(Natural News) Former U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Robert Redfield alleges that Tony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) "knew" full well that he was funding illegal gain-of-function research that might lead to a deadly plandemic.

Referring to the lab origin theory of covid, Redfield told former Senate Finance Committee investigator Paul Thacker recently that Fauci was fully aware at the time that millions of American taxpayer dollars were being funneled directly into bat coronavirus tampering operations that are illegal here in the United States, but that are something of a free for all in places like China and Ukraine.

Not only was Fauci fully aware of what that money was going towards, according to Redfield, but he also deliberately "misled Congress" when he denied to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and others that he had any involvement in illicit gain-of-function bat coronavirus research.

"Nothing's going to happen as long as the Biden administration is there," Redfield added about Fauci while also claiming that he and Fauci "are friends," though the two "don't agree on this at all." (Related: Redfield claims he was "threatened and ostracized" for suggesting that covid came from a lab.)
