Former CDC Director: COVID-19 Leaked From Chinese Lab

The former CDC director says he's not convinced that COVID-19 became so infectious naturally, but other experts say a lab leak is unlikely.

The former director of the CDC is going into the greatest detail yet about why he thinks the COVID-19 pandemic started with a leak from a Chinese lab.  "There's an alternative hypothesis that it went from a bat virus, got into a laboratory, where in the laboratory, it was taught, educated, it evolved, so that it became a virus that could efficiently transmit human to human," Dr. Robert Redfield told Fox News. "My professional opinion as a virologist is that's the hypothesis that I support."  Dr. Robert Redfield told Fox News, it doesn’t make sense to him that the virus would become so infectious-- transmitting from human to human-- any other way. Other experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, say it's more likely the virus spread when someone came into contact with an infected animal.
