Former Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Director Robert Redfield told Fox News he believes Dr. Anthony Fauci's purported disinterest in figuring out the true origins of coronavirus are grounded in his support for one behavior that could have led to it.
Redfield, speaking Wednesday with "America Reports," was asked to respond to comments Fauci made in a February Boston Globe video-interview in which the reporter wondered whether the world will ever know the origins of the microbe.
"Might not — it very well might not — we may not even know, that's unfortunate, but that's the possibility that we might not ever know," Fauci said.

US taxpayers supported research in three Chinese labs that included risky gain-of-function experiments with coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a new government report found Wednesday.
Chinese scientists Ben Hu, Ping Yu and Yan Zhu were the first humans to contract COVID-19 while at the lab researching how to increase infectiousness and make pathogens stronger, according to a Tuesday report from Substack journalists Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi.
