Former CDC Director Robert Redfield has been on an interesting evolutionary path for a few years now.
Once at the very apex of the Public Health™ regime in good standing with the governing class, he has since burned most of those bridges, starting with his very tepid public speculation back in 2021, dipping his toes gingerly into the water, that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan lab — once “conspiracy theory” and now so banal that even NPC liberals tacitly concede it’s true.

Via Newsweek (emphasis added):
In 2019, the Trump Administration set a course to address chronic disease, funding earlier interventions to curb the growing crisis. Five years later, this issue is exactly where it needs to be: at the center of the presidential debate, now in a unique partnership.
To heal our children, a president must see the possible and lead our nation to act. After more than 40 years in the public health arena, it might surprise some of my colleagues to know I think President Trump chose the right man for the job: Robert Kennedy, Jr.
Talk of healthcare reform often centers on cost to consumers. We know chronic disease is more than 75 percent of the country's $4 trillion annual health care expenditure. Unfortunately, we have become a sick nation. We're paying too much for chronic disease, and this must change. It's time to make America healthy again…
Due to increased special interest and corporate influences on our federal agencies, prospects of national success are quite dim unless public trust is firmly re-established. Without public trust, our nation cannot effectively impact public health.
Across a century-plus of cozy courtship, the federal regulators have nearly married the regulated, especially in health care. Today, private industry uses its political influence to control decision-making at regulatory agencies, law enforcement entities, and legislatures.
Kennedy is right: All three of the principal health agencies suffer from agency capture. A large portion of the FDA's budget is provided by pharmaceutical companies. NIH is cozy with biomedical and pharmaceutical companies and its scientists are allowed to collect royalties on drugs NIH licenses to pharma. And as the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), I know the agency can be influenced by special interest groups.
Notably absent anywhere in the essay is any reference to COVID-19 or the CDC’s role in the gain-of-function research/lockdown/vax mandate/mask mandate regime — which would likely implicate him personally.
Presumably, furthermore, Redfield knew all of the true phenomena he describes when he was getting paid exorbitantly to buttress the Public Health™ profiteering scheme in the fascistic biomedical-industrial complex that resulted from the merge of corporate and state interests; he just lacked the courage or the moral fortitude to say anything about it.
I give him no quarter.
But…
Assuming he is scared of being prosecuted himself, which I hope he is, if he can be flipped by a good prosecutor, he would surely be an invaluable witness. He undoubtedly knows where Fauci’s metaphorical (maybe literal) bodies are buried.
