3:05pm- On Wednesday, a Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic heard from experts in science, medicine, and infectious disease to help determine the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Robert Redfield, the former Director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), testified that COVID-19’s unique characteristics mean that it was likely the result of gain-of-function research. Dr. Redfield explains, “[i]t's important to understand what the cleavage site does... It changes the orientation of the binding domain of Covid. So now it could not see the Ace2 receptor, it totally changes the orientation, so it has a high affinity for human receptors... It didn't seem that it belonged there”—concluding that the virus was most likely engineered.
