Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield made this admission during a July 12 hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. The committee's hearing centered on government oversight of taxpayer-funded high-risk virus research.
"I do think one of the greatest mistakes that was made, of course, was mandating these vaccines," he told senators. "They should have never been mandated. It should have been open to personal choice."
Redfield, who led the CDC from 2018 to 2021, also admitted that the spike protein produced by mRNA vaccines is "toxic to the body" and triggers "a very strong pro-inflammatory response." According to the former Trump administration official, he doesn't administer mRNA vaccines in his clinical practice – preferring "killed protein vaccines" instead.
He also declared biosecurity as America's "greatest national security threat." Moreover, Redfield called for a pause on gain-of-function research. (Related: COVID jabs induce 723x more brain clots than flu shots, shocking study finds.)
"I'm not aware of any advanced therapeutic or vaccine that has come to pass because of gain-of-function research. I do think there has to be a very aggressive debate of whether there's any benefit from that research," he remarked.
"Based on my initial analysis, I believe then, and I still believe today, that the COVID-19 infections were the direct result of a biomedical research experiment and subsequent lab leak."

The Defender noted in a July 12 piece about the former CDC head's testimony: "Redfield's statements stand in stark contrast to the CDC's official stance during his tenure, which strongly promoted mRNA vaccine uptake as safe and effective. The late admission of vaccine injuries underscores the failure of public health agencies and the medical establishment to provide informed consent to the billions of vaccine recipients worldwide."
Redfield calls on FDA to release all safety data it has
During the same hearing, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) pressed Redfield on the issue of health agencies suppressing data about the COVID-19 vaccines. He highlighted concerning data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System that showed over 37,000 deaths reported after COVID-19 vaccination. Of this total, 24 percent of vaccine deaths occurred within two days of injection.
In response, Redfield acknowledged that there was "no appropriate transparency from the beginning about the potential side effects of these vaccines." He criticized attempts to "under-report any side effects because they argued that would make the public less likely to get vaccinated." The former official also expressed disappointment toward the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) handling of vaccine safety information.
"The FDA should release all of the safety data they have. I was very disappointed to hear that they were planning to hold on to that until 2026. That really creates a sense of total lack of trust in our public health agencies toward vaccination," said Redfield.
Johnson displayed a chart comparing adverse event reports for various drugs, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, to those for COVID-19 vaccines. The stark contrast in reported deaths from these therapeutics – with COVID-19 vaccines showing significantly higher numbers – fueled Johnson's demand for more transparency.
"As important as the cover-up of the origin story is, there's a lot more that’s being covered up," Johnson asserted. "The public has a right to know. We pay for these agencies. We pay their salaries. We fund these studies."
