30:46Now PlayingIn an exclusive 2026 interview, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield tells Dr. Drew what really happened behind-the-scenes during COVID - and why so much of what he knows is still classified. Dr. Redfield lays out his theory on the pandemic's origin, pointing to specific clues (including the furin cleavage site) that indicate lab engineering and gain-of-function research from bio labs in Wuhan, China.
"I found that in 2014 or 2015, this laboratory in Wuhan actually published that they had taught coronaviruses how to infect human tissue," reveals the former CDC director. "I said: I think THIS virus was taught."
He has a warning: after witnessing the largest pandemic of our generation, Dr. Redfield believes another animal flu is the next major threat.
