Long
before Robert Redfield ascended to the CDC directorship, and also
assumed a key post on the White House COVID Task Force, he was a US Army
researcher working on an AIDS vaccine.
He ran into a great deal
of trouble. His career was almost derailed. The Army finally saved
him, through what some investigators assert was a complete whitewash.
On
June 7th, 1994, two doctors from Public Citizen, Peter Lu and the
relentless consumer advocate, Sidney Wolfe, wrote a long letter to
Congressman Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Health
and the Environment. If Waxman had followed up with decisive action,
Redfield might have been finished for good in the field of public
health. Here are excerpts from the devastating letter:
"We are
writing to request that your Subcommittee hold a hearing, as soon as
possible, to investigate charges of grave impropriety committed by U.S.
Department of Defense' AIDS researchers. We have obtained Internal
memoranda, not previously made public, from the Department of Defense
that allege a systematic pattern of data manipulation, inappropriate
statistical analyses and misleading data presentation by Army
researchers in an apparent attempt to promote the usefulness of the
GP160 AIDS vaccine...The Phase I and Phase II studies in which this
alleged misconduct occurred were conducted by researchers at the Walter
Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), led by Lt. Col. Robert
Redfield, M.D., Chief of the Department of Retroviral Research, and
misleading results from these trials were reported in...the New England
Journal of Medicine in June 1991, the Journal AIDS Research and Human
Retroviruses in June 1992 and the annual International AIDS Conference
in Amsterdam in July 1992. In addition, overstated conclusions have been
presented on two occasions at hearings before your Subcommittee.
"Meeting
on October 23, 1992 to discuss the allegations by two Air Force
research physicians (see below) of scientific misconduct by Dr.
Redfield, a subcommittee of the Institutional Review Committee at the
Wilford Hall U.S. Air Force Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas reached
the following conclusion:
"The committee agreed the information
presented by Dr. Redfield seriously threatens his credibility as a
researcher and has the potential to negatively impact AIDS research
funding for military institutions as a whole. His allegedly unethical
behavior creates false hope and could result in premature deployment of
the vaccine...
"That meeting was called to review an October 21,
1992 memorandum...from Maj. Craig W. Hendrix, M.D., Director of the HIV
Program in the Air Force, and Col. R. Neal Boswell, MD., Associate Chief
of the Division of Medicine in the Air Force, to Col. Donald Burke,
M.D., Director of the Division of Retrovirology at WRAIR and Dr.
Redfield's immediate supervisor. The memorandum decried 'The problem of
misleading or, possibly, deceptive presentations by Dr. Redfleld, which
overstate the GP160 [vaccine] Phase I data...' and recommended that the
following action be taken:
"(1) publicly correct the record in a medium suitable for widespread dissemination to our civilian scientific colleagues;
"(2)
censure Dr. Redfield for potential scientific misconduct which should
at least include temporarily suspending his involvement on the current
immunotherapy protocols; and
"(3) initiate an investigation by a
fully independent outside Investigative body...to evaluate the facts of
the case and recommend appropriate actions.
"Senior Department
of Defense scientists have known of this misconduct since at least
October 1992, and Dr. Redfield has acknowledged that his analyses were
faulty on at least three occasions to internal Department of Defense
audiences (the earliest admission was on August 28, 1992)..."
This is a VERY damning letter. Vaccine fraud.
But
Redfield not only avoided professional devastation, he rose through the
political hierarchy, eventually becoming CDC director. At the
CDC---let's be frank---lying about vaccines in order to promote and sell
them is job number one.
Redfield now also serves on the White
House COVID Task Force, an organization dedicated to gaining rapid
approval for a pandemic vaccine, come hell or high water.
Charges
of extreme scientific fraud on an issue of vaccines THEN; the man
occupies two high posts where pushing vaccines is paramount NOW.
But
don't worry, all you pod people wearing masks and waiting for the
messianic COVID vaccine. All is well. Sure it is. The vaccine won't
harm or kill you or your children. Resume your pacified slumber.
