Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield has warned that dangerous gain-of-function research will trigger the next pandemic and it will be “much more brutal” than anything that came before it.

Redfield issued the warning during Monday’s broadcast of Hill.TV’s “Rising.”

Some experts have predicted that the next pandemic will emerge from animal spillover, such as bird flu jumping to humans.

However, Redfield disagrees and says he believes that the next pandemic will come “from gain-of-function research or intentional bioterrorism.”

And that the next pandemic “will be much more brutal to the world than Covid was.”
