Redfield's Warning

Redfield's Warning Synopsis

They ignored young army virologist Robert Redfield when he warned Americans that the sexually transmitted HIV virus affected heterosexual women and men just as it did gay men. They ignored Redfield when he called for the importance of early diagnosis for HIV infection. They ignored Redfield for a decade when he warned Americans that the country was not prepared for the pandemic that became Covid-19.

They ignored CDC Director Redfield during the pandemic when he warned that the government needed to be more transparent with the American public: to admit that the evidence did not support shutting down the country, that certain groups were in greater danger than others, that vaccines offered only limited protection and should not be mandated.

Now Redfield is issuing another warning. And ignoring him this time puts literally millions of people lives at risk.

Robert Redfield has spent his life studying viruses. And he knows what is coming. His new book, Redfield's Warning, predicts millions of Americans are going to die in the coming pandemic-if we don't start preparing for it now.

This fact-filled, anecdotal memoir brings readers inside Redfield's sub-microscopic world, introducing them to the extraordinary wonders and terrifying dangers of viruses, using the lessons of history to reinforce his dire warning. Speaking out bluntly, the CDC director during the first years of Covid-19 reveals what went right and what mistakes were made throughout the pandemic. Most importantly, he outlines a program of what needs to be done now to prepare for the bird flu pandemic that not only is coming-but may already be here.
