Appointed by Trump after his predecessor left
in disgrace, Redfield was
a controversial virologist with no experience leading
a public health agency. During the AIDS crisis, he
preached a religious approach, calling for abstinence
as a solution. With his former assistant,
Deborah Birx, Redfield's attempts to push
an unproven HIV vaccine were twice investigated
for scientific misconduct. Redfield is a little bit
of an oddity for the CDC
