Some speculation:
I’m wondering if Redfield didn’t have access to 5-eyes signals intelligence. Unlikely that 5-👁 agencies can tap internal phone calls in Communist China, but they might have ways of detecting volume: if there was a flurry of communication activity between different organizations in Wuhan in October, it would suggest some event had taken place. This isn’t proof, nor would intelligence organizations want to disclose their capabilities by presenting such data as circumstantial evidence. But one wonders how and why Redfield would form such strong opinions.
A second circumstantial indicator would be a sudden drop off in communications, both internally and with external contacts/collaborators. This is the opposite scenario from the above, but in each case there’s a unmissable change in volume from normal communication.
5-Eyes are the intelligence agencies of UK, U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. They share signals intelligence (and probably human intelligence on a very limited basis), and they also collaborate from time to time with other allies, such as France, Germany, Israel, (maybe) Saudi Arabia. In the U.S., the lead agency would be the NSA.
I don’t want to generate paranoia here about surveillance states, so let me explain a bit about how the NSA performs it’s work: they’re prevented from using broad warrantless phone taps by the U.S. Constitution, so they rely on metadata. Metadata can be collection and analysis of communication volumes. It can be who is talking to who, but not the content of those communications. It can be discovering who is using encrypted communication (again, without knowing the content). In the U.S., the NSA has made it clear that they don’t support the FBI’s attempts to make encryption illegal. This is because the NSA can tell a great deal from the metadata. They can discover covert networks and covert activity without violating the civil rights of U.S. citizens.
The Tinfoil Hat Brigade will suggest I’m naive, that of course the NSA spies on U.S. citizens, that there is a grand conspiracy, etc. I’d say it’s not happening because it’s not in the organization’s best long term interest. Conspiracies and coverups get exposed sooner or later, and this hurts the standing (and funding) of the organization and brings attention to the organization. While each of the Five Eyes countries have different laws concerning civil rights, they generally operate under the most restrictive rules for mutual protection. The last thing they want is too much attention, scrutiny, and potential embarrassment.
In addition to these concerns, there’s also the problem of the sheer volume of data if the NSA was taping everyone’s phones. There just isn’t enough computing power to comb thru everyone’s conversations, looking for signals among the vast amount of noise. Similarly, there isn’t enough computing power to try and decrypt all the encrypted communications, even if they have that capability, which is uncertain. But as I said, these agencies are able to fulfill their missions by combing through and analyzing metadata.
It’s for this reason that I think these agencies discovered anomalous activity (either a sharp rise or sharp drop) in Wuhan in late autumn and early winter in Wuhan in 2019. It wouldn’t be conclusive evidence, but it would be enough for Redfield to form a “strong opinion”.
This is all speculation on my part. I’m not an expert on intelligence and espionage, but I’ve got an “interested layman’s” education on the subject. I’m more interested in explanations based what is public knowledge, rather than paranoia and conspiracy theories (or too many spy movies).

If people just got more exercise and better diets, they wouldn’t need hospitalization after being involved in car accidents. The body has natural immunities and healing powers against traumatic injuries. People in comas would recover more quickly if they would just release their anger and think positive thoughts.
The above is a joke, and I’m sad that I have to spell that out.
Alaska
Anybody following what’s happening in Alaska? It’s also having a big surge in cases that is overwhelming its hospital system, despite a comparatively high vaccination rate. It’s not totally clear why, but some things stand out. Alaska is the biggest state, but with low population density, with many far flung communities served by a “spoke and hub” hospital infrastructure. Local clinics are the first line of medical care, and in normal times, they send critical patients to hospitals in the big cities that have the capacity and capability to treat critical injuries and diseases. So one of the problems being suffered in Alaska is that the city hospitals don’t have open beds for those needing critical care that are currently in the clinics. And the clinics are not equipped to handle so many patients in need of critical care. The nearest states are experiencing their own surges and do not have open beds to receive these patients.
However, that doesn’t explain the surge of cases to begin with despite the vaccination rate. Perhaps the political environment might help explain. The governor will not impose any sort of health protocol mandates, including masks (and vaccines, obviously) or instituting temporary lockdowns because he feels that “freedom” is more important than community health. Local officials are following suit; some going further. A recently elected mayor of a big city ran on an anti-mask and vaccine platform, and he has pledged to never support mandates.
Besides the politics, I think there might be a mistaken notion about the effective herd protection given by certain vaccination rates. If 85% vaccination rates achieve herd immunity, and your state has achieved 50% vaccination, that doesn’t mean that you will have 50% fewer infections. This is especially true if people are not masking and not following other safety protocols.
