Pfizer’s unpunished confession
In 1985 I was a young physician in internal medicine training. In that year, pharmaceutical companies were allowed to advertise not only to physicians as had been true in the past, but were now free to promote their medications to the general public. At the time, I wondered why Pharma would want to spend more money less efficiently. Over the years, as I have observed little evidence in support of direct-to-patient marketing, the question remained.
Recent events, however, have opened my eyes.
At the end of January, Project Veritas released a video featuring a senior executive physician at Pfizer caught with an undercover camera admitting to some extremely damaging information regarding their COVID-19 vaccine. This official, Jordan Walker MD, is described on the Pfizer website as “Pfizer Global Director of Research and Development-Strategic Operations and mRNA Scientific Planning.”
Among his admissions were:
1. The virus and the vaccine were a “cash cow” for Pfizer (no surprise).
2. That the FDA and CDC have been “captured” by Pharma, resulting in lax oversight. This is because of a “revolving door” between employees at the federal agencies moving to Pharma for better jobs and more money. He admits that this is “pretty good for the industry” but “bad for everyone else”.
3. That Pfizer has been growing SARS-coV-2 in monkeys and encouraging mutations so they can develop preemptive vaccines. They refer to this as “directed evolution” rather than “gain of function” which is of course illegal in the United States. One of the most chilling parts of the interview is his blasé attitude about the possibility of these viruses escaping into the community.
4. He admits that there appears to be a problem with female fertility and menstrual issues secondary to the vaccine. He admits that the Pfizer scientists don’t know the mechanism, and from his statements, aren’t particularly interested. He is mainly concerned about liability issues. To quote the good doctor: “I hope we don’t find that this mRNA lingers in the body.” He then offers the possibility that the vaccine has “F***** up an entire generation.” He glibly notes that if this were true, he would have to remove his employment at Pfizer from his résumé.
You need to watch these videos. They’re absolutely infuriating.
For about two days, the release of this interview achieved widespread coverage in conservative media. It received little to no coverage in traditional mainstream outlets.
Despite this, given all we’ve been through over the last three years, these revelations should have rocked the country. Where is the public outrage? Where are the congressional committees that should be investigating these statements? For that matter, where is the Department of Justice?
It is possible that this has been buried by the long arm of Pfizer through their influence not only on government agencies but also on the news media through the sponsorship of their broadcasts. By January 28, any mention of this controversy was gone, and news coverage was all about the Chinese balloon. The revelation that Pfizer was mutating new COVID-19 viruses, and had possibly damaged the health of the whole generation, was forgotten.
If Dr. Walker’s story is true, and his incredibly callous attitude is any sign, Pfizer would seem to have created a rapacious, amoral, and arguably criminal corporate culture. This description might also extend to the cultures of the FDA, CDC, and our corporate media, who appear to have buried this incredibly important information in the face of Pfizer’s continuing advertisement dollars and employment opportunities.
All those years, I wondered why Pharma spent so richly on advertising.
It’s because I had the target wrong. The money wasn’t meant for prescriptions.
It was for media influence. And it worked.

Exclusive: Pfizer Denies Unethical Gain-of-Function Research for Coronavirus Vaccines in Letter to Rep. Ronny Jackson
Pfizer denied conducting gain-of-function research for the coronavirus virus in a letter to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
Jackson, a physician and a member of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, sent a letter in January, which was exclusively obtained by Breitbart News’s Hannah Bleau, demanding answers on if Pfizer engaged in gain-of-function research by intentionally mutating the Chinese coronavirus.
Pfizer responded to Jackson on February 23 with a letter signed by their vice president & COO of vaccine research, which was obtained by Breitbart News.
In the letter, Pfizer strongly denied that the company would engage in gain-of-function research.
“To be clear, we do not, and never would, engage in research to create or adapt viruses with the intention of making them more contagious or harmful to people,” Pfizer stated.
“In the ongoing development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has not conducted gain-of-function research with SARS-CoV-2 for any potential use in humans, laboratory animals or to use as a vaccine,” the pharmaceutical stated.
Pfizer explained that when a new coronavirus variant emerges, Pfizer studies changes in its spike protein to understand whether the company would need to update its vaccine.
He explained:
We do this by adapting the virus in a highly secure lab so that the spike protein matches the newly identified circulating variants. This is done to mimic viruses that are already circulating in nature. This type of work is scientific best practice and is commonly conducted by other companies, institutions and public health authorities. It is necessary both for assessing the effectiveness of existing vaccines and new vaccine candidates targeted at currently circulating variants.
The representative also said that the pharmaceutical giant also evaluates variants for the effectiveness of its coronavirus oral treatment, or Paxlovid:
As we have previously indicated, we then isolate the new viruses from these studies, or adapt viruses with targeted changes in the main protease, and test to see whether Paxlovid is still effective. All of this work is done in highly secure laboratories, and we have not studied these adapted COVID-19 viruses in animals.
The claim that prompted Jackson’s inquiry came from from a Project Veritas video in which Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations, mRNA Scientific Planner, stated that the company was engaging in what he described as “directed evolution.”
“If true, this is unbelievably unethical and concerning to imagine Pfizer would prioritize its profits over the safety of the American public by conducting such gain-of-function research and endangering the lives of the very people you propose to help,” Jackson wrote in his letter to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.

Breitbart News has not received a comment from Jackson as of press time.
The Pfizer executive concluded in his letter to Jackson, “Pfizer is dedicated to conducting research in an ethical and responsible manner. We have an unwavering commitment to keeping high standards of safety, quality, and compliance at the forefront of all we do.”
