WATCH: Subject of Project Veritas Pfizer Sting Freaks Out After Being Confronted by James O’Keefe

by Leave a Comment

Project Veritas released a video Thursday of a purported Pfizer employee becoming irate after being confronted by James O’Keefe and crew, claiming to have lied about the company’s practices in order to impress his date.

The video shows O’Keefe confronting a man identified as Jordon Trishton Walker — Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations — at a New York restaurant, asking him to explain statements about the company potentially developing new vaccines by creating mutations in the COVID-19 virus. He discussed the subject with a Project Veritas investigator secretly recording Walker on a date.

At some point that same night, O’Keefe approaches Walker’s table, sitting in a seat apparently vacated by the investigator who had recorded their conversations. Upon realizing what was happening, Walker becomes distressed, calling the police and asserting that he is “literally a liar” to O’Keefe.

“He’s going to call the police for asking him a question. Please do call the police. Please do,” O’Keefe says. “He’s on tape. You’re talking about mutating the COVID virus.”

“I was trying to impress a person on a date. By lying,” Walker pleads. 

The man identified as Walker can be heard telling the operator that there were five “white people” and begging the cops to come as soon as possible because he felt “unsafe.” Throughout the video, Walker refuses to answer O’Keefe’s question about what he claimed on tape regarding Pfizer’s research. Footage also shows a physical altercation with several individuals in the crossfire. Project Veritas claimed that the man identified as Walker destroyed the iPad that O’Keefe used to show him the clips recorded during his date.

WATCH:

The allegations from the undercover footage have caught the attention of several lawmakers. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a member of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, is demanding answers from Pfizer regarding the allegations of the company engaging in “directed evolution” for vaccine development.

“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, demanding several answers from Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla by February 1, 2023.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) also sent a letter to Bourla asking questions in the same vein. “If the claims detailed in the video are true, Pfizer has put its desire for profit over the concern of national and global health and must hold itself accountable,” he wrote.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who has highlighted the stories of Americans alleging health problems after receiving a coronavirus vaccine, said of the Project Veritas sting: “It’s time for Congress to thoroughly investigate vaccine manufacturers and the entire COVID vaccine approval process.”

Rep. Ronny Jackson Demands Answers from Pfizer Following Allegations of ‘Conducting Unethical Research’

Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a member of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, is demanding answers from Pfizer following viral allegations of the pharmaceutical giant deliberately engaging in gain-of-function research by intentionally mutating the Chinese coronavirus.

In a letter first obtained by Breitbart News, Jackson demands answers from Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla following the release of the latest Project Veritas video, which featured Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations, stating that the company was dancing with what he described as “directed evolution”

“One of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it [COVID] ourselves so we could create — preemptively develop new vaccines, right? So, we have to do that. If we’re gonna do that though, there’s a risk of like, as you could imagine — no one wants to be having a pharma company mutating fucking viruses,” he said in the video, begging the undercover journalist to keep that information secret.

In the video, Walker emphasized scientists must be very careful to ensure the virus does not create something that mutates and spreads everywhere, which is what he believes happened in Wuhan.

“It makes no sense that this virus popped out of nowhere. It’s bullshit,” he continued, explaining he has heard that Pfizer scientists are “are optimizing it [COVID mutation process], but they’re going slow because everyone is very cautious — obviously they don’t want to accelerate it too much.”

“I think they are also just trying to do it as an exploratory thing because you obviously don’t want to advertise that you are figuring out future mutations,” he added.

The Project Veritas video, notably, does not contain evidence that Pfizer is engaging in what Walker claimed.

In the letter, Jackson made it clear he is dedicated to uncovering the truth, demanding transparency on how these companies developed their vaccines.

“It was recently reported and there is mounting evidence that Pfizer has been performing gain-of-function research and conducting experiments intended to mutate the COVID-19 virus,” Jackson wrote.

“These reports state that Pfizer has been looking to mutate the virus in order to develop new vaccines to ensure there remains a steady cash flow into the company.

“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,” he continued, noting American taxpayers assisted in the effort to get vaccines out quickly with the public-private partnerships via President Trump’s successful Operation Warp Speed.

While Jackson said the Trump administration was successful in vaccine development and confronting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the congressman has growing concerns “Pfizer is abusing the trust of the American public and taking advantage of an incompetent Biden administration.”

Transparency and accountability must be at the forefront of coronavirus vaccine development, he continued, explaining that there could be severe consequences — including another pandemic — for the world if Pfizer is, in fact, engaging in the same sort of research that was conducted at the Wuhan lab.

Because of that, Jackson is demanding several answers from Bourla by February 1, 2023. Questions include if the company is or has engaged in gain-of-function research —  conducting experiments with the intention of mutating the coronavirus — and if it is doing so for the “sole purpose of developing new vaccines for profit.”

Jackson also asks the CEO to explain the difference between gain-of-function and “directed evolution” —  the latter being the term used by the Pfizer employee in the viral Project Veritas video — as well as safety precautions taken to ensure that this type of research does not lead to another “widespread health crisis.”

Further, Jackson asks Bourla to reveal how much Pfizer has profited from vaccine development in the last two years.

This week, Jackson fired a warning shot, sharing the viral Project Veritas video on Twitter and alerting Pfizer to “CLEAR YOUR CALENDAR.”

“I’m sure the committee to investigate Covid will have questions on this!!” he exclaimed:

Indeed, the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, as detailed by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), is posed to “finally get answers to the COVID origins and the federal government’s gain of function research that contributed to the pandemic.”

In December, McCarthy promised that the GOP-led House would hold the Biden administration and corrupt officials accountable from “day one,” and that includes investigating the origins of the Chinese coronavirus. 

Concerns over gain-of-function research have remained at the forefront of the debate on the origins of the virus as Dr. Anthony Fauci has continued to deny that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded such research at the Wuhan lab, despite the NIH admitting it happened. 

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has engaged in several contentious discussions with Fauci, who has remained in denial, describing gain-of-function as a “nebulous term.” 

“We’re aware that you deleted gain-of-function to the NIH website,” Paul said during a November 2021 hearing, accusing Fauci of changing the definition on the website “to try to cover your ass, basically.”

Gov. Hochul Considering ‘Options’ After NY Supreme Court Justice Strikes Down Vax Rule for Healthcare Workers

by Leave a Comment

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is reportedly considering her “options” following a judge’s decision to strike down the coronavirus vaccine mandate on healthcare workers.

The New York Supreme Court Justice Gerard Neri this month concluded that the Empire State exceeded its authority by mandating the Chinese coronavirus vaccine on healthcare workers, deeming the rule “null, void and of no effect.” New York’s Department of Health disagreed with the decision, deeming vaccines — which do not prevent transmission of the virus, nor do they prevent one from contracting the virus — “a critical public health tool.”

The department added that it is “exploring its options” in response to the judge’s ruling.

News10NBC Investigative Reporter Jennifer Lewke confronted Hochul on this issue, citing the massive staff shortages the state is facing in the healthcare sector due to the previous mandate.

“The hospitals and nursing homes say they’re waiting for DOH guidance on whether they can hire any of those workers back. What’s the latest on that?” she asked the governor, who touted a similar line as the DOH, asserting that the agency is still “considering all our options.”

“I will say that last year in my State of the State, we put forth a plan to help retention and also recruitment and a lot of those programs are just unfolding now,” she said, seemingly attempting to dismiss the mounting concerns over the staff shortages hospitals are facing across her state.

“$20 billion to bring back the healthcare system, including bonuses for existing workers, helping settle nursing strikes, which I get very involved in, to make sure that patients are being cared for. It’s a problem, but I don’t think the answer is to have someone who comes in who is sick, be exposed to someone who can give them coronavirus, give them COVID-19,” she said, failing to mention that the vaccines do not prevent the spread of the respiratory illness.

“I don’t know that that’s the right answer. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s not. So, we’re exploring our options, but I think everybody who goes into a healthcare facility or nursing home should have the assurance, and their family members should know, that we have taken all steps to protect the public health and that includes making sure that those who come in contact with them at their time of most vulnerability, when they are sick or elderly, will not pass on the virus,” she said, appearing to repeat misinformation touted by President Biden in December 2021, who falsely suggested that vaccinated individuals did not spread the virus.

The news comes as New York lawmakers, including Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), demand Hochul finally concede, pointing directly to the staffing crisis.

“The evidence is clear: the staffing shortage affecting New York’s healthcare sector is a crisis and must be addressed,” they wrote in a letter to the governor, noting that as of December 7, 2022, there were 9,300 job openings for nurses alone.

“Our communities and hospitals need your support, not your burdensome mandates, as they continue to operate under historic staffing shortages,” they added.
