In a shocking revelation, an executive from Pfizer, the pharmaceutical giant known for developing the COVID-19 vaccine, was caught on video admitting to conducting gain of function research involving viruses. The video, released by Project Veritas, a conservative organization known for undercover sting operations, shows the executive discussing the research with James O'Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas.
The Pfizer executive that @Project_Veritas caught admitting to horrific virus gain of function research had the gall to call police on @JamesOKeefeIII for asking him questions. I love how he says he feels unsafe but then demands to be locked in with James. pic.twitter.com/Sh1IEGUSkB

The executive, whose name has not been released, can be heard in the video admitting to conducting research on viruses that could potentially be used as bioweapons. O'Keefe can be heard asking the executive questions about the research, but the executive becomes agitated and calls the police, claiming that he feels unsafe. Despite the executive's claim of feeling unsafe, he can be heard in the video demanding to be locked in with O'Keefe, seemingly in an attempt to prevent him from leaving the scene.
This revelation has sparked widespread concern and calls for transparency from Pfizer. Many are now questioning the legitimacy of Pfizer's research, and whether the company has any involvement in gain of function research. Gain of function research involves manipulating viruses to enhance their ability to cause disease, with the goal of understanding how to prevent and treat those diseases.
The practice of gain of function research has been controversial for years, with critics arguing that the potential for misuse outweighs any potential benefits. Supporters of gain of function research argue that it is necessary to study viruses in this way in order to better understand how they might evolve and develop into more dangerous forms.
The World Health Organization has stated that gain of function research should only be conducted in laboratories with the highest level of biosecurity. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has also issued guidelines for gain of function research, stating that it should only be conducted if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
In recent years, there have been several high-profile incidents involving gain of function research, including the accidental release of a virus from a laboratory in China in 2019. This incident, along with concerns about the potential misuse of gain of function research, led the NIH to temporarily halt funding for such research in the United States.
Pfizer has not commented on the incident or the allegations made by Project Veritas. However, it is worth noting that the credibility of Project Veritas has been called into question in the past, with some accusing the organization of selectively editing footage and presenting misleading information. It is important to consider the source of the information and potential biases when evaluating the claims made in the video.
Despite this, Pfizer's reputation as a pharmaceutical giant is at stake, and the company should be transparent about its research and should be held accountable for any unethical conduct. The importance of gain of function research, as well as the potential risks, should be carefully considered by the scientific community and policymakers.
The public has the right to know about any research that is being conducted in their name and with their tax dollars. In light of this revelation, Pfizer must take responsibility for its actions and be transparent about its research practices. The company must address any ethical concerns and ensure that it is adhering to the highest standards of biosecurity.
In addition, this incident highlights the need for oversight and regulation of gain of function research. The scientific community and policymakers must work together to ensure that any research conducted is done so ethically and with the safety of the public in mind.
The video released by Project Veritas raises serious questions about Pfizer's research practices, and it is crucial that the company provides answers to these questions in a timely and transparent manner. The public deserves to know the truth about what is happening in the laboratories of one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies.
