A Pfizer employee who was secretly recorded saying his company has considered mutating the Covid virus for profit said he was lying to impress a date.
On Wednesday, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released a secretly recorded video of Pfizer employee Jordan Walker stating his employer has considered mutating the Covid virus.
Walker, a Pfizer Director of R&D Strategic Development and Operations, said it was all a joke when confronted by O’Keefe in a restaurant, as shown in a separate Project Veritas video released on Thursday.
“I was trying to impress a person on a date. By lying,” Walker said.
“I’m not even a scientist,” he told O’Keefe.
Walker seemed to be flipping through denial, anger, and fear. On top of claiming he was lying to impress a date, he also threatened O’Keefe and called the police.
He then grabbed O’Keefe’s Ipad that had the recorded video of him and smashed it on the floor.
The bombshell video from Wednesday that Project Veritas released showed Walker chatting with who he thought was a date – but was actually an undercover journalist on O’Keefe’s team.
In it, Walker suggested his company was considering mutating the Covid virus for profit.
“That is not what we say to the public, no. Don’t tell anyone about this, by the way. You have to promise not to tell anyone,” Walker said to the undercover journalist.
“We’re exploring like – you know how the virus keeps mutating?” Walker said.
“Well, one of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it ourselves so we could create preemptively develop new vaccines, right?”
“So, we have to do that,” he said.
Walker added that doing so would be risky because the public would not like to know Big Pharma mutated the virus.
He said Pfizer works with monkeys, infects them with Covid, and works to locate the most infectious viruses the monkeys produce. He said it’s not gain-of-function research, rather “directed evolution.”
Walker also said in the video that regulators who review Pfizer want to work for the company after, impacting their integrity.
Since Thursday’s video release, US Senator Marco Rubio issued an open letter to Pfizer.
“If the claims detailed in the [Veritas] video are true, Pfizer has put its desire for profit over the concern of national and global health and must hold itself accountable,” Rubio tweeted.
Last month, A Pfizer Data Safety Monitoring Board member admitted in court that she was on the pharmaceutical company’s payroll.
