Jackson said in a statement to Breitbart News, \u201cPfizer\u2019s response to me was woefully inadequate and continues to show that big pharma is prioritizing its profits over the safety of the American public. I\u2019m highly disappointed that their response came almost a month late and failed to answer many of my questions.\u201d
\nJackson, a physician and a member of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, sent a letter to Pfizer in January, demanding answers on if Pfizer engaged in gain-of-function research by intentionally mutating the coronavirus.
\nIn Pfizer\u2019s response letter, which was exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, Pfizer strongly denied that the company would engage in gain-of-function research.
\n\u201cTo 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,\u201d Pfizer claimed.
\n\u201cIn 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,\u201d the pharmaceutical stated.
\nJackson contended that Pfizer failed to clarify many details surrounding the claims that it conducted gain-of-function research. He charged that the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will investigate these claims, which may include bringing in pharmaceutical executives to testify under oath.
\n\u201cAmong other things, I demanded Pfizer clarify the difference between directed evolution and gain-of-function research, however, their response did not address that,\u201d Jackson noted. \u201cThis raises major red flags that must be immediately addressed and brings more questions than it answers.\u201d
\n\u201cThe American people have the right to know if Pfizer has been manipulating the COVID-19 virus since the pandemic\u2019s beginning for their financial benefit,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis Congress, I will work to ensure the American people get the answers they deserve. The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will investigate, and I believe we need to hear from pharmaceutical executives about this under oath.\u201d
\nJackson wrote, \u201cWhy was this response nearly a MONTH late? Why wouldn\u2019t they clarify the difference between directed evolution and gain of function? MAJOR red flags. I believe we need to hear from these executives UNDER OATH!!\u201d
\nRep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) also said Pfizer\u2019s response was not convincing. She wrote, \u201cWe\u2019ve all seen the confession tape. Your denials are no good here.\u201d
\nThe claim that prompted Jackson\u2019s inquiry came from a Project Veritas video in which Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations, mRNA Scientific Planner, claimed that the company was engaging in what he described as \u201cdirected evolution.\u201d
\nThe Pfizer executive concluded in his letter to Jackson, \u201cPfizer 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
