Pfizer admits 'engineering' Covid in lab studies to ensure its antiviral drug works on new variants — but pharma giant insists tests were not 'gain of function’ and did not pose risk to public

Pfizer has admitted it ‘engineered’ mutated Covid viruses in lab tests to ensure its vaccine and drugs remained effective against new variants – but the company denies the experiments posed a risk to the public.

In a press release sneaked out on Friday night, the pharma giant finally responded to an undercover video that went viral last week in which a supposed director at the firm claimed the company was exploring 'directed evolution' research on monkeys to make the virus 'more potent'.

Jordon Trishton Walker, who appears to have been a senior staffer in Pfizer's research and development division, was caught making the explosive claim in a sting by the right-wing activist group Project Veritas.

Pfizer flatly denied conducting gain of function or directed evolution research on monkeys but admitted that ‘in a limited number of cases’ it altered the virus and tested new mutations against its Covid antiviral drug Paxlovid in Petri dishes.

The New York-based firm claims the experiments are essential to get ahead of drug-resistant strains and says similar tests are carried out by 'many companies and academic institutions in the US and around the world'.

But DailyMail.com spoke to several independent virologists and epidemiologists who were split about whether Pfizer's experiments posed a risk to the public.

Professor Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, has been an outspoken advocate of the lab leak theory, the idea Covid escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

Debunked. No evidence. Pfizer admits to doing all good things and denies doing any bad things. Move along.

Whatever Pfizer says they are not doing is what they are actually doing. They are utter liars. Always doing the opposite of what they claim.

Pfizer admits ‘engineering’ Covid in lab studies “to ensure the new variants work”.

This was the second step of engineering.

Covid was created for the “vaccine”.

Yep.

Given that they hired people like that complete moron who melted down on camera because Project Veritas caught him telling the truth, there is absolutely no level of assurance Pfizer can provide to make people believe they won’t crap on their hands in their secure labs and rub them all over the buffet line at the Golden Corral.

That Delta Bravo described above is WHO PFIZER IS. IT IS WHO THEY ALL ARE. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

That guy.

That is completely representative of who Pfizer, Moderna, and others have working in their secure and ultra-isolated labs.

I think so too. I think the vaccine came first.

That is for sure-and in the meantime, a bunch of sharklike injury attorneys need to engage Pfizer in class action lawsuits until they bleed real money...

They created the variants with their engineering.

“Oh hey, boss, our current vexxationation can’t handle this new mutation we created.”

“Then go create a new vexxationation that will handle it.”

“Gotcha, thanks boss.”

An organization that knowingly causes hundreds of thousands dead is something that even the greediest attorneys will think twice about crossing.

Reminds me of the series “Dopesick”. And the Sackler family still walk this earth. SMH.
