Former White House doctor and current Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson blasted pharmaceutical company Pfizer in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News; “we need to hear from these executives UNDER OATH,’ he says.
Jackson wants answers on whether or not Pfizer conducted unethical gain-of-function research and for the company to explain the difference between gain-of-function and “directed evolution” research.
“Pfizer’s 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’m highly disappointed that their response came almost a month late and failed to answer many of my questions.”
“Among other things, I demanded Pfizer clarify the difference between directed evolution and gain-of-function research, however, their response did not address that,” Jackson noted. “This raises major red flags that must be immediately addressed and brings more questions than it answers.”
Pfizer’s initial response to Jackson’s inquiry didn’t go far enough according to the Lone Star State rep.
“To 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,” Pfizer claimed.
“In 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,” the pharmaceutical stated.
“The American people have the right to know if Pfizer has been manipulating the COVID-19 virus since the pandemic’s beginning for their financial benefit,” Jackson says. “This 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.”
Jackson shared the Breitbart article on Twitter, saying “Why was this response nearly a MONTH late? Why wouldn’t 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!!”
