Pfizer Responds to Research Claims

New York, N.Y., January 27, 2023 – Allegations have recently been made related to gain of function and directed evolution research at Pfizer and the company would like to set the record straight.

In the ongoing development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has not conducted gain of function or directed evolution research. Working with collaborators, we have conducted research where the original SARS-CoV-2 virus has been used to express the spike protein from new variants of concern. This work is undertaken once a new variant of concern has been identified by public health authorities. This research provides a way for us to rapidly assess the ability of an existing vaccine to induce antibodies that neutralize a newly identified variant of concern. We then make this data available through peer reviewed scientific journals and use it as one of the steps to determine whether a vaccine update is required.

In addition, to meet U.S. and global regulatory requirements for our oral treatment, PAXLOVID™, Pfizer undertakes in vitro work (e.g., in a laboratory culture dish) to identify potential resistance mutations to nirmatrelvir, one of PAXLOVID’s two components. With a naturally evolving virus, it is important to routinely assess the activity of an antiviral. Most of this work is conducted using computer simulations or mutations of the main protease–a non-infectious part of the virus. In a limited number of cases when a full virus does not contain any known gain of function mutations, such virus may be engineered to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells. In addition, in vitro resistance selection experiments are undertaken in cells incubated with SARS-CoV-2 and nirmatrelvir in our secure Biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory to assess whether the main protease can mutate to yield resistant strains of the virus.

After reading “Pfizer’s Response” — what Pfizer claims....

Go read what Dr Malone, Veratas, et. al. is now exposing in this matter.

Quite a different view of the matter.

Pretty clever piece of obfuscation there in that statement. We aren't doing gain-of-function research with regards to that drug. We are doing it for future drugs. Who are these cohorts with whom, you are working with? The Chinese at the Wuhan, or some other Chinese, lab?

My old bio professor was muttering to himself about leaving for Mars. When I asked him why,he replied,cuz they are learning how to make viruses. He had just attended a seminar dealing with that issue. True story from long time ago.

Pfizer needs to be sued and fined out of existence Criminal charges with life sentences for the financial planners and boffins.
