[American Greatness] Leaked Pfizer internal emails exposed by Project Veritas Wednesday night revealed that the drug company used fetal stem cells to develop its COVID-19 vaccine, and tried to hide that fact from the public, particularly Catholics who are bound by their faith to avoid products that violate church teaching on abortion.Pfizer insider, Melissa Strickler discussed with Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe how corporate executives instructed staff to be secretive about the use of human fetal tissue in laboratory testing of the COVID vaccine.
The whistleblower works as a "quality auditor" for Pfizer, according to Project Veritas.
Pfizer’s Chief Scientific Officer, Philip Dormitzer, admitted in one email that aborted fetus tissue was used in the company’s vaccine program, but he told employees to stick with Pfizer’s PR talking points that failed to disclose the truth.
"HEK293T cells, used for the IVE assay, are ultimately derived from an aborted fetus," Dormitzer wrote. "On the other hand, the Vatican doctrinal committee has confirmed that they consider it acceptable for Pro-Life believers to be immunized. Pfizer’s official statement couches the answer well and is what should be provided in response to an outside inquiry."
Vanessa Gelman, who serves as Pfizer’s Senior Director of Worldwide Research, urged staff to avoid talking about the human fetal cells in the company’s vaccine program.
"From the perspective of corporate affairs, we want to avoid having the information on fetal cells floating out there," Gelman said.
"The risk of communicating this right now outweighs any potential benefit we could see, particularly with general members of the public who may take this information and use it in ways we may not want out there. We have not received any questions from policy makers or media on this issue in the last few weeks, so we want to avoid raising this if possible," she said.
