OK. I’m a former senior pharma exec. This guy was not in research. He won’t have published any papers.

He was in product strategy, which is essentially working out how to allocate capital across your portfolio (in studies, marketing, launches or M&A). These people have an overview of what’s happening in R&D but never do any R or D.

Sadly, I really think so.

Attorney Jeff Childers agrees with you, 2SG:

An excerpt from his commentary:

“Walker’s interview comments confirmed just about everything we’ve long suspected about pharma. In fact, his claims are so believable that it is also unbelievable. It’s an explosive story tailor-made for conservative conspiracy television. In fact, it’s SO believably unbelievable that some people literally don’t believe it and think Project Veritas — and the rest of rightwing media — are being set up to be totally discredited.

In other words, it seems too good to be true. If I were suing Pfizer and someone sent me all these materials, I would be EXTREMELY cautious about running straight to court with it. I would want to triple-check it first. You could lose the lawsuit if it turned out to be fake.”

Then he points out how much of what Walker claims about himself, for example, graduating from Yale, can’t be verified, among many other points.

This story needed to be handled with much more caution than it was, and my head spins from all the potential implications this could have, regarding PV’s reliability.
