Allison Maile is an investigative journalist employed by Project Veritas, a conservative nonprofit organization specializing in undercover sting operations to expose alleged wrongdoing in government, media, and corporations. She is known for her role in high-profile investigations using hidden cameras to capture statements from insiders. Maile gained significant attention in January 2023 for her undercover work targeting Pfizer. Posing as a recruiter from a fictional biotech firm called 'Good Venture Partners,' she recorded conversations with Jordon Trishton Walker, who was presented as Pfizer's Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations. In the footage, released by Project Veritas on 2023-01-25, Walker allegedly admitted that Pfizer was conducting 'directed evolution' research on SARS-CoV-2, exploring ways to mutate the virus to anticipate future variants. The videos sparked intense debate, denials from Pfizer, and media coverage questioning the implications for gain-of-function research and vaccine development. Her contributions align with Project Veritas's mission of activist journalism, though the organization has faced criticism for selective editing and legal challenges in its operations. Maile continues to be associated with Project Veritas as of the latest reports.
