We need people on the inside. There were people on the inside of Pfizer who helped us obtain this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He then introduced Debbie Bernal onto the stage. He described her as the Pfizer representative who provided the necessary information to him when researching the pharmaceutical company.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;To be a whistleblower is to step outside the great chain of being, to basically be disconnected from the mothership. That&#8217;s sort of like how I feel right now,&#8221; O&#8217;Keefe. &#8220;But I&#8217;ve learned a lot of things over the last month, having been ousted from the company I founded 13 years ago, mere days after the story. But as this was happening, I was talking to one of these people and she was a little reluctant to go public. Rightfully so, she was scared.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>O&#8217;Keefe claimed that he had been able to re-connect with Bernal since the events with his business. However, he also said that she had also been targeted. Bernal, he said, was responsible for the Pfizer scandal. &#8220;was brought into a room, interrogated, who had a red van go to her home, harass her and her loved ones, who was scared for her life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bernal said the events at Project Veritas inspired him to share his experience at CPAC with Bernal.<\/p>\n<p>Bernal, upon arriving on stage, admitted that he was &#8220;a little reluctant to come at first,&#8221; She was. &#8220;scared for my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/localimages\/twitter-minimal.jpg6403a291d34de.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesOKeefeIII?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JamesOKeefeIII<\/a> A new whistleblower is invited to join the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Debbie was a former Pfizer employee whose faith in the Lord inspired her to stand up for what she believed. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eFp1osL7zd\">pic.twitter.com\/eFp1osL7zd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CPAC (@CPAC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CPAC\/status\/1632036816260853761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 4, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" async data-cmplz-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;I was worried that I would end up in a body bag, or in a car accident.

People get lied to, people get gaslit, it made me angry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Her explanation continued, explaining that O&#8217;Keefe was the reason she felt the need to make her public. She is grateful for all who have listened.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;I think we all need to learn to not be fearful. Fear is how the enemy controls us. The reason why our country is going the way it&#8217;s going is because of fear. People are willing to give up their freedom and their liberty to feel safe. We can&#8217;t do that. Freedom is not free,&#8221; Elle continued. &#8220;I just want to tell all the people here in this room who are employed, if you guys work for big tech, media, a government agency, it&#8217;s your responsibility to stand up. Do not let these people keep getting away with this. If you don&#8217;t say something, they&#8217;re gonna keep doing it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>O&#8217;Keefe gave a speech in which he described his investigations into Pfizer.
