U.S. has held the patent for Ebola since 2010.
I heard that on the radio last night and looked it up this morning.
Clever. The sheeple will never see it coming.
Genome patents are routinely issued to the organization who first sequences it and files.
The ebola strain that usgov holds the patent to is an obscure one with very low mortality.
Fedgov has lots of other genome sequences patented as well. Simply because the genome was sequenced in a fedgov lab.
If they were being evil with this patent, do you think they’d have filed a patent?
How many weaponized strains do you think they bothered to file a patent on?
