Was this 2015 patent the birth of covid and the vaccine?
The interesting world of patents
A lot has been said in many posts about patents on products. Big pharma “patents” their drugs to make huge profits before meds go “off patent” and can be sold for pennies on the dollar with no big pharma monopoly on the patent. But I think we need to explore WHAT can and cannot be patented.
First. ANYTHING occurring naturally in nature cannot be patented. So influenza A in nature cannot be patented. Rhinoviruses, Adenoviruses, herpes viruses, etc cannot be patented. They are naturally occurring viruses in nature. So, what happens if someone takes a natural virus and “modifies” it with another natural virus/organism? Well, that would be doing something called creating a chimera, or an organism that has cells from two different naturally occurring things. THAT is illegal, and you cannot get a patent for a chimera. Cause illegal. It is a no-no.
So what is gain of function then? If someone took a bat corona virus, and inserted ANOTHER natural virus into it to make it capable of zoonotic jump to another species (humans), wouldn’t that be a chimera? Yes. Yes it would. You could not patent that and its illegal. So how do you accomplish this gain of function legally?
Well.
You take a naturally occurring virus, like, oh say, a bat corona virus. And then you take a genetic sequence from something else. BUT you TWEAK it! You make it genetically DIFFERENT, yet the same. Which makes it NOT a chimera, and a newly manufactured “thing”. It then becomes a patent protected “thing” you created because it is no longer the joining of two organic natural separate objects, its the joining of a natural thing with a “genetically engineered modified” thing that is 99% similar to the naturally occurring thing, but its no longer in its natural state. Many suspect (know actually, remember there is a patent for the genetic sequence ) this is what Moderna did with their protein strand they patented back in 2017, then inserted it into a naturally occurring virus which makes that new creation “patent-able” and skirts the laws of “can’t patent natural things and can’t patent a chimera”.
The US Patent system is not an easy one to navigate. I requested the assistance from an amazing intelligent human to help me dig into the patents out in the great abyss. And boy did they dig up a doozy. This one is particularly interesting.
Part ONE of the patent:
July 2015. Pirbright Institute. Great Britain. “This invention provides a live, attenuated coronavirus comprising a variant replicase gene encoding polyproteins comprising a mutation in one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or nsp-16. The coronavirus may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease, such as infectious bronchitis, in a subject.” A method for making the coronavirus transfecting a plasmid into a host cell, infecting the host cell with a recombinant virus made by combining the genome of a coronavirus strain with a replicase gene (natural virus with a new genetic sequence inserted in it); allowing homologous (the same genes arranged in the same order), allowing recombination to occur between the replicase gene sequences in the plasmid and the corresponding sequences in the virus genome to produce a modified replicase gene, and finally isolating out the newly recombined virus that now includes the modified replicase gene in the virus.
What..the…heck………
Part TWO of the patent:
The method wherein the recombined virus can become is a vaccinia virus (the newly created virus can now be made into a vaccine).
The recovered recombined virus can then be used to create a vaccine comprising a coronavirus with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. (Moderna, bat virus, their patented DNA sequence, that genetic sequence that also happens to be in the Moderna vaccine).
A method for treating and/or preventing a disease in a subject which comprises the step of administering a vaccine to the subject. (Was this ever about the virus? Or was this all about creating a virus to MAKE a VACCINE?)
The method of vaccine administration is selected from the administration options consisting of: eye drop administration, intranasal administration, drinking water administration, or injection grown in ovo (grown in eggs, just like flu vaccines are). This point is interesting because it is not grown in eggs, it became mRNA vaccine instead. I suspect this is because the mRNA technology had not been perfected yet in 2015. Egg grown was the back up plan.
Now, why would this type of lab studying have been going on with a Coronavirus back in 2015?? Why would a naturally occurring virus be mutated in a way that allows it to be patented? (Moderna did exactly this, 1-2 years after THIS patent was introduced). A virus manipulation with a patent discussion about not only the virus manipulation but also the creation of a vaccine for it, and methods of administrating that vaccine? Intranasal administration?? What else goes up our nose related to covid? PCR and rapid tests? Drinking water administration?? Is this patent the bedrock of where covid and covid vaccines all began???
The creator of this patent is a company named Pirbright Institute in Great Britain. Their goal? Preventing and controlling viral diseases. The same company that made news on April 14th for partnering up with Canada to “create a global commitment to increase the capacity for vaccine innovation and pandemic preparedness throughout the world”. It wants to focus on rapid responses to infectious diseases, in humans and animals, via rapid vaccine development. The Canadian company it partnered with is named VIDO, who, ironically, states they were the FIRST CANADIAN ORGANIZATION TO ISOLATE SARS COV 2, the first to study the disease in animal models, and the first university in Canada to have a vaccine in clinical trials. Oh, and they are also the operator of the largest HIGH COrNTAINMENT FACILITY in Canada, as well as a vaccine production facility fo “new innovative vaccines”. Well hells bells. That does not sound suspect AT ALL. 🧐 https://www.pirbright.ac.uk/news/2022/04/pirbright-continues-grow-international-collaborations-fight-and-prevent-infectious
Have we ever created a vaccine for any other coronavirus? No. Why did they use a bat corona virus? Probably easy to genetically manipulate. Also easy story to spread that it originated in a China wet market from a bat. This patent is beyond interesting, and I hypothesize it was the root of the current covid virus we see today. If it has a patent, it isn’t a chimera or a naturally occurring virus. It is a genetically modified virus. A virus that was designed to create a vaccine for it. And the methods of administrating the vaccine are absolutely terrifying. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
