Why does the CDC (U.S. Health Agency) have a PATENT on the EBOLA VIRUS...:wtf:

[Soundbwoy]

time to invest into pharma companies working on that Ebola vaccine

You can’t patent a disease condition per se, such as cancer or influenza," says Schwartz. "But if you’re talking about patenting a lifeform like a bacteria or virus, if altered by man, the answer there is yes."

Intellectual property concerns
A patent is a form of intellectual property that allows the patent holder to control the use of a product or method of doing something. That control includes the ability to charge royalties for its use.

Schwartz says that obtaining a patent on a simple mechanical invention, such as a Christmas tree stand, in a single country might cost about $10,000. But getting a patent on a more complex technology - such as one involving chemical synthesis - that also covers multiple countries can run $200,000 or more.

While patent law differs somewhat from country to country, in the area of microorganisms most nations agree on general principles, says Schwartz.

You can’t patent something that is naturally occurring, he says, but if an organism is modified in some way, it is patentable.

One of the most famous cases of biological patenting is the so-called "Harvard mouse," a type of laboratory mouse genetically modified by scientists at Harvard University to carry an "oncogene," which makes the animal susceptible to cancer. It was patented in the United States, though not in Canada.



"Ninety-nine point nine per cent of the mouse is God’s creation, but in its totality, as you would claim it as the subject for a patent, it’s a non-naturally occurring, man-made thing," says Schwartz.

In the case of a gene, modifying its information or removing it from its chromosome typically would be enough to warrant a patent, says Schwartz, because the snippet of chromosome would not appear in nature by itself.

This is a key point in the case of the novel coronavirus. To pinpoint it, Erasmus likely used what is called "deep sequencing," says Earl Brown, executive director of the Emerging Pathogens Research Centre at the University of Ottawa.

In this process, the infected sample would be run against databases of known genes and viruses to determine its genetic composition. Brown says the researchers would then typically remove the sequence from its chromosome and copy it in order to conduct further tests.

The rationale for patenting a genetic sequence such as the novel coronavirus is to be able to develop products, such as diagnostic tests or a vaccine, that could be marketed and sold, says Bernard dikkens, professor emeritus of Health Law and Policy at the University of Toronto.

"Profit is what underlies the whole patent system," he says.

Pretty obvious some Rainbow Six/Executive Orders type shyt is going. Rogue scientists within the CDC ,under the guise of innocuous research, are actually building a souped-up mega-virus the likes of which we've never seen.

In both cases they killed a shyt ton of people in those books with modified strains of the ebola virus

Didn't they just do a massive bio attack simulation in NY about what would happen if a widespread transferable disease got out? Emory U in the ATL has them right? Over 60% of flights go through the ATL? All they need is the flu strain from the early 1900s and it's a wrap. Ebola, polio, influenza and one or two more and the next two years are going to be a tragedy.

When the buildings and global financial system get crushed you will know it was prepared in advance.

not surprised

I disagree he's just asking questions no harm in that

No worse, you die within 24 hours

Why was I tagged in this thread? Thanks to everyone else educating. I'm done with it. Got called all sorts of cac and c00n in that other thread when I was just trying to educate people on what was fact and what is sensational nonsense.

 

[JasonSJackson]

heres a better question...

why have at least 1800 Africans been allowed to die from this virus and its not until 3 Europeans contract it that this "secret serum" is revealed?

They have been sitting on the cure while all these people have been dying

It's not a cure, and only one vial was available. Only one of the doctors got it at first. It's experimental and probably expensive and difficult to synthesize/manufacture. No word on its effectiveness yet. It cleared up many symptoms but there have been no human trials...could fukk up your liver, give you other complications, the virus could regain strength, etc etc. If it works they will ship it to Africa to help, but it's not a magic pill.

Are we all gone die?

Are we all gone die?

Heres the thing...If thr shyt happened to me while I was over there....I would want to get flown back to the states...but at the same time they trying to say ebola has never been in the states...now I think thats a damn lie...the govt prolly has ever disease in a room somewhere

 

[I'm Billy FUCO!!]

nikkas really think 'the man' is gonna invent a virus, spread it to the public, and make sure it's patented so everyone knows who 'made' it

hahaha.

 

[Cat piss martini]

our government got the cure and weaponized
versions of the must fukked up diseases known to
man locked up in labs.........waiting.
