EBOLA

Why the United States government has a patent about the Ebola virus?

CDC United States owns a patent on a strain of Ebola called EboBun. It is not the same variant that currently has caused the outbreak in West Africa. Starting from the description of the patent over the EboBun virus, we know that the United States government:

• Extracts the virus from patients.  
• He claims to be the inventor of that virus.

•  He seeks a monopoly of patent protection about the virus.

The patent also vindicates that the United States government claims the "ownership" of all the Ebola virus.

In fact, this patent helps explain why some Ebola victims are being transported to the United States. These patients they bear in their body valuable intellectual property assets in the form of variants of Ebola and the CDC wants to expand its portfolio of patents by collecting blood samples, to study and patent new strains of virus.

Make no mistake. In this case there are millions of dollars in profits at stake.

What we are seeing is a medical drama with a carefully written script. A global panic, a patent from the government, imports of Ebola virus to a major American city, an experimental vaccine, the sudden appearance of a little-known pharmaceutical company and a protest against the FDA (Food and Drug Administration USA) to accelerate the creation of a vaccine.

Imagine how it could be the second act of this play.

A "lab accident" in the USA, the Ebola leak affecting the population and a national campaign for mandatory vaccination against Ebola that enriches Tekmira and its investors, placing the CDC, with its patent virus as "saviors the American people "...
