Good lord, lol. That easy to start conspiracies?

"Don't fall into the hype, people with good immune systems got nothing to worry about." lol.

Is your money on Moderna or Inovio to have the first vaccine? We will find out next year.
(I think South Korea or Germany will get it first though.)

The chromosomal sequence (DNA) was patented.

Luckily, a higher court overturned the patent and that is what allowed for 23 and me to offer it for a fraction of the price the patent holder was doing it for (thousands).

The DNA patent was overturned for many reasons. But I think a virus would be in line with that.

However, the vaccine can be patented.

You can't patent living things or viruses. If i recall correctly. Technically viruses aren't alive. They're literally like , zombies

But i didn't watch the video cuz it smells like bee-s fake stuff
Correct, a virus is just a protein molecule that affects healthy cells in a detrimental manner. Can't be patented. Technically, a PROCESS is the only thing that can really be patented, unless some kind of inert ingredient is added to something nearing the end of its patent life, it will become generic.

No, the PROCESS for DECODING the chromosomal sequence is what that company wanted to patent.
