China’s Wuhan Institute Files to Patent the Use of Gilead’s Remdesivir for Coronavirus

The Wuhan Institute of Virology, part of the China Academy of Sciences, has applied to patent the use of Gilead Sciences’ remdesivir to treat the current coronavirus outbreak.

The company has partnered with Chinese health authorities to run a Phase III clinical trial to assess remdesivir for treatment of the virus. The drug was originally developed to treat the Ebola virus, but wasn’t effective. Preclinical assays have suggested that the drug might be effective against the coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, as was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The drug was given to a U.S. patient for compassionate use on day seven of the disease and their condition improved on day eight.

The new clinical trial will be conducted at Friendship Hospital in Beijing, China.

Regarding this new "treatment" that #Fauci is promoting - Seems China patented it in January 2020. How convenient. https://t.co/yEldCwWib7— Millions for Truth (@Millions4Trump2) April 29, 2020

many of these are dual use patents.

half for the weaponized (i.e. "novel") virus
and half for the vaccine.

enuf.

there is only 1 decision:
they will do this year after year.

In a different world Fauci would be under investigation for conflicts of interest.

I thought communists didn't understand the idea of creating a desire to kick start a new market.

Send out a lethal virus, while you have a "drug relief solution" in you back pocket.

These chi-coms have the biggest balls in the world {for such tiny _______}.

What I wish the President would do: walk to the podium, read off all the crap Fauci has pulled, but not say the name. Then announce Fauci is fired AND arrested.

Fauci caused this WHOLE thing almost singlehandedly.

I’m sure Gilead has also filed for a patent.

““Even if the Wuhan Institute’s application gets authorized, the role is very limited because Gilead still owns the fundamental patent of the drug,” said Zhao Youbin, a Shanghai-based intellectual property attorney at Purplevine IP Service Co. “Any exploitation of the patent must seek approval from Gilead.”

The NIH, CDC and other government health agencies should not be allowed to accept any corporate donations/money.

Its illegal lobbying and conflict of interest.

Some people need to go to jail, and all assets of the Chinese need to be seized.

China don’t need no approval. They steal everything.
