The Global mRNA Patent Frenzy

 

The Global mRNA Patent Frenzy



Massive Multinational Investment in mRNA Technology Signifies Global Impetus to Find Viable Applications


By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

I hear from time to time that someone claims to have “invented mRNA” so I found this paper by Li et al interesting. The authors used a series of search terms related to “mRNA vaccine” to search the titles, abstracts, and claims in the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) for patents with a publication date prior to December 31, 2021.


A total of 9,613 patent documents were collected to carry out the statistical analysis. Expired or lapsed patents from failure to pay patent maintenance fees were found to account for 13.49% of invalid patents and 6.04% of all patents. Over a period of 60 years, mRNA vaccine patent publication exhibited a rising trend as a whole: it entered a take–off stage in 1994, increasing from 15 patents filed in 1994 to 892 filings in 2021 (Figure 1a). Notably, a substantial increase was present since 2019.


Li M, Ren J, Si X, Sun Z, Wang P, Zhang X, Liu K, Wei B. The global mRNA vaccine patent landscape. Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2022 Nov 30;18(6):2095837. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2022.2095837. Epub 2022 Jul 7. PMID: 35797353; PMCID: PMC9746484.

The United States played an important role engaging in collaborative studies with 85% of countries working with mRNA. In fact, the United States HHS ranked 6th in the world as an mRNA patent assignee.

Startups BioNTech in 2008 and Moderna in 2010 also accelerated the development of the industry. In 2012, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) commenced funding industry research into mRNA vaccines. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries are now competing to develop mRNA vaccines.


The most frequently cited patient in the field is EP1083232 by Jung et al assigned to Curevac SE. This is followed by patients US20080025944, US20050250723, US20050059624 US20080171711 by Hoerr et al, assigned to Cure Vac GmbH, Curevac SE. With so many patents and countries, thousands of investigators and labs can say they contributed to the development of this technology.


In summary, no single person can claim he or she “invented mRNA.” A more reasonable conclusion is that mRNA is big business for the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex which is heavily driven by the US government. The COVID-19 vaccine debacle as thrown a wrench into the mRNA aspirations of the Complex. It will be interesting to see their next move since both safety and efficacy failed miserably with mRNA commercialized by Pfizer and Moderna.

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum BY  ROGER KOOPS      FEBRUARY 20, 2022 I t has been obvious since early 2020 that there has been an organized cult outreach that has permeated the world as a whole. It’s possible that this formed out of a gigantic error, rooted in a sudden ignorance of cell biology and long experience of public health. It is also possible that a seasonal respiratory virus was deployed by some people as an opportunity to seize power for some other purpose.  Follow the money and influence trails and the latter conclusion is hard to dismiss.  The clues were there early. Even before the WHO declared a pandemic in March 2020 (at least several months behind the actual fact of a pandemic) and before any lockdowns, there were media blitzes talking about the “New Normal” and talk of the “Great Reset” (which was rebranded as “Build Back Better”).  Pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and Astra-Zene...

What the Media Is HIDING About Ukraine/Russia

Thanks to CoCoLuv9491 for recommending this video... What the Media Is HIDING About Ukraine/Russia While the mainstream US media chant with one voice for war and to place full responsibility for the Ukraine crisis on Russia, a cursory investigation of NATO’s meddling in Ukraine’s affairs for more than a decade reveals how economic interests of weapons manufacturers and the fossil fuel industry have led to the military conflict we’re experiencing today. Jimmy and The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté ( https://mate.substack.com ) discuss western and NATO complicity in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Source: The Jimmy Dore Show

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia by   Maximilian C. Forte "Two weeks to flatten the curve,” is what we heard across Canada 1  just after March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization unilaterally declared a global “pandemic” according to new criteria developed in 2009 that emphasized transmissibility over lethality. 2  We are now approaching two years of a crisis that is routinely and deceptively blamed on “Covid”. Politicians, public health officials, and the mass media have made persistent pronouncements that tended towards the inflation of grim numbers and the exaggeration of threats. 3 The State of Emergency and its Consequences Building on expanded threat perception, authorities have deliberately promoted fear, induced panic, and created stress. 4  With the public suffering an epidemic of fear bordering on mass psychosis, 5  states have multiplied and escalated the number and types of restrictions, few of which have the supp...
