if there is an actual conspiracy going on with the virus in order to control the world population or something similar.
Why in the world would the people behind it need to get a patent for it?
For example, if I invented a mass destruction machine and I intended to use it, I don't think I would like to catch the attention of the public by applying for a patent.
If you happen to look at the public a little, they got trapped by a big Covid lie. The public believed the lie. The public didn't check it out. The public is still believing the lie after millions have gotten sick and many of them died... and with all kinds of doctors and researchers showing them the lie.
Nobody cares about a patent, certainly not the sheeple public. But if some do, what are they going to do about it? So, why not use patenting to protect your big corporation from other big corporations. Or why not patent the thing, and then license the rights to use it to all the big corporations?
