But the story is much bigger than a UNC patent, since it also included an NIH patent

Let me repeat, Dr Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina patented the SARS-CoV-2 genome in 2018!
No, the Chinese did not copy or steal Baric’s ‘obscure’ methods. Yes, we all know the about the ‘other’ patents in SARS2; like Moderna, CGG-CGG, David E. Martin, and immune evasion. This was a Baric patent for the individual genome now called SARS-CoV-2.
Mother nature has never seen SARS2, so Baric claimed a lab origin would only be “within the records of the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” but SARS2 was in the records of a US Government patent office.
