This isn't new news, Dr David Martin has been saying this for months. He's a patent specialist who specializes in biological patent records. Look at page 19.

Pseudovirus is a virus replicated in a lab that does not contain the wild caught virus virulence. They cannot isolate a virus they replicate them in a lab (make identical copies) using "eye of newt" procedures, a pseudovirus is constructed the same it's just lacks it's bite....so to speak.
Thank you for the link @sunlit7, but it refers to completely different topic and the criminal Fauci. This is news because it refers to a study published on February 21st this year (so, a few days fresh) and to Moderna criminals.
The referenced names used in the article to the US patent is the same name mentioned in the US patent.
Bancel was the one who sent an email asking for the sequence to the virus.
A patent application number isn't the same as the patent number. I think what has happened here is that this country isolated the sequence than ran a data base search for any patents on that sequence, hence the 2016 patent. Martin listed the patent application number not the actual patent assigned number and that's where the confusion rises. Martin knew about it because he specializes in biological patents. Another country on the other hand wouldn't necessarily know that a patent existed until they ran it through a data base or had been up on Martins work in all this. The only way they could run it through a data base to see if it had been patented would have been to find the sequence, which they did.
