I have on idea how this story relates to the patents directly or indirectly, but educated ppl in the medical world are not so fond of Gates. My understanding, on a high level is that the "vaccine derived polio[1][2]" was created by Bill & Melinda Gates institute[3]. The high level narrative is that some inhabitants did not want to be vaccinated, so the team of scientist and Gates thought along the linens "what do these stupid Africans known about anything?" and created a vaccine that spreads unbeknownst to the subject. So effectively their made the choice for the Africans in Chad (now spreads in Cameron). The result was the opposite: instead of vaccinate everyone by "spreading the vaccine" the created a different strain of polio. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I guess. The dangerous part IMO is when ppl think they're so "smart" they "know better".
