Here is a quote straight out from Moderna's patent:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) emerged in China in 2002 and spread to other countries before brought under control. Because of a concern for reemergence or a deliberate release of the SARS coronavirus, vaccine development was initiated.
- cshimmin 5y agoCool, I did not know that! What/when is this patent?
