- So there are a lot of
conspiracy theories online
about Bill Gates owning some patent
that has to do with the coronavirus
that's causing this big pandemic.
So I thought I would
look into it a little bit
because it sounds pretty fun.
(chuckling)
Anyway.
But how would you even search on a patent
for the coronavirus?
I mean, that's very complicated.
All the different, is it COVID or corona?
I don't now exactly what you'd search on.
I don't even know if that exists.
It sounds like real
conspiracy theory stuff.
Okay.
I guess there is a patent.
But the reason why I didn't find it
is the search terms.
I don't even know what
COVID really stands for
and how you would cut it down.
It's actually just named the coronavirus.
Are you kidding me?
It's just, okay.
All right, in my defense,
I thought it was two words.
(chuckling)
Corona virus, and I wasn't
initially finding it.
And weirdly, I've been having tons
of ads pop up for beer
since I've been doing
all this corona research
but coronavirus, one word.
So this is the patent, you
can see it's actually owned
by The Pirbright Institute.
And they are a research organization out
of Surrey, England.
And apparently the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation,
they actually have donated, I think,
this has two different grants
that I found listed.
Again, hey, I didn't go over there
and try to confirm this.
This is just what I've read online.
But what billionaire,
once they become a billionaire
tries to make more money?
I mean, that doesn't happen, right?
But just finding a patent
with Pirbright Institute as the assignee
doesn't necessarily make this connection.
I did a quick search in
the US Patent database,
and there are 76 patents
that list coronavirus
in the title somewhere.
And that's coronavirus, one word.
Okay, not two words.
And that's 76.
So there are a lot of other patents
besides just that Pirbright Institute one
that people are citing.
But weirdly enough,
there are actually two patents
that were listed as being owned
by the U.S. Government
Center for Disease Control.
The U.S. CDC.
Now, that seemed a little,
it just caught my eye.
Maybe that's normal.
It might be abnormal, I don't know.
And just to see what I could find,
I actually went to the
Chinese patent office.
I did find 17 patents that
had coronavirus somewhere
in the title.
So US had 76,
China, they had 17.
If it's a numbers game,
we might be winning, okay?
Somebody sent me this one patent
that's supposed to be for
a novel type of coronavirus
that is a Chinese patent or publication,
and as you look through it,
do you notice anything about this?
Yeah, it's in Chinese.
It seems like they might be
trying to hide something, right?
Because I can't read this,
I don't know what it says.
If you were trying to hide something,
I don't know, you'd try to try to hide it
in plain sight
using a language that people can't read.
(sighing)
Okay, I don't know what my point is.
My point is is that
there's a lot of patents
with coronavirus in them somewhere.
Oh my gosh, I just think
this is gonna be stupid.
Is this video gonna be so dumb?
Should I just quit right now?
I don't even know if people give a crap.
