A Long List of Patents Owned by ACIP and Other CDC Members The following is a partial list of some of the patents that are owned or shared by members of the CDC and/or ACIP committee, including Dr. Paul Offit: "Nucleic acid vaccines for prevention of flavivirus infection" - This patent comes into play during the manufacturing process of vaccines for yellow fever, Zika, Dengue, West Nile virus and more. Various vaccination testing methods - When pharmaceutical companies need to test aspects of a new vaccine, they may utilize one of the CDC's patented testing methods including an artificial lung system for aerosol vaccines and a process that screens new vaccines for human rhinoviruses. Adjuvant patents - Adjuvants are components within vaccinations intended to create an intensified immune reaction; members of the ACIP own patents on adjuvants used specifically in vaccinations created for premature babies and full term newborns.
Assays that assist vaccine development - During the vaccine development process, manufacturers will often observe biological samples for specific antibodies; the CDC owns a patent on an assay that facilitates this monitoring system. Vaccine quality control - patents on various aspects of quality control for vaccinations are utilized by pharmaceutical companies on a large scale once a new vaccine is actively distributed to the public.
In total, 56 individual patents were found to be owned or shared by one or more members of the ACIP committee or other committees within the CDC.
Members Claim They are Unbiased When prompted with questions pertaining to their financial connections with pharmaceutical companies, most ACIP members claim they are able to remain unbiased despite the rewards they receive every time a new vaccination is recommended to the public. In numerous instances, vaccines released to the market are later removed after serious side effects are documented. The rotavirus vaccine was one such example; it was pulled from the market in 1999, a year after its initial approval.
In 2001, the House Government Reform Committee found that four out of the eight ACIP members who voted to approve the vaccine had direct financial ties to one or more of the pharmaceutical companies who produced the vaccine for public use. Similar situations involving many other vaccinations have been independently documented over the course of nearly 20 years.
I’m just spitballing it here.

This is really shocking—the fact that the Center for Disease Control is staffed by people who are smart enough to invent methods for controlling diseases. What’s next, airlines run by people who know how to fly airplanes? Somebody needs to do something about this alarming level of competence. Maybe we should fire anyone with a PhD and replace them all with plumbers, truck drivers, and English majors. I’m just spitballing it here. a reply to: Realtruth

I think there should be a law against that. I would bet the research to create the evidence for the patents was paid for by our tax dollars, the USA should hold the patents.

Just setting this down for a minute...
Some people have questioned my concern over both the CDC and John Hopkins University is a PRIVATE organization where the CDC accepts private funding – NOT ONLY GOVERNMENT! The CDC is quasi-government under the Department of Health and Human Services which strangely has sources of funding that are predicated on the fact that it also has a private 501(c)(3) public charity, like the Clinton Foundation.

That sounds like... Socialism.
People should be able to profit from their inventions
