This would be analougous - and every bit as phucktarded - as saying the patent for the combustion engine "weaponizes" the automobile.

Read the patent. And if you can't understand it, maybe ask a friend or family member that works in the biotech or medicine industry to explain it to you. Of course, to do this, you will first likely have to expand your circle of friends beyond Gloptardia, but this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Of course, any altered genome within a viral organism can have consequences that are not exaclty optimal (read: potentially catastrophic), but to suggest this patent is 'proof' of an effort - by the CDC nonetheless - to 'weaponize' the Ebola virus is byeond absurd... it is, ironically, pantently incorrect.

Do you really think the dark side of DARPA worries about the timely filing of publicly-accessible patents? Lol...

I would be more concerned about Big Pharma and a proto-corporatized push of a new, unproven, weak-sauce 'vaccine' upon a willing populace.
