The US taxpayer has already paid for this by funding the CDC with taxpayer money. Since 2003, the CDC has owned the patents to coronaviruses… the disease, the virus, detection, and measurement. They have to give permission to you (a company) to study it, to come up with a cure, a vaccine, etc, and they approve every step you take because they control the proprietary rights to their patents. This is all illegal because it is illegal to patent anything occurring in nature, and also to patent biological weapons. The CDC (aka Fauci) is to blame for this mess.
