Fact Check: USA Today, A Politically Centered Media Source
Our ruling: False

We rate this claim FALSE because it is not supported by our research. While there are past ties between the Pirbright Institute and the Gates Foundation, neither organization holds a patent for the novel coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pirbright Institute is a partner in clinical trials on potential vaccines for the coronavirus, but any patent for a vaccine would be months away at this point. Neither Bill Gates nor the Gates Foundation is involved in patenting any potential vaccine, and thus do not stand to profit from it.
