Coronavirus, as a pathogen model, was identified in 1965 and seen as modifiable for various purposes. In 1966, it was used in a transatlantic biological experiment. By 1967, human trials began, inoculating people with modified versions.
The common cold was turned into a chimera in the 1970s. By 1990, coronavirus was an industrial problem for dog and pig breeders, leading to Pfizer's first spike protein vaccine patent. However, from 1990 to 2018, research indicated coronavirus mutated too quickly for vaccines to be effective.
In 2002, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill patented an "infectious replication defective" clone of coronavirus, funded by NIAID's Anthony Fauci, preceding SARS 1.0. SARS is engineered, not naturally occurring like the common cold.
