You say "It takes some time to dig through the patent office and find the 2470 amino acid sequences they stuffed into the patent" but then in the next para you say "What on earth are they doing with 2470 genes in a corona virus?"
It's obviously a typo. Kevin's brain goes at a million miles an hour and he stated it correctly above, and is probably thinking ahead to snapgene and it just came out. I do it all the time when I don't slow my brain down...
Wait. Is it possible that Pfizer reused someone else's patented DNA?

Did you mix up genes and amino acids?
2470 Open Reading frames which in viruses are often analogous to genes…
But not the case in this Patent filing as they just did an in silico 6 way translation and filed on even 4 amino acid ORFs.
