No, he didn't John. Frank had a microsopic role in the covid tests, meaning he likely walked a patent application to the mail room.
"He then took a hard right turn and earned a Ph.D. in bacterial genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After that, he combined his writing skills and scientific knowledge into a career as a patent agent (if you invent a new cure for cancer, he can help you get a patent on it!). He even had
a tiny role in developing COVID-19 tests and vaccines."
