Robert Strong desperately has been attempting to reach reporters of both local and national media outlets because of a discovery he and colleague Richard Pollack made close to a year ago.
Strong and Pollack co-host a radio program called Radio Science News each Saturday morning from 11 a.m.-Noon, and on April 11, 2020, it was Richard who brought up a research report out of Pittsburgh that indicated a vaccine to clash with Covid-19 could be delivered not by vial and needle, but by a microneedle vaccine patch no larger than a fingertip.
Then men were astounded, and Strong immediately believed once proven effective, such a delivery system could save millions of lives across the world. Not a single media member responded, though. Not the liberal ones; not the conservative ones; and zero was heard from the local newspapers after Strong dispatched the following correspondence.
It is Christmas Eve and all through the land, COVID-19 vaccines are being jabbed into essential First Responders – but, alas not for us.
Vaccine Patch?
What if I told you that since April 11, 2020, Richard Pollack and I have been reporting on our Saturday morning radio program www.radiosciencenews.org that there is a better way to Package and Deliver the COVID-19 Vaccine?
- No need for vials
- No need for syringes
- No need for needles … therefore for people like me with a needle-phobia – far easier to take
- No need for Deep Cold storage … so the doses can be actually mailed in padded envelopes to Americans and eventually all countries in the world
- No need for trained medical personnel to administer each COVID-19 vaccine dose … so no lines and no appointments
With the added advantage that each present vial for vaccine may hold 5 to 6 doses, there is another way of dosing the public that magnifies the dosage effectiveness tenfold for between 50 and 60 doses!
That would make a great story – right? Because it sounds too good to be true.
It gets better; there were, it seems, some people in the COVID-19 Response team wanting to back this idea who were “let go.” So, we have the present COVID-19 vaccine response with 10x fewer doses and supply chain problems for vials, needles, syringes, and trained folks to deliver each dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. In the meantime more than 3,000 American lives are lost each day while they wait in lines months long for their turn at the COVID-19 vaccine.
This sounds like a science fiction movie plot, but it is real. Go to the www.radiosciencenews.org and search for “PittCo” (April 11, 18, May 2) to get started. As I said, Richard and I started this eight months ago and never realized that the ideas would not be utilized when the vaccines became approved and ready to be delivered.
Not a Peep
Despite the clever, informative, and intriguing email, Strong and Pollack heard only a silence that was puzzling. Not only could the vaccine patch be delivered with a single application instead of a double-dose process, but the gentleman also believed such a method could have been distributed by the U.S. Postal Service to each American very quickly.
Instead, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been slowly distributed since mid-December in most states and, according to the Covid-19 Information page on the state Department of Health and Human Resources’s website, only 49.5 percent of Mountain State residents have received at least their first dose.
In Ohio County, 57.8 percent have been vaccinated, and 44.4 percent of Marshall County residents have been inoculated at least once.
“The vaccine patch would have been the most logical, elegant, cost-effective way to save millions of lives, and that’s not what was chosen in the greatest county in the world. We couldn’t believe it,” Strong recalled. “That’s when I started trying to find somebody out there who would listen to the research, and I got nothing back from anyone. I sent things to CNN and CBS and to ABC and to Fox News, too.
“In December, I even sent the information to people at the local newspapers, and I thought it would be a big story for them, but I heard nothing back,” he said. “I told them that if they did it right, it would be big. That’s why I told them that it was a gift because all I wanted was for the research to be common knowledge. And I haven’t seen anything about it on the local or national news, and that’s puzzled me.”
