And here's another quick google search of the quacks and grifters node the load posts links to

Trump and Giuliani and others were trying to grift off the quack cures going back to March 2020

just horrible evil stupid people, taking advantage of a catastrophe to attempt to line their pockets

Zelenko is also a rabid fan of Donald Trump whom he probably worships more than Hashem. By bowing to his new God, Vovka achieved a bizarre status of a chloroquine prophet. His March announcement (2020) was addressed to Trump, and right on cue Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani started to advertise for Zelenko on social media. Trump himself referred to Zelenko when publicly announcing to be preventively taking HCQ (but later on, when Trump did catch COVID-19 eventually, no hydroxychloroquine was deployed to treat the president).

Here is the first edition of the Skeptical Scalpel Awards. Written by Physician’s Weekly blogger, Skeptical Scalpe

Right. All you got, personal attacks. AFAIK, Zelenko is dying of cancer, and has given up his in-person practice for a telepractice, which many doctors find more appropriate for treating Coronavirus.

Instead of the ad hominem attack, how about you simply read the paper:

COVID-19 outpatients: early risk-stratified treatment with zinc plus low-dose hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin: a retrospective case series study | Elsevier Enhanced Reader

This, of course, is one of hundreds.

It is a fact, of course, than Ivermectin has been shown to be highly effective as well, and the debate over which is better isn't important, since if you get the virus, you can simply take both (total cost, $30) -- they're entirely harmless.
So, you come here with personal attacks, I come with data. You are incapable, I suppose, of reading the article.

Not surprising. At least he backed off his claims of 100% cure rate. A cure rate that i-node found credible.
