Dr. Zelenko Under Surveillance: Hasidic doctor touting controversial drug has emails examined by Justice Dept. prosecutors
The Forward ^ | 05/01/2020 | Ari Feldman

Posted on 05/01/2020 8:31:40 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Federal prosecutors are examining emails between Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko — a Hasidic doctor touting the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19 — and a right-wing political commentator, the Washington Post reported.

Zelenko is currently collaborating with Jerome Corsi, a commentator best known for propagating the falsehood that President Barack Obama was born outside the U.S., on a website that connects people with doctors. Zelenko is listed as a “medical adviser” on the site.

Zelenko has become a frequent presence on conservative media, from Fox News to Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s podcast (the two speak almost daily, according to Giuliani) to Corsi’s own podcast. According to the Post, he has been in contact with Rep. Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, about the results he claims to have obtained from treating hundreds of patients at his family practice in upstate New York with hydroxychloroquine. Zelenko claims that his treatment regiment — which also includes an antibiotic and a zinc supplement — has resulted in almost no hospitalizations among his outpatient clients. However his claims have not been independently verified by medical officials.

The examination of the emails began after Corsi accidentally emailed Aaron Zelinsky instead of Zelenko. Zelinsky was a member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, and spent months probing Corsi’s discussions with former Trump operative Roger Stone about Wikileaks. (Corsi was not charged with a crime; Stone was sentenced in February to three years in prison on several felony counts.)

Through the beginning of April, Trump touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential “gift from God” in treating Covid-19. Yet recent studies have suggested that the drug provides no benefit in treating advanced cases of the disease, and in some studies is associated with higher risk of death than other treatments.

Zelenko has remained confident in his treatment regimen, and says he is preparing a peer-reviewed study based on his outpatient use of the drug with over 1,000 people. Zelenko’s patients are predominantly Hasidic Jews who live in and around Kiryas Joel, N.Y.

RE: Under surveillance for what crime exactly?

Any possible crime. If there’s no crime, we will try to find one. They did it to Gen. Flynn, they can do it to anyone.

“Hmmm. Might he be Jewish?”

Are you serious? It’s not religious persecution.

“Corrupt prosecutors should be tried and hung if found guilty. Putting innocent people in prison is as bad as murder.”

Your comment here touches on some legitimate major themes emanating from the current state of the DOJ.

The jury is not out and there’s no way that they can deny this is 80-year-old medicine that has been used on millions of patience for lupus and malaria

All we’re seeing is the media is typical bull crap which is whatever Trump says we’re going to say the opposite

In this case hilariously this is means that the media and the Democrats have had to take the side of the virus

And of course the communist Chinese

““Why is the treatment controversial if so many countries are using it(?)””

Because it works and Trump mentioned it?

[[ Wow, one ‘study’ from the VA has morphed from singular to the plural ‘studies.’]]

There was a recent chinese study too that claimed no positive effect for HCQ- I don’t even think it was a valid study- but even if it was- you know they were lying about the results-

Go to corsination.com and click on TeleMD.

He has multiple videos on one page discussing at length the HCQ + Azithromicin + Zinc cocktail.

Just assume Corsi is bat-shit crazy (He’s not) and check it out anyway. You can thank me later...

Corsi accidentally emailed Aaron Zelinsky

My assumption is Corsi is working as confidential source.

Because it's affordable and that would upset those (Bill Gates, Faucci, Birx et al) that stand to make billions off the "mandatory" vaccines they want to push onto every single person (7 BILLION ) in the world.

So this Aaron Zelinsky gets an accidental Email from Corsi, and that causes the rogue politically motivated DOJ (after a call from Zelinsky) to somehow get approval for access to Corsi’s Email account, where they find he has also been communicating with Dr Zelensky, and on that alone, but no hint of any crime Zelensky is caught up in a DOJ investigation.

If Obama wants to sue Corsi for libel or slander, that is Obama’s business, not the federal government’s, not the DOJ’s.
