First of all, OAN, the source of this story, is just another one of these goofy ultra-right-wing news outlets that are well-known for promoting false news stories and conspiracy theories. It has zero credibility.

Secondly, Dr. Vladmir Zelenko, an ultra orthodox jew, was expelled by his own Kiryas Joel community in New York for presenting his unfounded claims as fact, without ever presenting any data or evidence to prove his claims that this drug actually cured anyone of Covid19.

Thirdly, the WHO (World Health Organization) DID test Hydroxychoroquine, and found that it has little to NO impact on illness, hospitalization, or death from Covid19.

It has some value as a treatment for Malaria, Lupus, and Arthritis, but is pretty much worthless for Covid19.

Fourthly, Zelenko is only one of 43 nominees in his category, and has not a hope in hell of winning.

Fifthly, just about any qualified or certified individual can nominate someone for a Nobel Peace Prize. It does NOT mean that the nominee deserves to be nominated, or that the nominator genuinely believes that the person deserves a nomination.

Politics and agendas, as usual, factor into the process, and Zelenko is a well-known Trump toady.


Believe the WHO at your parel
