I had never heard of this man, but he was giant, taken far too soon. From the Human Events Media Group at humanevents.com:
Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko, the man who discovered and implemented the “Zelenko Protocol” in response COVID-19, which millions worldwide credit with saving their lives over the past two years, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was 48.
He attended Hofstra University where he earned a B.S. in chemistry with high honors. He then went on to the Buffalo School of Medicine where he earned his M.D. in 2000.
Zev had a family medical practice in Monroe, New York in 2020 during the onset of what would become the Covid-19 pandemic. As a physician who masterfully combined the skills of both critical thinking and the scientific method, and who shaped their application out of his love for both God and patients, Zev was not content to sit back and wait for politicians or public health officials to settle upon a prescribed treatment path. People were dying. He began searching almost immediately for a method of treatment.
Aided by initiative, good fortune, and from his account divine intervention, he discovered a treatment in combining Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), zinc, azithromycin, and other various drugs, especially steroids, and creating what has come to be known as the “Zelenko protocol,” based on the concept of very early intervention to treat the virus inside the cellular level before it could break loose and develop into a full-blown respiratory disease.
Up to the time of his death, Zev had overseen the treatment of approximately 7,500 patients using his protocol and experienced only three patient deaths. The use of the Zelenko protocol has spread worldwide.
While he was nominated along with other courageous doctors for a Nobel Prize in recognition of his groundbreaking treatment and outspoken advocacy on behalf of patients, for the most part Zev faced censorship and condemnation for his taking a bold stand against prevailing orthodoxy. For whatever their motives, politicians and health officials worldwide attempted to either downplay or outright deny the efficacy of the Zelenko protocol and its simple, low-cost treatment path. Numerous studies were launched to dispute the efficacy of using HCQ (later ivermectin) in conjunction with other drugs.
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
How could you never had heard of him? Seriously, Robert? WTF

Well, I may have read about him and the name didn’t stick. I read a lot about these subjects but I haven’t delved deeply into the various protocols. I just make sure we’re stocked up on ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and the right vitamins. Or maybe it’s failing memory. I just turned 64 and perhaps I’m slipping into senility and dotage. Anyway, it’s an error that I hope I rectified a bit by publishing this obituary.
