Summary

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko is a Ukrainian-American family physician and author known for promoting a three drug combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc sulfate, and azithromycin as part of an experimental outpatient treatment for COVID-19 that he has promoted as the Zelenko Protocol. He was nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Nobel Prize, and was recognized as a hero at a US Senate Homeland Security committee hearing.
