Zelenko wrote (above) that he had:
"669 PATIENTS SEEN IN MY MONROE, NY practice with either test proven or clinically diagnosed corona infection"
That "test proven" part is easy to miss.
Zelenko's study is not a randomized controlled double-blind study but, at 699 patients so far, it is definitely statistically significant.
It will be months, if not years, and quite possibly never before a controlled experiment occurs. Such an experiment could be deemed medically unethical because it withheld a highly-successful treatment from the control group:

- mrbrianhinton 7y agoYes. "test proven or clinically diagnosed corona infection". Clinically diagnosed means that they had symptoms that COULD be COVID-19. But unless they are tested it's not definitive evidence of anything, and further puts into question the treatment. Many of the symptoms are just like the common flu. I understand people jumping, and hoping that this is some cure. Likely if anything it helps treat the secondary illnesses caused by COVID-19, and perhaps helps improve recovery in that way.
