=== Speak Directly to the American People (03:41) ===

[00:00:00]  I just read that the president of Brazil has tested positive for the coronavirus and is taking hydroxychloroquine.
[00:00:10]  I have a lot of questions because I know you have been in touch with Brazil and they have been in touch with you.
[00:00:16]  First of all, I didn't see anywhere in the article that he's taking zinc.
[00:00:22]  So I'm trying to verify that.
[00:00:25]  I know Bolsonaro is a fan of mine.
[00:00:28]  I actually translated one of my YouTube videos and went on air in Brazil in April.
[00:00:33]  And his family has been very closely following my social media.
[00:00:38]  And I'm dealing with several major institutions in Brazil that have deployed my approach with good results.
[00:00:47]  So Bolsonaro is, I know for a fact, taking hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
[00:00:53]  I'm trying to verify if he's taking things.
[00:00:56]  So I don't want to speak without...
[00:00:57]  Having that confirmed.
[00:00:59]  But either way, he's doing really, really well.
[00:01:01]  He actually took it on air to show the Brazilian public that it's safe.
[00:01:10]  He's a real character.
[00:01:12]  I like him, actually.
[00:01:13]  Well, if he does well, they'll just say, most people who test positive do well.
[00:01:21]  Correct?
[00:01:23]  Listen, I don't care what they say anymore.
[00:01:25]  I'd rather speak directly to the American people and tell them, I have some very good news for you, American people and the people of the world.
[00:01:32]  We have an answer to this terrible infection.
[00:01:35]  We have a very effective way of treating it.
[00:01:37]  We have a way that if you treat it properly, you have a 99.3% survival rate in high-risk patients and an 84% reduction in hospitalizations, which have scaled globally.
[00:01:50]  Is the end of this pandemic.
[00:01:52]  It's a $20 treatment regimen by mouth.
[00:01:55]  If you stratify high-risk patients and begin treatment in the first five days with zinc, azithromycin, and hydroxychloroquine, you'll have a 99.3% survival rate in high-risk patients, 100% survival rate in low-risk patients, and an 84% reduction in hospitalization.
[00:02:14]  What that means is the end of the pandemic.
[00:02:16]  And that's the good news.
[00:02:17]  People are not dying from COVID. They're dying from ineffectual political leadership.
[00:02:23]  So we need to scream up and have a nonviolent revolution against the establishment who is creating barriers to access of care, of life-saving medications, because they want to bring down this president and because they want big pharmaceutical companies to make $3,200 a treatment of remdesivir instead of a $20 cheap generic drug treatment.
[00:02:49]  So people are literally dying right now in the world, around 5,000 people a day, because of conflicted interests, political and financial.
[00:03:00]  It's a crime against humanity.
[00:03:02]  It's a level of genocide.
[00:03:04]  Well, I happen to essentially agree with you, and I have been taking hydroxychloroquine just as a prophylactic.
[00:03:12]  You too.
[00:03:13]  You too.
[00:03:14]  Okay, well, you have a better reason.
[00:03:16]  You're in contact with COVID patients more than I am.
[00:03:19]  A lot more.
[00:03:19]  Anyway, it's clearly safe.
[00:03:23]  I get doctors who call me, and they're very angry.

=== Zinc and Viral Replication (04:21) ===

[00:03:28]  And one doctor told me that I was, we made a $1,000 bet on the issue, interestingly, and what will come out eventually with all the various tests.
[00:03:41]  But he raised the issue and said, well, you tell me, Dennis Prager, one other What time where zinc treats an illness?
[00:03:51]  And I couldn't come up with any.
[00:03:53]  So what would you answer?
[00:03:56]  Yeah, tell me one time where a bullet without a gun did anything.
[00:04:00]  You know, you need a delivery system of the zinc into the place where it works.
[00:04:05]  This person clearly doesn't understand medicine because I'm not saying, and I never said that take zinc and everything will be fine.
[00:04:11]  What I said is take hydroxychloroquine with zinc.
[00:04:15]  And then everything will be fine.
[00:04:16]  The reason why is you need to get the zinc into the cell where the virus says to kill it.
[00:04:22]  Yes, no, I get that.
[00:04:23]  But still, his question remains, where else in medicine is zinc a cure to something?
[00:04:33]  What does it matter where else?
[00:04:34]  I actually don't know the answer to that, except for the fact I can tell you 40% of the adult population is zinc deficient, and it causes sensory neuropathies.
[00:04:45]  Loss of smell and taste.
[00:04:46]  So that's significant.
[00:04:48]  But the point is, the zinc has antiviral properties.
[00:04:53]  It stops RNA-dependent RNA polymerase or replicase.
[00:04:57]  It's the enzyme that makes the virus replicate itself.
[00:05:01]  And if you block that mechanism, the virus cannot grow, and the immune system will then destroy the weakened enemy.
[00:05:09]  So whatever his objections are, they're...
[00:05:13]  Irrational.
[00:05:14]  So tell me, why in your opinion, and I take their calls, you heard one once when you were on with me, why are so many doctors, I mean, they just don't disagree on this, they are angry at me for advocating it.
[00:05:35]  Because they're stupid, and also they're on par of, let's say, You have a murderous dictatorship, and it has a military, and that military has given orders to commit crimes against humanity, and people follow orders blindly.
[00:05:54]  That's on the same level of these types of people.
[00:05:58]  They're not capable of critical thought.
[00:06:01]  They're not capable of analysis.
[00:06:03]  They just follow whatever the murderous governmental bodies that create false illusions, false narratives.
[00:06:12]  Mandate and they're afraid to take the risk to think more about the patient's well-being than themselves.
[00:06:20]  That's why.
[00:06:21]  So do you have any latest tests?
[00:06:25]  I published a paper.
[00:06:27]  It's available now on preprints.org.
[00:06:31]  The process of being peer-reviewed.
[00:06:33]  This paper is absolutely fundamental.
[00:06:35]  I know it's on the president's test.
[00:06:37]  I know it's on Bibi Netanyahu's desk.
[00:06:39]  I know Bolsonaro had it.
[00:06:41]  I know that the president of Ukraine has it, and most likely Putin has it.
[00:06:45]  And what the paper shows is if you use what's called the Zelenko Protocol, which I'll say again, risk stratify patients, identify the high-risk patients, treat them within the first five days of symptoms with zinc, azithromycin, and hydroxychloroquine.
[00:07:00]  And what you get is an 84% reduction in hospitalization and a 99.3% survival rate in high-risk patients.
[00:07:08]  And all these patients in the study had laboratory-proven COVID-19 diagnoses.
[00:07:13]  It's a 100% study, the only study that has 100% of the patients studied that had 100% confirmed diagnoses.
[00:07:23]  This is a statistically significant, rigorous, bulletproof, ironclad study done with the best researchers.
[00:07:30]  All right, where can people see it?
[00:07:33]  He's got a good one.
[00:07:34]  There's a website called the zelenkoprotocol.com.
[00:07:37]  Okay.
[00:07:39]  zelenkoprotocol.com.
[00:07:40]  Alright, my friend.
[00:07:41]  Thank you so much.
[00:07:43]  And please tell Bolsonaro to take zinc.
[00:07:47]  I will.
