Trump keeps touting an unproven coronavirus treatment. It’s now being tested on thousands in New York. (Washington Post)

We found that Mark Meadows, Trump's incoming chief of staff, contacted Zev Zelenko, the NY doctor whose covid-19 drug plan was promoted by Hannity this week. Meadows told Zelenko his plan was being evaluated. Here are some of Zelenko's recent FB posts:

"Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko, a doctor in Monroe, N.Y., said in an interview that he was contacted by Meadows after posting an unsolicited video message to Trump on Facebook in which he told the president: “Please advise the country that they should be taking this medication."
This is completely unethical and should have never been responded to by lay politicians.
It should have been referred to the people at FDA and CDC.
How on earth can we have a cohesive practice to rid ourselves of this disease when non-scientists keep meddling in practices and outcomes.
