Pashinyan about pre-war negotiations and "avoiding" the war:
The idea that a flexible foreign policy could have avoided this war is being constantly circulated. Those [former officials] who believe in this thesis must answer at least one question: as a result of their "flexible" policy, why was it not possible to avoid the war of 2016, which was preceded by the unprecedented escalation of 2015 and 2014?
The "flexible" policy adopted by Armenia for many years led to the introduction of Russian proposals in January 2016, which proposed the return of 7 territories (5 + 2) without any legal status for Nagorno-Karabakh.
Why did Russia make such an offer? For one simple reason, as a result of Armenia's "flexible" policy, the Madrid process had come to a standstill because Artsakh could receive a Status outside Azerbaijan only with the consent of Azerbaijan.
It was obvious to Russia and everyone else that Azerbaijan would not agree to this, so it was necessary to find ways to break the deadlock.
And, by the way, if certain people claim that Armenia's foreign policy after 2018 was not sufficiently pro-Russian and this was the reason for the war, then why in the conditions of the "sufficiently pro-Russian" policy of 2016 were Russian proposals born and why did the April war take place?
There was only one way to prevent this war: return the regions and forget about Artsakh's legal status. Now, after the war is over and we know the outcome, the number of supporters of [giveaway of 7 regions] is growing. What they forget is that if we gave away the lands to avoid the war, we would have the same situation in Syunik borders. They used to accuse us of "selling lands" [he means the contradictory statements like Nikol sold the lands, and why didn't Nikol sell the lands earlier to avoid the war].
The biggest failure by the supporters of the "flexible policies" is that they spent years trying to avoid a war instead of preparing for it. Our biggest failure is that we weren't able to recover enough embezzled public property in the past 2.5 years to help us better prepare for the war.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1039231.html businesses owned by opposition leaders
What are the known businesses owned by some of the famous people you might have seen in the public square lately?
Vazgen Manukyan
20% share in
Lorva Amrots Ltd which plans to operate two hydro-power plants on Dzoraget river. Manukyan purchased the shares in 2011 after being appointed by Serj as the head of the Public Council.
In 2015-2016, he owned 30% shares in
Vanavka Group. In 2015-2017 he had 30% shares in
Jermakunq Group. These companies extracted and bottled water. At the time, the director of these companies was charged with illegal bottling and causing ֏55 million in damages to the state. The corruption case was sent to the IRS, which terminated the investigation after "not finding a crime". The companies export the products mostly to Russia.
Arthur Vanetsyan
Vanetsyan is a poor boy, according to the public declarations database. But if you have time,
take a look at the investigative report I covered in Ap29/2020 news, according to which Vanetsyan's family allegedly used offshore firms and owns mining shares.
More on that here. Here is a
Hetq investigative report.
Vanetsyan's father owns
AV Group flower importing business. About a year ago, the police investigated several flower sellers near a stadium. An opposition outlet claimed that the sellers were "beaten and forced" to testify that Vanetsyan's father was running an underground business. This was never properly proven and the opposition's claim that Vanetsyan was about to be charged did not happen. The police confirmed that there was an investigation against several flower sellers. These flower sellers ended up hiring Vanetsyan's co-party-creator Arsen Babayan as a lawyer.
Vanetsyan's father owns 50% shares of
A B Export oil import company that began operating in 2017. It was a minor player that quit the market in 2019. Vanetsyan's father also owns 60% of
A B Trans transportation company.
In Nov/2019,
CivilNet wrote about Arthur Vanetsyan's cousins' possible involvement with Zangezur Copper factory
(massive business). The same offshore firm in Cyprus, which purchased Zangezur shares, was tied to Vanetsyan's cousins' another business in the same offshore.
Vanetsyan's cousins also own a Switzerland-based
Exoil wholesale cooking oil and shipping company. In 2019 it had a revenue of $148 million
(11 billion Rubles). The cousins don't do this business in Armenia.
Per 2019 registration, Arthur Vanetsyan himself owns one apartment, $10,000, and ֏1 million.
Media reported in May/2020 that Vanetsyan's cousin purchased a ֏300 million mansion in Yerevan, which was donated to then-new political party "Hayreniq", co-founded by Arthur Vanetsyan and Arsen Babayan
(the guy who is accused of helping HHK to fabricate documents in 2018 to hijack the Constitutional Court by appointing HHK MP Hrayr Tovmasyan as a judge).
Arthur Vanetsyan's mother served as the chief of the personnel-management department in Serj and Pashinyan administrations, before quitting and working as Serj's aide.
Vanetsyan's wife owns
Villa Montessori preschool in Yerevan. She also runs the
Young Education Center Ltd.
ARF Ishkhan Saghatelyan
Pashinyan appointed Saghatelyan as Gegharquniq governor for a brief period after the 2018 revolution, when Pashinyan created a unity-government, represented by all political parties. The honeymoon soon ended and each party went their way.
Saghatelyan owns shares in
i-mega Service Ltd. It's a tourism agency founded in 2006. It operates in Armenia, Artsakh, and Georgia.
Saghatelyan founded
Navasar company and serves as director. It's owned by his father.
Saghatelyan family owns the
Tsovasar hotel complex on Lake Sevan shores. It's 10,000 m
2 (a hectare?).
As of 2018, Saghatelyan declared ownership of 8 pieces of land, 2 apartments, ֏18.5 million, $45,000, and €15,000.
Saghatelyan's father is the mayor of Gegharquniq's Geghamavan settlement. This municipality had recently sent a letter demanding Pashinyan's resignation.
Saghatelyan used to be a shareholder of
Shiman Ltd which is no longer active.

The street demonstrations, organized by the former regime and its allies, continue. They demand Pashinyan's resignation and the appointment of their candidate Vazgen Manukyan as the Prime Minister for the duration of a year, after which they agree to hold new elections.
ARF leader Artsvik Minasyan said they don't plan to discuss snap elections with Pashinyan.
"Right now, our only demand is Pashinyan's resignation. We demand SIS to immediately hold every criminal accountable". The demonstrators gathered in front of the SIS building to present the demands.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1039316.html Pashinyan meets leaders of several opposition parties
QP leader Lilith: there is a possibility there will be a meeting between Pashinyan and the three Parliamentary political parties. They could discuss snap elections. The impression is that politicians who demand Pashinyan's resignation do not want snap elections in an attempt to bypass the citizen's right to form a government. Our political team reaffirms the position that none of us is clinging on seats. //
LHK MP Gorgisyan: we cannot hold snap elections now, under this chaotic situation. We will discuss snap elections if Pashinyan discusses his resignation and transfer of power.
(LHK wants its leader Marukyan to be elected as Prime Minister by a Parliamentary vote) //
Pashinyan met BHK leader Tsarukyan. The latter is against holding snap elections unless Pashinyan resigns now, and presumably, he wants Vazgen Manukyan appointed as PM.
LHK leader Marukyan also wants Pashinyan to resign now so a new Prime Minister can form a new government cabinet "consisted of experts".

https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1039327.html felony case: ex-HHK MP charged with armed attack on ex-IRS official
In August of this year, Russia extradited a former HHK MP Alraghatsi Lyovik to Armenia. He was wanted for allegedly burglarizing and shooting at a senior IRS official a decade ago. At the time, his case was "frozen". It was relaunched in 2018.
(magic wand) NSS says: suspect Lyovik, with the help of citizens AK and AN, organized an armed burglary against IRS Chief (?) Avetisyan in 2008.
AK was in the United States. In 2004, he stole $150,000 from jewelry shops in Los Angeles. He got caught but managed to flee to Armenia.
Once in Armenia, AK colluded with policeman AN to organize a similar criminal ring in Armenia.
[MP] Lyovik personally knew AK, and learned about their burglaries. Since Lyovik had bad relations with the IRS chief
(victim), he decided to punish the victim by urging AK to burglarize his house. Lyovik revealed the plot to his brother-in-law, who happened to be the victim's personal aide. The latter gave all the personal habits and details about the victim to the burglars.
[read the article for the full story, or wait for a Hollywood movie in theaters near you]
The burglars and organizers are charged with felonies.

Azerbaijan received criticism for refusing to allow search teams to enter the Hadrut region yesterday. They also prevented UNESCO from checking the status of several Armenian cultural sights, after complaining that UNESCO was "biased" against Azerbaijan during the war.
HR Ombudsman: Any untrue information can not be a reason to disrupt the humanitarian process [referring to unconfirmed rumors on social media that Armenians opened fire at Azeris in Hadrut. An unofficial Iranian social media channel claims 3 Azeris were killed but due to an internal fight.]
The Human Rights Ombudsman also criticized the Azeri troops for installing a provocative "welcome to Azerbaijan" sign on part of a road that went under Azeri control near Syunik borders. The Ombudsman says it's meant to intimidate the locals.

https://factor.am/325511.html Parliament votes: BHK MP Naira Zohrabyan's chairmanship
Context: BHK MP Naira Zohrabyan referred to the majority of Armenian voters as human trash *(or as she says: impure), and called for the establishment of forced re-education camps so people won't vote for a "wrong party" again. The ruling QP party launched a process to terminate her chairmanship in Parliamentary Human Rights Committee.
Read yesterday's thread for more details.*
QP MP Arthur: the law states that the Parliament can appoint and terminate the chairman. The termination of this seat does not require the same procedures as in the case of MPs and Judges. Armenian Constitution states that in Armenia, human beings are of the highest value, and inalienable human dignity is the inseparable basis of their rights and freedoms. MP Zohrabyan's public conduct is against it. //
The law gives the second-largest political party the mandate to appoint the chairman of this particular Committee. BHK, being the second-largest party, said they wouldn't appoint a replacement if Zohrabyan is voted out.
QP MP Arthur: per rules, if BHK refuses to appoint a new candidate, the largest (QP) party will receive the mandate. //
Parliament voted 78-4 to terminate Zohrabyan's chairmanship. BHK and LHK did not vote.
BHK MP Zohrabyan: this termination was a Constitutional crime.

Evaluating Doctor Z's "Critical Thinking Toolkit"
This being commentary on
Zubin Damania's (ZDogg) critique of an
expose video by Nurse Erin Olszewski.
Numbers heading paragraphs represent time into Zubin's video under which this commentary is posted.
1:37 ZDogg labels Nurse Olszewski as "insane". This is the first hint that Zdogg is the spawn of at least one member of the psychiatric establishment. In this case, DrZ's mother is a psychiatrist, who (I have to assume, since DrZ moved to the US from Iran when he was eight year old) received her degree in psychiatry either under the Shah of Iran or one of the successor "Revolutionary Guard" Islamic regimes, all of which used psychiatry as a tool of repression and torture. Currently an Iranian born woman, married to a British citizen, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliff, after being arrested for "spying" has been moved from prison to a mental ward of a hospital controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The move is probably not a step up for her situation. From my observations ZDogg has not fallen far from the family tree with regards to abusing psychiatric labeling.
1:30 "Doctor Z" offers to save the potential viewer of Nurse Olszewski's video time by offering a version of her talk excreted through his own philosophical unique filter. He is sure to mention that Nurse Olszewski is "traveling", thus demoting her to the ranks of those who either can not afford rent in today's market, of match some kind of psychiatric label I'm sure he has reserved for such persons.
2:10 "DrZ" accuses Nurse Olszewski of video recording medical charts (on computer screen) "with minimal redaction". In fact all names are blurred and unreadable in her video. Only anonymous data necessary to support the claims of the video are visible on the video. He also accuses her of audio recording co-workers "without their consent". Whether "Doctor Z" knows it or not, the reader should know (since DrZ does not make this clear), audio recording another person without their consent or knowledge is completely legal in the state of New York, where the video was recorded.
3:05 Drz says Nurse Olszewski claimed that hydroxychloroquine had not been allowed as a treatment "because of Cuomo". In fact, it is correct that New York governor Cuomo had singled out hydroxychloroquine as the one off-label drug that can not be used as treatment of covid, except as part of approved studies. The restriction was later removed. The Lancet paper initially claiming hydroxychloroquine is dangerous, has been retracted. The initial article claiming hydroxychloroquine is dangerous was retracted May 22, 2020.
3:22 DrZ then reads of his "conspiracy checklist" to be applied to Nurse Olszewski's video. He sites the nurse's claims that covid positive and negative patients are placed together "because" the hospital gets paid $29,000 per patient. I did not hear Nurse Olszewski say that. She did point out that the negative and positive patients were placed together - an atrocious practice, and that there was a $29,000 payment to the hospital for deaths from among those subjected to this treatment who became new covid positive patients. It was other individuals in the conversation that linked the motive and monetary reward factors. DrZ calls it a "red flag" that this moral hazard of dangling a substantial cash reward to a hospital for allowing conditions that could result in additional covid positive diagnosis. DrZ criticizes Nurse Olszewski for not including counter claims in her video. Most likely, those "potentially" benefiting these conditions are not going to be willing to comment other than a message of warning from the hospital's legal counsel. DrZ claims "a ton of staff would revolt" were the conditions Nurse Olszewski claims were in fact real. DrZ pulls the race card out of his sleeve when it is pointed out that a very large percentage of the nursing staff are immigrants with questionable educational backgrounds and mastery of the English language, who are probably barely making ends meet (maybe they should become traveling nurses) and are desperate not to lose their job and the means to meet the month's rent. The audio recordings provide examples of nurses who are concerned about the conditions at the "covid epicenter" hospital.
4:30 Nurse Olszewski is an antivaxer, which DrZ claims "ought to disqualify her from being a nurse". He claims her Tweet posts denied pandemic existed without providing any examples or links supporting this claim. In fact, Nurse Olszewski said her reason for traveling to work at the New York hospital was that the number of patients in the Florida hospital she was working in was dwindling, reducing the need for staff numbers.
DrZ says Nurse Olszewski is "the queen of the antivaxers". While she is opposed to mandatory vaccination, she seems minimally involved in the "antivaxing" movement on a political level. One extremist antivax group published an article, titled Highly Organized Controlled Opposition in Florida Deceives and Betrays Anti-Vax Advocacy Groups (
https://nationandstate.com/2019/09/27/highly-organized-controlled-opposition-in-florida-deceives-and-betrays-anti-vax-advocacy-groups/) tries to make the case that Erin is a mole for the government (deep state no doubt) who has infiltrated the true antivaxxing movement. They point out that Erin's presence on Twitter and her web page is very light, supporting their claim. Maybe it's because Erin is too busy doing her job as a dedicated nurse to spend all day Tweeting and passing on unsubstantiated data to be the internet success story DrD seems to be.
5:20 While in Florida, she spent time at the beach during the pandemic and that the vitamin D and fresh sea air supported her immune system. DrZ says this makes her a conspiratorial supporter of the "Plandemic" movement because the woman who put that movie out said that too. Erin points out that hospitals were not flooded with covid cases following the mass gathering of people on Florida beaches that made international news.
1:01:20 In Erin's interview video, she agrees that the covid-19 pandemic is real. at 1:03:05 Erin asserts that the reason for New York hospitals' having such a high number of covid patients is that they were "admitting everyone" as "possible covid when maybe, they just had a little congestion."
5:40 DrZ says of Erin's decision to travel from Florida to New York to work "however she structured it". Erin "structured" this decision quite clearly that there was less work for her in Florida and more in New York. What evil motivations must be harbored within that clearly malevolent statement?
5:55 DrZ's second conspiracy check features DrZ's definition of a "fake expert". Namely that they can be contrast with the "real experts". Unless DrZ is prepared to submit a thesis on the meaning of the word "expert" with regards to the medical field, his use of such a subjective determination renders his opinion on the subject moot. DrZ compares the urgent care doctor Erin discusses hydroxychloroquine/Zinc with to two doctors who's since mostly discredited theoretical covid treatment with no knowledge of the doctor Erin talked to other than to declare him "not an expert". at 46:55 in Erin's video, the interviewer says they called the hospital Erin worked at in Florida and were told by them that hospital had used hydroxychloroquine and zinc "to great effect."
6:50 DrZ accuses Erin of "cherry picking data". Data is a very small part of the interview of Erin. She mentions a few insufficiently tested treatments to a staff doctor and gets the response of immediate dismissal, probably just to prove their closed-mindedness. But the video is primarily to show the conditions on the floor of the facility, which it does do.
7:15 DrZ says Erin proposed to try hydroxychloroquine/zinc "because they're going to die anyway." This was after the doctor she is talking to says "I don't expect any of them to live - 90% will not survive." So literally, in the doctor's own words, there would be nothing to lose by trying Hydro/Zinc. Where is Dr. House when we need him?
7:30 DrZ makes the claim that Erin does not know what she is talking about because "she herself is a fake expert" because "she doesn't have the expertise to talk about these trials." Here DrZ is making the logical error of begging the question. I thought logic might have been included in med curriculums.
8:15 DrZ mentions that the doctor Efin questions and records is a CCU, which is a Cardiac (heart) Critical Care Fellow. A heart doctor i charge of a respiratory care ward with numerous fatalities from respiratory ailments seems almost as bad as putting a dentist in charge. At least the dentist treats patients down their throats and not by cutting through their ribs. DrZ mentions once again that Erin is an "antivaxer". Let's not forget that because it is the basis of his attack upon Erin's professionalism - because he has nothing else and that is a knee-jerk dog whistle to the left.
9:00 DrZ brings up another of his Erin's "huge logical fallacies" when she says "they're enterbating patients when you know when you enterbate patients, they die". This is exactly what the doctor Erin recorded said - that he didn't expect any of them (patients enterbated) to live.
9:15 DrZ brings up Scott Weingard, an expert in critical care, who, DrZ says disagrees with Erin's views. Interestingly, Scott has written extensively about the use of ventilators (
https://emcrit.org/emcrit/vent-part-1/). In Scott's article he says "right now, the actual knowledge in most of EMs on vents is dismal [PMIDs: 27330658 and 25497896]." Scott is saying that there is widespread misuse of ventilators in treating patients. This is what Erin has observed and documented. Too bad Scott's wisdom on ventilator usage has not been integrated into the training the staff at Elmhurst that Erin observed making the very errors in usage that Scott had warned against.
9:45 DrZ claims Erin said "the primary diagnosis for many of these patients is anxiety". And that anxiety can lower blood levels enough to cause physicians to put a breathing tube in you. In face, Erin makes no such claim. She sites ONE case in which a patient presents with negative test results and no covid associated symptoms but becomes anxious after awaking from sedation in bed restraints. Erin goes on to say that other nurses threatened this patient with forcefully inserting a breathing tube. Erin criticizes the hospital for using the less expensive covid test that takes five days for results instead of the quick test which costs more but reduces the necessity of keeping patients in hospital (where they have increased chance of infection) waiting for test results. That patient ended up pulling his own breathing tube out. He was one of the very few to survive being ventilated.
10:35 DrZ says that if a patient "acts like" they have covid, that's a presumptive positive. Ignoring many respiratory and "flu-like" symptoms that are indicative of diagnoses other than covid-19. This, DrZ says is more proof that Erin "doesn't have the logic" to understand medicine. DrZ then launches into a general critique of conspiracists and how they "move the goal posts" without relating it to Erin's presentation. DrZ describes Erin's politics as "covid denial" which, besides that not being a "political" feature, is not true of Erin. She was asked point blank by her interviewer if she believed in the existence of a pandemic of covie-19 and sayd that, yes, she does. That's what she has specifically been treating. She just happens to disagree with many of the protocols practiced at Elmherst hospital.
10:45 DrZ says that Erin "doesn't have the logic" to understand
11:50 DrZ accuses Erin of making "slanderous claims" against Elmherst hospital's treatment of covid patients. If anyone is guilty of slander, it is DrZ, who repeatedly accuses Erin of being unreliable and having some kind of conspiratorial agenda. DrZ goes on to claim that "Elmherst deserves these payments" (of $29,000 for each person entering the ward is covid positive (regardless of test results), perhaps regardless of test results. DrZ defends Elmherst's receiving this bounty on the basis that they are a not "one of these big hospitals that makes billions of dollars in revenue". Redistribution of medical revenue one dead patient at a time.
12:25 DrZ says "there's a process" for nurses to call out errors in the hospital. Recall that DrZ has called for the permanent revocation of nurses licenses from openly opinionated nurses like Erin. This would likely be the result if Erin were to try and use the hospital's own error reporting system.
13:05 DrZ characterizes Erin of "badmouthing a teaching hospital ... they will make mistakes". MISTAKE ! Your mother dying a torturous, unnecessary death may be some half-schooled nurse's "MISTAKE" and it's all in a day's work at Elmhurst.
13:15 DrZ says that many of the "learning" nurses learning on covid patients are "immigrants" and foreign medical graduates then posits that Erin's criticism of their performance is "racism". He extends this labeling by pointing out that those she questioned and recorded on the floor "has a thick accent and she's calling them incompetent". The obvious alternative to DrZ's observation is that anyone who is an immigrants" and foreign medical graduate or has a thick accent needs to be immune from criticism of the body count amassed by their ill-education or erroneous practices treating patients.
14:00 DrZ says "This woman should be punished - she should lose any professional license she has anywhere in the United States". He goes on to say that "we should have a national licensure instead of the state license." This, he says, to keep nurses like Erin from "just going to another state and get another nursing license."
According to the doctor's Linkdin, the only in-hospital duty he has served has been as a Hospitalist (1).
The last three years, DrZ has been "Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at UNLV School of Medicine" - whatever that is. Since Wikipedia lists his address in Clovis California, I wonder if this is some kind of "virtual" consultant status where he just hangs his shackle on a web site and occasionally puts out a podcast or does one of his medical comedian stant-up routines. I guess Las Vegas might be a good venue for that. Stinking drunk casino guests are all as likely to laugh at his lame humor as inebrieted medical students.
Overlapping that stint, the last ten years he has operated ZDoggMD Industries (his web site and yutube channel).
He has also spent the last 3 years as Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine UNLV School of Medicine.
From 2012 – 2017 he was Founder and CEO, Turntable Health Turntable Health which seems to have been something of a virtual social media medical project that didn't stand the test of time.
From 2013 – 2015 he partnered with online shoe seller Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh "to revitalize and reinvent the community of Downtown Las Vegas." Damania was on the board of directors of Iora Health from 2013 - 1015. Iora was a partner in the creation of Turntable Health.
2003 – 2015 Damania was Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Stanford University Medical Center.
From 2003 – 2012 Damania was Physician (Hospitalist) at Palo Alto Medical Foundation. "Full time inpatient-only hospitalist position" according to linkedin dot com. So for nine years we have indication that Damania did in fact work in a hospital treating patients. This stopped in 2012 after the CEO of online shoe seller Zappos discovered Damania in San Francisco and recruited him in his plan to "revitalize and reinvent the community of Downtown Las Vegas". Damania's in-hospital, patient contact experience is, according to Linkedin (
https://www.linkedin.com/in/zdoggmd) nine years stale. He dropped out of medicine in real terms long before the current pandemic.
2002 – 2003: Content Manager Medsn, an HCP membership network and a medical e-learning startup. He participated in preparation of remote, medical educational products.
1995 – 1998: Instructor and Educational Materials Developer at The Berkeley Review.
1994 – 1995: University of California, Berkeley, Research Associate
1999 - 2002: Damania interned at Stanford University Internal Residency.
(1) A hospitalist is a doctor who is limited to practicing only on hospital in-patients while they are hospitalized (only). An article at the web site the-hospitalist dot org (
https://www.the-hospitalist.org/hospitalist/article/123072/what-hospitalist) says that "... some hospitalists were primarily engaged in research or leadership positions and did not provide a great deal of direct patient care, yet clearly defined themselves as hospitalists." One has to wonder if DrZ is one of these since he does not seem to refer to any of his own experience treating patients.
As for myself. I am neither anti nor pro vax. I had the full gauntlet of vaccinations when in elementary school during the 60's, as did all of my classmates. No adverse affects were claimed by any parents to my knowledge. I have had no vaccinations since adulthood. I have contracted no viral infections the last 20 years - with a possible exception of a couple of common colds. I have studied nutrition and health since high school and take supplements including vitamin C, D and calcium/magnesium/zinc. I try to avoid polluted environments and stressful situations. If I had kids I would probably study the vax/no-vax options and perhaps selectively vaccinate them to the most threatening viruses. If private vaccination options offered a less threatening type of vaccination, I would try and utilize that. I am not in any way involved in the medical industry. I am a college graduate with a broad general education that included basic and several special biological subjects. I am skeptical of the medical establishment. I am glad there are medical professionals like Erin who question the authority which could end her career if she were to sufficiently rile them.
Evaluating Doctor Z's "Critical Thinking Toolkit" - (as in "condition critical" relative to his grasp of matters medical and reality-logically in general:
This being commentary on Zubin Damania's (ZDogg) critique of an expose video by Nurse Erin Olszewski.
Numbers heading paragraphs represent time into Zubin's video under which this commentary is posted.
1:37 ZDogg labels Nurse Olszewski as "insane". This is the first hint that Zdogg is the spawn of at least one member of the psychiatric establishment. In this case, DrZ's mother is a psychiatrist, who (I have to assume, since DrZ moved to the US from Iran when he was eight year old) received her degree in psychiatry either under the Shah of Iran or one of the successor "Revolutionary Guard" Islamic regimes, all of which used psychiatry as a tool of repression and torture. Currently an Iranian born woman, married to a British citizen, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliff, after being arrested for "spying" has been moved from prison to a mental ward of a hospital controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The move is probably not a step up for her situation. From my observations ZDogg has not fallen far from the family tree with regards to abusing psychiatric labeling.
1:30 "Doctor Z" offers to save the potential viewer of Nurse Olszewski's video time by offering a version of her talk excreted through his own philosophical unique filter. He is sure to mention that Nurse Olszewski is "traveling", thus demoting her to the ranks of those who either can not afford rent in today's market, of match some kind of psychiatric label I'm sure he has reserved for such persons.
2:10 "DrZ" accuses Nurse Olszewski of video recording medical charts (on computer screen) "with minimal redaction". In fact all names are blurred and unreadable in her video. Only anonymous data necessary to support the claims of the video are visible on the video. He also accuses her of audio recording co-workers "without their consent". Whether "Doctor Z" knows it or not, the reader should know (since DrZ does not make this clear), audio recording another person without their consent or knowledge is completely legal in the state of New York, where the video was recorded.
3:05 Drz says Nurse Olszewski claimed that hydroxychloroquine had not been allowed as a treatment "because of Cuomo". In fact, it is correct that New York governor Cuomo had singled out hydroxychloroquine as the one off-label drug that can not be used as treatment of covid, except as part of approved studies. The restriction was later removed. The Lancet paper initially claiming hydroxychloroquine is dangerous, has been retracted. The initial article claiming hydroxychloroquine is dangerous was retracted May 22, 2020.
3:22 DrZ then reads of his "conspiracy checklist" to be applied to Nurse Olszewski's video. He sites the nurse's claims that covid positive and negative patients are placed together "because" the hospital gets paid $29,000 per patient. I did not hear Nurse Olszewski say that. She did point out that the negative and positive patients were placed together - an atrocious practice, and that there was a $29,000 payment to the hospital for deaths from among those subjected to this treatment who became new covid positive patients. It was other individuals in the conversation that linked the motive and monetary reward factors. DrZ calls it a "red flag" that this moral hazard of dangling a substantial cash reward to a hospital for allowing conditions that could result in additional covid positive diagnosis. DrZ criticizes Nurse Olszewski for not including counter claims in her video. Most likely, those "potentially" benefiting these conditions are not going to be willing to comment other than a message of warning from the hospital's legal counsel. DrZ claims "a ton of staff would revolt" were the conditions Nurse Olszewski claims were in fact real. DrZ pulls the race card out of his sleeve when it is pointed out that a very large percentage of the nursing staff are immigrants with questionable educational backgrounds and mastery of the English language, who are probably barely making ends meet (maybe they should become traveling nurses) and are desperate not to lose their job and the means to meet the month's rent. The audio recordings provide examples of nurses who are concerned about the conditions at the "covid epicenter" hospital.
4:30 Nurse Olszewski is an antivaxer, which DrZ claims "ought to disqualify her from being a nurse". He claims her Tweet posts denied pandemic existed without providing any examples or links supporting this claim. In fact, Nurse Olszewski said her reason for traveling to work at the New York hospital was that the number of patients in the Florida hospital she was working in was dwindling, reducing the need for staff numbers.
DrZ says Nurse Olszewski is "the queen of the antivaxers". While she is opposed to mandatory vaccination, she seems minimally involved in the "antivaxing" movement on a political level. One extremist antivax group published an article, titled Highly Organized Controlled Opposition in Florida Deceives and Betrays Anti-Vax Advocacy Groups (
https://nationandstate.com/2019/09/27/highly-organized-controlled-opposition-in-florida-deceives-and-betrays-anti-vax-advocacy-groups/) tries to make the case that Erin is a mole for the government (deep state no doubt) who has infiltrated the true antivaxxing movement. They point out that Erin's presence on Twitter and her web page is very light, supporting their claim. Maybe it's because Erin is too busy doing her job as a dedicated nurse to spend all day Tweeting and passing on unsubstantiated data to be the internet success story DrD seems to be.
5:20 While in Florida, she spent time at the beach during the pandemic and that the vitamin D and fresh sea air supported her immune system. DrZ says this makes her a conspiratorial supporter of the "Plandemic" movement because the woman who put that movie out said that too.

5:55 DrZ's second conspiracy check features DrZ's definition of a "fake expert". Namely that they can be contrast with the "real experts". Unless DrZ is prepared to submit a thesis on the meaning of the word "expert" with regards to the medical field, his use of such a subjective determination renders his opinion on the subject moot.
