Eli Rosenberg – Where Are They Now

Who he was in the COVID era

Associate professor of epidemiology at the University at Albany School of Public Health and a pandemic adviser to NYSDOH. Documented Source: UAlbany faculty page
Lead author of the JAMA HCQ study (published May 11, 2020): 1,438 hospitalized patients in metropolitan New York. HCQ, azithromycin or both showed no significant difference in in-hospital mortality. Commissioner Howard Zucker was the last author. Documented Source: JAMA 2020;323(24):2493–2502 / PMC7215635
Reanalysis claim: R. Clinton Ohlers (as named in the film) says (00:15:08–00:15:33) that restricting the data to patients treated early shows "85 to 90 percent" survival vs "under 53 percent." His World Tribune article was later removed from Twitter, he says (00:15:55). Allegation (third-party reanalysis; not peer reviewed as far as we know)

00:14:50–00:15:06 — "On May 11th of 2020, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study by Rosenberg et al…"; "It looks like a study that was designed to fail." (Ohlers, per the film's citation caption at 00:14:50)
00:15:55 — Ohlers: World Tribune article; Twitter ban (Ohlers)
00:16:49–00:16:55 — "Zucker later resigned, but not before his health department hired Eli Rosenberg, his old co-author" (Narration)

Hired by the state: he joined NYSDOH in Jul 2021 as Deputy Director for Science in the Office of Public Health, while Zucker was still commissioner. The film frames this as a reward for a co-author (00:16:49). Documented (hire; the framing is the film's) Source: Capitol Pressroom, Jul 20, 2021
