Some Pro-Trump conservatives who still refuse to get vaccinated are relying on hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to treat the virus — drugs that the FDA and the medical community have staunchly warned against taking. This week, the Intercept released a damning report revealing that a prominent conservative organization has linked up with healthcare providers to swindle people out of millions. How? By spreading vaccine misinformation and selling them fake COVID cures.
One of the most prominent operations to scam the unvaccinated has been spearheaded by America’s Frontline Doctors, a pro-Trump organization founded last summer by conservative California doctor Simone Gold. According to hacked data sent to the Intercept, 72,000 people paid America’s Frontline Doctors a staggering $6.7 million for COVID-19 consultations from July 16 to September 12. The company then made millions more by prescribing hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to people desperate to cure or prevent COVID.
