The Conservative Political Action Conference, a highly influential hub on the Republican political circuit, heads to Washington on Wednesday, and it will be sponsored by an advocacy organisation once dubbed “among the top purveyors” of Covid misinformation by a member of Congress.
The group, called America’s Frontline Doctors (AFD), passes itself as any other medical organisation, but public health experts and critics say it has promoted pseudoscientific Covid cures like using horse dewormer, fostered anti-vaccine sentiment, and abused donor funds.
