America's Frontline Doctors is an American right-wing political organization known for spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2][3] Founded by Simone Gold and promoted by the Tea Party Patriots, it has opposed lockdowns and social distancing mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic by citing alleged and unapproved treatments for COVID-19. In January 2021, Gold and the group's communications director John Strand were both arrested in connection with the 2021 United States Capitol attack.
On January 6, 2021, founder Simone Gold participated in the 2021 United States Capitol attack to protest the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election. She faced charges of entering a restricted building or grounds, violent entry and disorderly conduct.[9] Gold claimed she followed a crowd into the Capitol without realizing it was illegal entry. Gold claimed she did not witness any violence; however, the FBI affidavit in support of criminal complaint and arrest warrant references video evidence that contradicts this.[12] Gold told reporters that she was concerned that photos of her inside the Capitol would distract from her health advocacy work and said "I do regret being there" but described the event as "not a riot" and "incredibly peaceful."[11][13]
