Simone Gold

Simone Gold is an American doctor who has gained prominence for her stance against COVID-19 vaccines. She is the founder of America's Frontline Doctors, an organization that has been associated with the dissemination of misinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to her involvement in the 2021 United States Capitol attack, Gold had already drawn significant attention to herself and her organization.

Gold's rise to notoriety began in July 2020, when a video of an America's Frontline Doctors press conference held in front of the US Supreme Court Building circulated widely. During the conference, she advocated for the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19, despite existing evidence highlighting its ineffectiveness and potential risks. Her activities ultimately led to her arrest and subsequent guilty plea related to the 2021 Capitol attack.
