![]() Simone Gold to lead AFLDS, and apparently set her up with office space and employees, though the “nonprofit” failed to file any of the necessary financial disclosures that would give us an idea of how much money they had or how many people were working there. A leaked call transcript from a CNP meeting revealed that they explicitly wanted a group of pro-Trump doctors who would improve that administration’s anti-science image. These organizations have absolutely massive amounts of money and influence, especially CNP, which has been around for 40 years and has included members like scammy televangelist Jerry Falwell, war criminal Oliver North, anti-education zealot Betsy Devos and Virgina Thomas, QAnon supporter and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. In fact, it was created by extremely wealthy conservative Christian organizations known as the Council for National Policy (CNP) and the Tea Party Patriots, who wanted to use “science” as a cover to push for reopening the economy at the expense of American lives. Yes, obviously, with Trump boosting it the ideas caught on: hydroxychloroquine treatments, no lockdowns and no masks, all that bullshit spread like wildfire but I almost immediately forgot the name “America’s Frontline Doctors” and assumed everyone else did as well.ĪFLDS, as they’re known, which is confusing because “FLDS” is the branch of Mormonism that marries little girls off to their own grandfathers but okay, but AFLDS wasn’t just a grassroots attempt at activism that failed to catch on. ![]() With that information out there, and with the fact that social media sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter actually did a really good job of taking that video down as quickly as possible, I honestly didn’t think this collection of clowns was going to really gain traction. She thinks Hannah Montana is a gateway that leads children to evilĪnd finally she thinks children should be whipped, which the Daily Beast finds unusual for a pediatrician, suggesting they do not find it unusual for a pediatrician to think witches have sex with you when you’re asleep.” She thinks scientists are trying to make a vaccine to stop you from being religious She thinks DNA from space aliens is in prescription drugs (not sure if that includes Zithromax) She thinks endometriosis, infertility and other problems with the reproductive system are caused by witches and demons that have sex with you while you’re asleep You’ve probably heard about this by now but I like to be thorough for future anthropologists: Let’s go through some of the beliefs that Immanuel didn’t get to mention in her stirring speech at the press conference. “Immanuel is a pediatrician based in Texas who took her time at the dais to announce that face masks don’t work to stop the spread of COVID-19 and the “cure” for the virus is hydroxychloroquine, zinc and Zithromax, which studies have shown to do more harm than good in patients and which the FDA does not authorize for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Stella Immanuel, who I talked about in a video at the time: The star of that press conference was Dr. Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, who were mostly able to conduct classes online through 2020, had lower than average death rates. We did open child care and early learning centers, which led childcare workers to die at rates higher than the average American in 2020 according to a study published this past summer. Hey, remember these guys? America’s Frontline Doctors, a collection of people, some of whom legitimately had M.D.s, who put out a viral video of a press conference in July of 2020 arguing things like “there’s not a single documented case of COVID transferring from student to teacher,” and therefore the US should open up schools without masks or other precautions.
