Dr. Simone Gold, who founded the controversial group America’s Frontline Doctors and has promoted hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19, has pleaded guilty after being indicted for entering the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to federal prosecutors.

Gold, 56, was originally being indicted on five counts, but four of those were dropped after Gold reached a plea deal agreement with the Department of Justice. She pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds. She now faces up to six months in jail and a $9,500 fine. Gold was taken into custody on Jan. 18, 2021, and sentencing is scheduled for June 16.

She traveled to Washington, DC with her communication director, John Strand, the day before the protest. As part of her guilty plea, Gold acknowledged she and Strand were near a police officer who was reportedly assaulted and dragged to the ground.

She gave a speech on Jan. 5 in support of hydroxychloroquine, speaking passionately against lockdowns the Justice Department noted in a complaint.

Many contend that the drug successfully treats the virus. It was also promoted by former President Donald Trump.

Gold reportedly entered the Capitol with Strand through the East Rotunda doors. She proceeded to give a speech in Statuary Hall against lockdowns and forced vaccinations, federal officials claim.

A week after that, Gold told  The Washington Post in an interview that she regretted taking part in the protest and asserted she was never part of any rioting.

Strand told the Washington Post that he was at the Capitol to help Gold and to “ensure her safety.” He pleaded not guilty to the charges again him. A trial for Strand is scheduled to begin on July 18.

“I can certainly speak to the place that I was, and it most emphatically was not a riot,” she declared.

The Medical Board of California still shows Gold is licensed to practice medicine in the state and has a Beverly Hills office address. She is allegedly being censored by Google and social media platforms.

The left has branded her as the leading purveyor of coronavirus misinformation because of her support of hydroxychloroquine for treating COVID. With over 400,000 followers on Twitter, Gold is a strong voice standing against vaccine mandates.

Dr. Irwin Redlener, the founding director of Columbia University’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness, stated that Gold has had “a starring role” in the anti-vaccine propaganda movement, according to the Daily Mail. He charged that she used her medical credentials and platform to “undermine science” and politically pollute efforts during the pandemic

“In some ways, her extremist voice seems to weigh with greater impact than the vast, vast majority of doctors who are saying, ‘Of course, you need to take the vaccine. It will save your life,'” Redlener noted.

In a letter that was personally addressed to Gold, Rep. James Clyburn, who chairs the Jan. 6 committee, cited news reports that America’s Frontline Doctors and its partners generated millions of dollars in revenue by selling hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and offering online telehealth consultations.

“While (America´s Frontline Doctors) is not alone in providing these services, it is reportedly among the top purveyors of questionable treatments nationwide and a prominent source of misinformation related to the coronavirus,” Clyburn wrote in his letter laying the groundwork to further justify persecuting Gold.
