The Daily Beast reports:
A Beverly Hills doctor who’s publicly criticized the coronavirus vaccine and advocated for hydroxychloroquine as a treatment against the deadly virus has been arrested in connection with the Capitol riots. Dr. Simone Gold, 55, was among three Los Angeles residents who were arrested on Monday.
Gold garnered national attention in July when she organized a press conference on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to condemn pandemic lockdowns and rave about how “hydroxychloroquine works” as a treatment for COVID-19.
The doctor made a similar speech during the Jan. 6 insurrection, confirming to The Washington Post she was photographed holding a megaphone on the Rotunda floor.
Med Page Today reports:
Along with Gold, federal officials also arrested John Strand, communications director for America’s Frontline Doctors, who was pictured with the physician at the event. Gold joined the mob that stormed Capitol Hill in an attempt to disrupt the 2020 election certification process.
She spoke at protests in Washington, D.C., leading up to the riot, casting doubt on the vaccines and claiming that COVID-19 is non-fatal. Gold stated that citizens must not comply with taking “an experimental, biological agent deceptively named a vaccine.”
Here is Dr. Simone Gold giving an impromptu speech inside the building at the #DCRIOTS
Her partner, John Strand, stands back and films the erratic display.“(unintelligible) educated attorney! I’m a mom!”
