America’s Frontline Doctors was founded by Simone Gold, who spent the last year barnstorming churches and schools, insisting COVID vaccines cannot be trusted. She’s become wildly influential with antivaxxers in the process. She has over 300k followers on this website.pic.twitter.com/drGmJFU2tG

Over the last year, as HCQ failed to become the miracle cure America’s Frontline Doctors claimed, antivaxxers became obsessed with COVID therapeutics. They're largely experimental cocktails from countries that didn’t have—but wanted—vaccine access. Some included Ivermectin.

Antivaxx groups on Facebook and Reddit wanted ivermectin. Doctors wouldn’t prescribe it. Members did whack-a-mole with telehealth providers, trying to get doctors to sign off on scripts. But one reliably obliged: SpeakWithAnMD, who partners with… America’s Frontline Doctors.pic.twitter.com/m2vfTH30Lc

SpeakWithAnMD offered $90 COVID consultations with MDs from America’s Frontline Doctors. The cost of the ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine isn’t included, but, conveniently, they partner with a pharmacy who will ship it to your door!pic.twitter.com/539joeFnbW

We got a hold of the intake form for a SpeakWithAnMD doctor. One part of the questionnaire asks: “What medication do you prefer?” The user is then presented with three options: ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, or not sure.pic.twitter.com/8SkpWmRApB

Tthis got out of hand fast. SpeakWithAnMD now hits you with a prompt warning of long wait times due to "overwhelming demand." Antivaxxers were worried about family members dying of COVID, and they were told ivermectin cured it. They were getting really impatient.

Antivaxxers started imploring each other to go to pet stores, claiming the horse and people Ivermectin are the same. They started sharing tips on how to eat the gel kind. They started hoarding it. They started to wonder if maybe, without medical supervision, they had OD’d on it.pic.twitter.com/lSXIF5ItXJ

To evade what they believed to be incoming Facebook and Reddit bans, some ivermectin fans started to ask how much their “horse" weighs, so it didn’t look like they were giving out medical advice.pic.twitter.com/2oPGDcL8uC

So that's how we ended up here. Ivermectin fans on Facebook, complaining about wait times and high drug prices, got fed up with America’s Frontline Doctors, who sold them conspiracy and the fake cure. So they went to the feed store, to eat the horse goo, because it's cheaper.

There is one final plot twist. America’s Frontline Doctors founder Simone Gold was indicted and is awaiting trial... for her role in the Capitol Riot on January 6th. Out on personal recognizance, she was on the speaker lineup for an antivaxx rally in LA on Saturday.pic.twitter.com/KDk7UltXm7

  Completely unsurprising that one of the hydroxychloroquine/ivermectin charlatans was part of the attack on the Capitol.
