May 8, 2023Media Hit Men Hired by Disgraced ex-Board Member Joey Gilbert Continue Their False Claims About AFLDS and Dr. Simone GoldNAPLES, Fla. – It has come to the attention of America’s Frontline Doctors that a man with no formal connection, past or present, to AFLDS has falsely claimed to hold an official position within the organization, including references to such titles as “Chairman of the Oversight Committee”–a committee that has never existed at AFLDS–and more recently “CEO”–a title that has also never existed at AFLDS, given that Founder Dr. Simone Gold has served as President in leading her executive staff since she started the renowned medical and civil liberties nonprofit.As noted in the AFLDS <a href="https://aflds.org/about-us/press-releases/corrupt-lawyer-joey-gilbert-resigns-in-disgrace-from-aflds-board-to-avoid-further-legal-scrutiny">press release</a> from Mar 31, 2023, rogue lawyer Joey Gilbert, now known as “Avenatti-Lite”, was formerly a member of the AFLDS Board of Directors, until the organization’s independent accounting firm identified a pattern of illicit financial maneuvers by Gilbert to continually increase the donor monies being spent on himself and his personal campaign staff, which the Arizona Judge overseeing the resulting litigation subsequently described as “self-dealing.” The discovery of this corruption by Executive Director Lisa Andrzejewski and President Dr. Gold prompted an internal investigation, which led to the current Arizona lawsuit against Gilbert to remove him from the Board and to establish proper Board management of the 501(c)(3).While the lawsuit was in progress, a retired sheriff who was also an AFLDS Board member discovered further evidence of Gilbert’s fraud and deceptions, prompting Sheriff Mack to throw his support behind Gold, publicizing a <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/retired-sheriff-discovers-details-of-lawyer-joey-gilberts-hostile-takeover-attempt-of-americas-frontline-doctors-flips-to-support-founder-dr-simone-gold/">damning report</a> about Gilbert’s sabotage. This led to Gilbert’s entire consortium of corporate attorneys, including firms from Phoenix, Chicago, and Reno, abruptly quitting the case–which was quickly followed by Gilbert’s voluntary resignation from the Board.Meanwhile, suspicious actor Kevin Jenkins—who’s never&nbsp;held&nbsp;any role or position at AFLDS—has been appearing on news media slandering Dr. Gold and claiming to be a chairman and now the CEO at America’s Frontline Doctors. This is patently false–and anyone propagating such claims is furthering fraudulent defamation. Both Kevin Jenkins and Joey Gilbert have since been sued by Dr. Gold at AFLDS for defaming her professional reputation.Additionally, a Washington DC media firm operated by Chris Barron has published several fraudulent “press releases” using counterfeit AFLDS logo images. The public should be advised that Chris Barron has never been legitimately retained by Dr. Gold on behalf of AFLDS, and any materials published by Barron concerning AFLDS should be disregarded as fake and unscrupulous. Furthermore, any persons claiming to be an active member of the AFLDS Board of Directors, aside from Richard Mack and Dr. Simone Gold, are engaged in fraudulent claims and republishing defamatory statements posing harm to the organization.For reliable and accurate information regarding AFLDS, please consult our website, AFLDS.org.###About AFLDS&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Kevin Jenkins Falsely Claims Role at AFLDS and Continues Slander with Assistance from DC Publicist Chris Barron

March 31, 2023Controversial attorney known as “Avenatti-Lite” now finds his corruption catching up to him, clumsily resignsPHOENIX, Ariz. – The corrupt facade of Joey Gilbert continues to crumble around him, as his failed attempt at a hostile takeover of America’s Frontline Doctors is now leading to ethics complaints against him, and his entire slew of high-priced corporate attorneys abruptly quitting on him.After AFLDS Founder and President Dr. Simone Gold returned from an unjust J6 incarceration and self-imposed leadership hiatus, she resumed her leadership of the organization, only to discover financial malfeasance and other corrupt actions by Gilbert, a now ex-Board member who was clearly operating from the shadows to position himself for a coup in Gold’s absence. The corruption was initially discovered by the independent accounting firm that has managed the AFLDS finances for years, along with the Executive Director, who alerted Gold to the troubling issues and provided her with substantial documentation of Gilbert’s misdeeds. Gold brought this directly to Gilbert and the rest of the Board of Directors privately, urging an immediate investigation and subsequent removal of Gilbert from the Board.Instead of quietly resigning without undue attention, Gilbert instead exploded with a wild barrage of defamatory public statements and reckless litigation, all funded by AFLDS donations, which he illegitimately directed under the guise of his role as a board member. He filed a frivolous lawsuit containing false and defamatory claims against Gold, which was quickly discredited and dismissed, and he further spent AFLDS funds in hiring several media hit men, including Chris Barron and the dubious Kevin Jenkins, to continue smearing Dr. Gold across numerous TV shows and media outlets.As a result, Gold filed a lawsuit in Arizona on behalf of AFLDS against Gilbert, seeking judicial relief to remove him from the Board. Gilbert’s dishonesty in falsely accusing Gold was exposed by the Judge during a Preliminary Injunction hearing, as the Court’s formal statement declared his allegations to be untrue, and that Gilbert’s actions “smacked of self-dealing” while also confirming Gold’s leadership is requisite to the survival of AFLDS, and that the Board should work with Gold to resolve the conflicts amicably. Gilbert ignored this, instead distorting the Court’s statement with additional public defamations, and purported to fire not only Gold but the entire organization of nearly 50 people.With Dr. Gold continuing to successfully lead the organization according to the status quo maintained by the Judge, the lawsuit against Gilbert was proceeding to discovery where further evidence of Gilbert’s misdeeds would be reviewed in open Court. Instead of facing the impending legal jeopardy and public shaming, Gilbert followed his lawyers’ abrupt departure, suddenly abandoning ship by submitting his own resignation, once again leaving a trail of deceptive, defamatory statements and financial corruption in his wake. Avenatti-Lite is now sinking fast.Dr. Gold continues to work with the Arizona Court to maintain control of AFLDS and to uphold her commitment to the organization’s mission of exposing corruption, working tirelessly to restore complete integrity within the Board of Directors, as well as traveling the country for speaking engagements and other advocacy in defending civil liberties.&nbsp;“We must Drain the Science Swamp” she urges the public, as Gold and the AFLDS Affiliate Physicians continue to expose government and media propaganda and provide accurate, life-saving medical information.For reliable and accurate information regarding AFLDS, please consult our website, AFLDS.org.###&nbsp;About AFLDS&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Corrupt Lawyer Joey Gilbert Resigns in Disgrace from AFLDS Board to Avoid Further Legal Scrutiny 

New Orleans, LA – March 23, 2023On Thursday, March 23, 2023, a federal court ruled in favor of over 8,500 plaintiff federal employees nationwide in their case Feds for Medical Freedom v. Biden.&nbsp;The employees successfully challenged the defendant Biden Administration’s illegal and coercive “Executive Order No. 14043” (federal employee mandate). A copy of the court’s decision is linked <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1679916780/1_Feds_4_Med_Freedom_v_Biden_U_S_Court_of_Appeals_5th_Circuit_Ruling_Mar_23_2023_f1f1a12ba3.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.As we previously reported in our Press Release dated September 2, 2022, Biden’s federal employee mandate required the employees to receive experimental mRNA injections or suffer disciplinary actions including job loss. A copy of our Press Release is linked <a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/about-us/press-releases/aflds-files-brief-in-support-of-thousands-of-federal-workers-in-their-case-against-bidens-mandatory-covid-19-injections " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.Fortunately, a majority of 10 out of 17 judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, sitting en banc, ruled on behalf of the employees. En banc is a French word meaning “on the bench” and it is a rare event, where a case is granted a rehearing by the entire panel of judges. In short, the judges ruled the Biden Administration lacked the constitutional authority to issue the federal employee mandate.America’s Frontline Doctors’ (AFLDS) legal team was proud to assist the employees in this case. To that end, we were happy to file an amicus curiae brief on the employee’s behalf, a copy of which can be found <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1680101946/2_PDF_Feds_4_Med_Freedom_AFLDS_amicus_curiae_brief_Sept_02_2022_d14bf9c610.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.&nbsp;As stated by an AFLDS affiliated attorney, “All Americans can be happy that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting en banc, issued their remarkable opinion on Thursday, completely supporting medical freedom and our constitutional rights to be free of unwanted, unnecessary, and possibly dangerous experimental injections. The Court was very clear that the administration cannot force irreversible medical decisions upon federal employees against their will.”&nbsp;AFLDS applauds and sincerely thanks each of the 10 judges who ruled in favor of the employees. We hope this ruling will prevent government agencies from overstepping their legal bounds in the future. If asked, we will continue to support similar plaintiffs in their legal fight against medical and tyrannical mandates.

Feds for Medical Freedom v. Biden – Federal employees score a huge legal victory against Biden’s mandatory mRNA injections

Galveston Island, TX – February 14, 2023On February 14, 2023, our America’s Frontline Doctors’ (AFLDS) legal team proudly submitted an updated amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal, 2-14-2023, 22-40802, CA5, on appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, (Galveston Division) for Robert L. Apter, et al. v. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), et al., No. 3:22-cv-184 (S.D. Tx., June 2, 2022), 22-40802, CA5. <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1676508436/Apter_M_D_et_al_v_DHHS_et_al_AFLDS_amicus_curiae_brief_02_15_2023_eadc70473f.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here is a link to the complete AFLDS amicus curiae brief</a>.As mentioned in our prior press release, dated Oct. 12, 2022 (at which time we filed our first amicus curiae brief for this case), the complaint&nbsp;was filed in June 2022 by the firm Boyden Gray &amp; Associates PLLC. <a href="https://aflds.org/about-us/press-releases/apter-md-v-dhhs-et-al-aflds-files-brief-in-support-of-a-fearless-group-of-doctors-in-their-lawsuit-against-the-fda-and-ivermectin-mandates" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here is a link to our prior press release</a>Boyden Gray represents the plaintiff group, which consists of three courageous medical freedom fighters, including Dr. Robert L. Apter, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, and Dr. Paul E. Marik. The doctors seek the right to prescribe ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19 while simultaneously reminding the court of their legal right to do so as licensed medical practitioners. Also, notwithstanding being previously threatened with and subjected to professional discipline for prescribing ivermectin, the doctors forge on in their brave legal fight. They are challenging the FDA’s slanderous anti-ivermectin propaganda campaign – an unjustifiable smear campaign which the doctors allege is the primary impetus behind a plethora of hostile threats and attacks levelled against them by colleagues and state medical boards.The doctors state the FDA violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&amp;C Act) by implementing the aggressive (and likely illegal) anti-ivermectin propaganda campaign in an intentional effort to confuse the public and healthcare providers by mocking, deriding, and minimizing the superior medicinal qualities of the 2015 Nobel Prize-winning ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19. The doctors cite multiple sources of flawed and distorted FDA publications that make outlandish claims such as, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it”, and “You should not take any medicine to treat or prevent COVID-19 unless it has been prescribed to you by your health care provider and acquired from a legitimate source.” However, each of the plaintiff doctors have successfully treated thousands of COVID-19 patients during the pandemic with ivermectin.&nbsp;The case, unfortunately, was dismissed on December 6, 2022, by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown, who ruled in favour of the defendant-FDA’s claim of sovereign immunity (meaning the FDA or government is immune from any legal wrongdoing). The doctors filed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and Boyden Gray requested AFLDS’s legal team to file a second, updated amicus curiae&nbsp;brief. We were more than happy to oblige.We at AFLDS disagree with Judge Brown that sovereign immunity can shield the FDA from egregious and likely illegal conduct. We believe the FDA’s relentless anti-ivermectin propaganda campaign not only infringes on doctors’ free speech rights and harms doctors, but it also harms those most in need – the countless numbers of patients who can benefit from the doctor-prescribed, life-saving miracle drug ivermectin. &nbsp; As stated by an AFLDS-affiliated attorney, "It is shocking that in America, critically ill patients were forced to hire attorneys to go to court to obtain access to legal lifesaving medications such as ivermectin, legally prescribed by their doctors. Sadly, many of these patients passed away before their court proceedings were completed. This egregious interference with the practice of medicine and other real-world harms such as the unfair harassment of doctors by their medical boards, is fairly traceable to the illegal FDA propaganda campaign waged against ivermectin and must never be allowed to happen again."&nbsp;Our updated AFLDS amicus curiae brief includes new and compelling ivermectin research and case law that strongly buttresses the doctors’ case, and we hope the Fifth Circuit concurs. AFLDS shall continue to support these remarkably valiant and highly competent doctors, and all other doctors who bravely file lawsuits against constitutional infringements and medical tyranny.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;For reliable and accurate information regarding AFLDS, please consult our website, AFLDS.org.# # #&nbsp;About AFLDS&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Apter, M.D., et al. v. DHHS, et al. – AFLDS files an updated brief in support of a brave group of doctors in their suit against the FDA’s anti-ivermectin propaganda campaign

February 15, 2023Court Rebukes Board for Legal Failures by Wagenmaker Law Firm, Confirms Gold Has a Legitimate Case&nbsp;PHOENIX, Ariz. – A lawsuit brought by the Founder of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) Dr. Simone Gold on behalf of the organization against several rogue board members was strengthened by a brief, but clear decision to deny both the defendants’ attempt to dismiss the suit, and their illegitimate attempt to expand their power and authority. This attempt consisted primarily of these Board members trying to seize control of all AFLDS bank accounts in a clear money grab, along with their bid to hijack control of the AFLDS website and all other assets, in a ploy to force the ejection of Dr. Gold and her entire staff of nearly 50 people. The judge started his decision by noting:“Defendants apparently did not comply with Rule 12(j) before filing the Motion. Defendants are rebuked for not following the rules.”On the Defendants’ Notice to the Judge to expand their authority and control over Dr. Gold, the Judge decided in 12 words to DENY Defendants’ Notice.&nbsp; This failed motion by the Wagenmaker &amp; Oberly law firm and the Board cost AFLDS donors thousands of dollars when a mere mediation between the parties would have potentially resulted in an amicable settlement while preserving valuable donation funds.The Arizona judge further noted that Gold, who was always Chairman of her own board until a disputed discussion about changing her status in early 2022, has provided the court with a legitimate claim that she remains a controlling member:“The sole question before the Court is whether Gold has adequately pled a claim that she is a Director. She has.”This entirely debunks the false and wildly reckless claims by not only Gilbert but hired media hitman Kevin Jenkins on recent news programs, ranting about Gold “losing” the case and being “fired” from her own organization. To the contrary, the judge continued:“Gold has asserted a viable cause of action…If the resignation was conditional, then Gold has a viable claim that she is still a Director…The Complaint alleges that ‘Mack and Matthesius have supported, facilitated, and/or permitted Gilbert’s wrongful acts and attempt to seize control’ of the company. Gold contends that supporting and facilitating fraudulent conduct is itself fraudulent. The Complaint also alleges that Mack and Matthesius failed to act when notified of Gilbert’s alleged wrongdoing. The Complaint claims that Mack and Matthesius failed to investigate Gilbert and failed to act in the best interest of the company. The Complaint further alleges that Mack attempted to pressure Gold into causing AFLDS to donate $2.5M to an event he was organizing.”&nbsp;The court statement concluded:“There have been sufficient facts pled to state a viable cause of action for removal of directors against Mack and Matthesius.”This confirms the claims filed by Gold against Board members Joey Gilbert, Richard Mack, and Jurgen Matthesius are legitimate and serious enough to potentially remove them from their Board positions, and sustains the lawsuit as it proceeds to trial, pending any peaceful discussions to negotiate an amicable resolution. Dr. Gold has continually asked the Board to pursue such a resolution with her in the best interest of the organization, and to honor the donors, staff, and many others who enthusiastically support Dr. Gold’s leadership of AFLDS and the consequential impact of the organization’s efforts since their breakthrough press conference on July 27, 2020.Indeed, AFLDS Physician Liaison Dr. Bryan Atkinson recently submitted a signed letter of support, on behalf of the entire group of nearly 500 frontline doctors known as AFLDS Affiliate Physicians (APs), stating their firm belief that AFLDS would cease to exist without Dr. Gold’s unique and effective leadership.AFLDS is encouraging the public to contact law firm Wagenmaker &amp; Oberly, at <a href="mailto:info@wagenmakerlaw.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">info@WagenmakerLaw.com</a>, urging them to counsel the Board into heeding the Judge’s directive to refrain from any further inflammatory actions, and to swiftly pursue an amicable resolution with Dr. Gold.As the litigation continues, Gold has affirmed her commitment to upholding the AFLDS mission of exposing corruption, along with doing her part to resolve any past disagreements with the Board and to produce a solution that allows AFLDS to not only survive, but flourish under her management as she prepares to launch several new initiatives in the medical freedom arena.&nbsp;&nbsp;For reliable and accurate information regarding AFLDS, please consult our website, AFLDS.org.###About AFLDS&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

AZ Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss Founder’s Lawsuit and Rejects Board’s Attempted Power Grab

February 8, 2023Ill-Advised Board Disregards Judge’s Instruction to Reach Amicable Settlement; Instead Slanders Dr. Gold in Media and Attempts to Terminate StaffNAPLES, Fla. – The Founder of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) Dr. Simone Gold was recently compelled to direct her whistleblowing efforts within her own camp. Upon attempting to resume her leadership of AFLDS after a self-imposed hiatus due to her 2-month prison sentence related to a controversial J6 misdemeanor, she discovered a rogue member on her non-profit board of directors had been misappropriating funds for himself, compromising key growth initiatives, and enacting a hostile takeover in her absence by firing much of her executive staff based on false and deceptive claims.Despite months of repeated efforts by Gold to resolve the issues privately with the entire board and with the participation of executive staff and legal counsel, two board members continually refused. Instead, they took even more foundation funds to appoint themselves “CEO” and “COO”,&nbsp;unnecessary positions that never previously existed at AFLDS because it has an active President and Executive Director. These board members and their recently hired “media hit men” retaliated against Gold by defaming her publicly with false, sensational accusations of embezzlement and improper use of funds for purchases the board “allegedly” never knew or approved. An Arizona Judge recently confirmed that these all these accusations were untrue.The board members admitted to each other in writing that “Dr. Gold would be…correct in her critique that we are doing this just to spite her…” Court records also show the law firm of <a href="https://www.wagenmakerlaw.com/team/sally-wagenmaker">Wagenmaker &amp; Oberly</a> currently representing the Board of Directors through firm partner <a href="mailto:sally@wagenmakerlaw.com?subject=Urge%20AFLDS%20Board%20to%20Support%20Dr.%20Gold">Sally Wagenmaker</a> and Associate Kellye Fabian-Story are actively counseling the board members in their public retaliation against Dr. Gold and their totally irrational termination of ALL&nbsp;active&nbsp;AFLDS employees. Simultaneously, the Wagenmaker firm is irresponsibly causing the cannibalization of hundreds of thousands of donation dollars by not encouraging the Board to reach an amicable settlement in the Arizona litigation.The court now overseeing the dispute also confirmed the obvious facts that AFLDS was created by Dr. Gold, has been operated under her direction ever since, and only exists and succeeds due to her unique and extraordinary abilities, stating:“This company needs to be “fixed,” and it needs to be “fixed” promptly. The parties to this dispute are the only people who can accomplish this.”“Gold continues to have a substantial following from many of the employees of the company…Gold was allowed to continue to be heavily involved in AFLDS’s operations by the [Board of Directors]. The chaos that currently exists with this company has arisen, at least in part, due to Gilbert and Mack’s failure to adequately control the company…the Court seriously questions whether Gilbert and Mack have the skill sets to properly run this non-profit company. The Court is not convinced that Gold is causing irreparable injury to this company. In fact, Gold’s skill set appears to be critical to the survival of AFLDS…Indeed, issuing an injunction against Gold might result in the company going out of business.”Clearly the court is urging the Board to convene with Gold and resolve the issues internally in a manner that facilitates her leadership of AFLDS so the organization will continue to succeed. Gold has brought exceptional results, not only in donations raised but in content and impact delivered, and she has led the organization to a very strong financial position amid historic inflation, incalculable censorship, and constant opposition from government and corporate behemoths. The independent CPA serving as the AFLDS Treasurer has fully documented all financials for the entity including income, assets, and expenditures, and has confirmed this to be the case.Unfortunately, the Board never made any attempts to reach Gold or signal any intent to pursue a mutual resolution. Instead, the very same day the Arizona Court issued their statement, Kevin Jenkins—who’s never had any role or position at AFLDS—appeared on the Board’s behalf on TV news media to misrepresent the Judge’s directive, slandering Dr. Gold as a “liar” and claiming she was “fired” from her own organization. This malicious and reckless behavior was understandably confusing and concerning to the public supporters of AFLDS, forcing Dr. Gold to later appear on another news program to clarify the Judge’s&nbsp;statement. She made a heartfelt appeal with the audience to contact the Board and urge them to follow the Judge’s request for a reconciliation between her and the Board.The Board has completely ignored the strong calls to support Dr. Gold from the entire group of nearly 500 frontline doctors known as AFLDS Affiliate Physicians (APs) including a formal letter submitted by AFLDS Physician Liaison Dr. Bryan Atkinson.AFLDS is encouraging the public to contact <a href="https://www.wagenmakerlaw.com/team/sally-wagenmaker">Wagenmaker &amp; Oberly</a>, urging them to counsel the Board to heed the Judge’s directive to refrain from further inflammatory actions, and swiftly pursue a mutual resolution with Dr. Gold.The litigation of this case is ongoing, and Gold has affirmed her commitment to upholding the AFLDS mission of exposing corruption, along with doing her part to reconvene with the Board and work to resolve any past disagreements and produce a solution that allows AFLDS to not only survive, but flourish under her management as she prepares to launch several new initiatives in the medical freedom arena. Gold’s Attorney Jose Jimenez stated, “The Court’s intention is quite clear, and we’re calling on the Board to honor that and to start acting in good faith, to pursue a mutual resolution that honors the public, supports Dr. Gold and preserves the precious donations made to AFLDS by the American people.”For reliable and accurate information regarding AFLDS, please consult our website, AFLDS.org.###About AFLDS&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Wagenmaker & Oberly Law Firm at Epicenter of Board Actions to Dismantle AFLDS, Contrary to Court Directive

January 30, 2023“The Court seriously questions whether Gilbert and Mack have the skill sets to properly run this non-profit company” – Honorable Timothy J. ThomasonAFLDS Founder Dr. Simone Gold Continues Litigation to Expose Corruption and Retaliation by Board members Joey Gilbert and Richard MackPHOENIX, Ariz. – After nearly 3 years of relentlessly exposing corruption in the medical and government space, the Founder of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) Dr. Simone Gold was compelled to direct her whistleblowing efforts within her own camp. Upon attempting to resume her leadership of AFLDS after a self-imposed leadership hiatus due to her J6 challenges and enduring a 2-month prison sentence related to a controversial J6 misdemeanor, she discovered a rogue Board member and attorney on her non-profit board of directors had been misappropriating funds for himself, more than $100,000, compromising key fundraising initiatives and enacting a hostile takeover in her absence by firing much of her executive staff based on false and deceptive claims.Gold immediately investigated and provided extensive documentation of this theft and corruption to her board and outside counsel, recusing the culprit Joseph Gilbert from his position and urging the board to remove him. Instead, board member Richard Mack accepted a $20,000 payment offer from Board member Gilbert to “become CEO” and “replace Dr. Gold” and they then filed a lawsuit against Gold in federal court in Florida. Their complaint was full of demonstrably false and defamatory allegations and was subsequently dismissed by the Judge. Dr. Gold then filed a countersuit in Arizona against Gilbert and Mack. The AZ judge’s written statement following a recent court hearing exposes&nbsp;alarming deception and misconduct by both Gilbert and Mack. Gilbert publicly slandered Gold with accusations that she embezzled non-profit funds and purchased a private home and vehicles without Board knowledge or approval; but the court unequivocally determined this was doubly false—the assets were all purchased by the non-profit for legitimate business operations, and the board was completely aware and supportive from the beginning, starting with Gilbert himself, who in fact suggested and facilitated the purchases.Further, Gilbert secretly pressured the AFLDS Treasurer to pay him additional monies above his already exorbitant salary. In this regard, the court stated “the pay increase was not handled properly and should not have occurred. A hallway conversation is not the proper way to increase a corporate officer’s pay. The manner in which Gilbert increased his pay does smell of self-dealing.” The court continued&nbsp;“Gilbert is apparently still being paid $20,000 per month from AFLDS. It is not at all clear why the company decided to pay Mack an additional $20,000 per [month] to be President. It is far from clear to the Court what Mack’s role in the company is. He does not appear to have any corporate managerial experience…paying Mack and Gilbert a total of $40,000 per month appears to the Court to be greatly excessive. Gilbert and Mack contend that they are in charge and control of the company. Yet, it has been on their watch that the company’s operations have spiraled into chaos.”Indeed, instead of acknowledging his misconduct and participating in a sensible resolution when confronted by the AFLDS Executive Director and then by Dr. Gold, Gilbert retaliated by aggressively defaming Gold, corruptly using AFLDS resources to employ Richard Mack to attack Gold’s character, greatly harming the reputation of AFLDS and endangering its survival and future success. Gilbert admitted to Mack in writing that “Dr. Gold would be…correct in her critique that we are doing this just to spite her…”In addition to pointing out these highly inappropriate and malicious acts by Gilbert and Mack, the court also confirmed the obvious facts that AFLDS was created by Dr. Gold, has been operated under her direction ever since, and only exists and succeeds due to her unique and extraordinary abilities, stating:“Gold continues to have a substantial following from many of the employees of the company…Gold was allowed to continue to be heavily involved in AFLDS’s operations by the [Board of Directors]. The chaos that currently exists with this company has arisen, at least in part, due to Gilbert and Mack’s failure to adequately control the company…the Court seriously questions whether Gilbert and Mack have the skill sets to properly run this non-profit company. The Court is not convinced that Gold is causing irreparable injury to this company. In fact,&nbsp;Gold’s skill set appears to be critical to the survival of AFLDS.”This sentiment from the Court further demonstrates the dishonesty of Gilbert and the defamation promoted on his behalf by sensationalist Stew Peters and suspicious actor Kevin Jenkins, responding to the Court’s statement by falsely claiming “Dr. Gold is fired from AFLDS”, further confusing and disheartening the public, which clearly shares the Court’s understanding that Gold is the heart and soul of AFLDS, and continues to enthusiastically support her continued leadership of the organization, and her current endeavors to expose corruption in the world’s public health bureaucracies.The litigation of this case is ongoing, and Gold has affirmed her commitment to upholding the AFLDS mission of exposing corruption, including that found within the Board of her own organization. “We are still operating normally as an organization, and the Court did not issue preliminary injunctive relief to either side, so I will continue to advance the AFLDS mission as we continue this lawsuit,” Gold stated. Dr. Gold’s Attorney Jose Jimenez added, “the Court’s findings make it clear that Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Mack have been ethically compromised and have been proven to be operationally incapable of leading AFLDS, making it untenable to allow these men to remain on the Board while maintaining the integrity of AFLDS as an organization.” For reliable and accurate information regarding AFLDS, please consult our website, AFLDS.org.###&nbsp;About AFLDS&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Judge Exposes Deceptive and Retaliatory Acts by Rogue Board Members Gilbert and Mack

AFLDS President & Directors Hold Press Conference to Refute Defamatory Claims

January 9, 2023&nbsp;Disgraced Board Member Being Sued by AFLDS in Arizona Over Gross Mismanagement and Malfeasance at AFLDS, but Claiming to Hold Press Conferences on Their Behalf&nbsp;&nbsp;NAPLES, Fla – It has come to the attention of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) and Dr. Gold that defendant Joseph “Joey” Gilbert, who is claiming to represent AFLDS, has scheduled a “Press Conference Demanding Answers in Deaths of Young Athletes in Las Vegas” today, January 10, 2023. The plaintiff AFLDS and Dr. Gold have sued defendant and Board member, Joey Gilbert, for his gross mismanagement and malfeasance and are awaiting a hearing at the end of January. This faux “press conference” follows similar attempts by the defendant Gilbert to give the appearance of authority by posing as AFLDS in other faux press conferences and press releases, claiming to request meetings with the NFL, and making other false and defamatory statements against the legitimate leader, Dr. Gold of AFLDS.&nbsp;&nbsp;The bona fide AFLDS organization and Dr. Gold strongly dispute the claims of defendant Gilbert and his attempts to represent AFLDS at this faux “press conference”. AFLDS strongly emphasizes to the public that while the case of Gold and AFLDS vs. Gilbert is currently pending, the position of AFLDS is that defendant Gilbert and his surrogates do not properly speak for, nor have the best interests in mind of, AFLDS as a whole and for its employees and its worldwide audience. Today’s host and surrogate Kevin Jenkins, purported “Oversight Committee” chair, who has never had any official position at AFLDS, is merely head of a faux committee engineered by Gilbert following the lawsuit against him.&nbsp;For reliable and accurate information regarding AFLDS, please consult our website, AFLDS.org.&nbsp;&nbsp;###&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;About AFLDS&nbsp;&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Rogue Lawyer and Disgraced Board Member Continues Ploy to Represent AFLDS with Publicity Stunts

December 9, 2022&nbsp;Coronavirus Committee Still Using Disproven Disinformation to Intimidate Doctors Serving Patients and the Public&nbsp;WASHINGTON, D.C. – Never known for their apologies, the bureaucratic class in Washington instead doubled down on disinformation; a necessary term given the abundance of past and current evidence completely debunking the claims they continue to use as obvious political weapons in trying to intimidate and silence dissident voices in the medical and scientific communities. The “Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis” issued a press release today announcing the release of their final report, which they promise “reveals new findings,” only to sorely disappoint with a hemorrhage of erroneous partisan propaganda, now two years stale.&nbsp;This is the same committee that directly targeted America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) more than a year ago on October 29, 2021, with an aggressive letter threatening the non-profit dedicated to serving the public during the stressful advent of the coronavirus chaos, accusing them of “endangering American lives and harming our efforts to stop the spread of the virus” and “erod[ing] public confidence in proven treatments and prevent[ing] measures and hinder[ing] efforts to control the pandemic.” Ominous allegations, to be sure.&nbsp;They didn’t stop there. Clearly unencumbered by any obligation to factual data, they charged ahead with outright lies, alleging that AFLDS “endangers public health and fuels vaccine hesitancy by promoting the false ideas that coronavirus vaccines are unsafe and ineffective”—even while vaccine deaths and harms are exploding with newly released data showing up to 10 million adverse events per month reported to VAERS during 2021, and every health baron from Fauci on down has been forced to admit the shots are incapable of preventing disease or transmission, and the overwhelming majority of hospitalizations are of the vaccinated. The committee further claimed that AFLDS also endangers the public by informing them “that alternative drugs can prevent or cure coronavirus infections”— with not only thousands of direct testimonials to indicate this fact, but also over 300 verified studies confirming the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in treating coronavirus infections.&nbsp;The “final report” was nothing more than a predictable recycling of these lies in a laundry list of political jabs blaming every negative circumstance on President Trump, and inexplicably claiming some sort of subsequent victory for the Biden administration. The brazen dishonesty of these government officials only solidifies the urgency of Dr. Simone Gold’s recent pronouncement as she was honored with a humanitarian award, stating “We must Drain the Science Swamp”, a reflection of widespread public distrust in government institutions and public health officials and a growing awareness of their rampant corruption and malfeasance.&nbsp;###&nbsp;&nbsp;About AFLDS&nbsp;&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Congressional Committee That Threatened AFLDS Releases Final Report of Now-Debunked Propaganda

December 6, 2022&nbsp;Court Grants Dr. Gold’s Motion to Dismiss of Defamatory Lawsuit, Citing Failure to Meet Burden of ProofFORT MYERS, Fla. – A Federal Judge issued a 13-page ruling today, granting Dr. Simone Gold’s motion to dismiss a wildly accusatory lawsuit brought by rogue attorney and now-disgraced former America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) director Joseph “Joey” Gilbert. The lawsuit failed on several jurisdictional points, with the judge declaring “Plaintiffs failed to provide enough information” to reach their burden of proof in meeting the required elements. Today’s dismissal in Federal Court is a substantial step in exposing Gilbert’s fraud and exonerating Gold’s continued sacrificial efforts in leading AFLDS to champion medical freedom and civil liberties.&nbsp;Gilbert and other derelict Board members now face a countersuit filed by Gold and AFLDS in state court in Arizona (where AFLDS was incorporated) to intervene and make a determination of the organization’s legitimate management. The countersuit provides significant documentation and context which exposes both demonstrably false claims in the now-dismissed initial complaint, and an alarming hostile takeover attempt by Gilbert that threatens the reputation and survival of AFLDS going forward. A hearing on the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) motion brought by Gold will be held by the Judge next week to determine if Gold and AFLDS can stabilize their operations to the previous “status quo” while the court makes a final decision on management control.&nbsp;While this dispute remains in further litigation, Gold has limited her comments on the matter, but she continues to work tirelessly, assuring the many supporters of AFLDS across the nation that “AFLDS remains in pursuit of its mission to provide the public with accurate and independent information in support of health and human rights.”&nbsp;A relentless opponent of corruption, the continued attacks against Gold serve to further highlight her effectiveness as a national leader in pushing back against the bureaucracy and advocating for medical freedom and scientific independence. “We will Drain the Science Swamp” and “provide an antidote to the CDC” Gold announced as she was recently honored with a “Mothers of Influence” award by a national non-profit organization at Mar-a-Lago in southeast Florida, alongside fellow honorees Kari Lake, John Rich, and Glenn Beck.&nbsp;###&nbsp;&nbsp;About AFLDS&nbsp;&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Federal Judge Tosses Lawsuit Filed by Rogue Lawyer Against Dr. Simone Gold as President of AFLDS 

December 4, 2022&nbsp;Moms For America Honors Dr. Gold with Award Alongside John Rich, Kari Lake, Glenn Beck, Linda McMahon&nbsp;&nbsp;PALM BEACH, Fla. – An inspiring awards ceremony at Mar-a-Lago resort on Sunday afternoon was centered around the unique role of mothers in upholding the nuclear family, fostering patriotism, and preserving American liberty. Moms For America (MFA), a non-profit organization dedicated to family values and constitutional freedom, honored several national leaders with a “Mothers of Influence” award including Kari Lake, Dr. Simone Gold, Linda McMahon, and Pam Tebow. TV and Radio personality Glenn Beck and country music star John Rich were also presented with awards for efforts in defending freedom and family values.&nbsp;The mood was positive and yet purposeful, with frank acknowledgement of the serious assaults on American freedom and values currently bringing the nation into a season of historic crisis, and with each honoree sharing past experiences of the parental influences that helped to shape their own character and the resulting impact they were able to have on the culture. Vocalist Mary Millburn opened the event with a soaring rendition of The Star Spangled Banner that was truly remarkable and brought an early standing ovation from the audience of over 500 people.&nbsp;Gold was both gracious and fervent in her remarks, quickly bringing the audience to their feet once again as she announced the upcoming mission of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) in 2023 to “drain the Science Swamp!” and provide “an antidote to the CDC” amidst the rampant corruption and mistrust of current public health institutions. She thanked MFA President Kimberly Fletcher for recognizing the urgency of constitutional attacks earlier than most, founding MFA in 2004, and urged everyone present to fully engage in renewed efforts to influence the culture and institutional powers for the preservation of civil liberties.&nbsp;Lake described the intensity found in a mother’s intrinsic protection of her children, and how this was the driving force behind her recent rise to stardom in the political realm. Rich also spoke with authority, describing flagrant attacks on the innocence and development of children in the public school system, and specifically recognized Dr. Gold as a marquee example of sacrifice in choosing to defend human rights and family values at all costs.&nbsp;AFLDS and GoldCare™ Health &amp; Wellness were both sponsors of the event, which generated further financial support of MFA, and continued the critical momentum of educating and empowering families across the country to raise both current and future generations of Americans with the essential values and liberties that created “the greatest nation in the history of the world.”&nbsp;###&nbsp;&nbsp;About AFLDS&nbsp;&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Family Values Non-Profit Honors AFLDS President Dr. Simone Gold with Mothers of Influence Award

The Other Side of the Story: Meticulous Complaint Exposes Shocking Corruption Campaign by Joey GilbertNAPLES, Fla. – As promised, the sensationalized claims of financial improprieties recently cast against America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) and its Founder and President Dr. Simone Gold were shown to be not only false but blatantly manipulated to create a malicious attack against the renowned medical and civil rights champion.Rogue board member and attorney Joseph “Joey” Gilbert, whose pattern of corruption across multiple arenas has recently been rising to the surface in numerous reports, filed a frivolous lawsuit against Gold in federal court several weeks ago, and apparently in the wrong venue, which failed to meet certain basic requirements for urgent consideration and disposition, thereby prompting the federal judge’s denial of Gilbert’s attempted Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) action and subsequent scheduling of a review to further consider jurisdictional concerns.But Gilbert’s malfeasance was not limited to legal technicalities, as shown by a subsequent lawsuit just filed by AFLDS against Gilbert, a now-disgraced former AFLDS director, which is a detailed account of his treacherous activities stretching back nearly a year and most recently while Gold was indisposed for several months this summer. The complaint, properly filed in state court in Arizona where AFLDS was originally incorporated, reads like an intelligence agency espionage report. The sustained deception and sabotage of Gilbert’s actions are disturbing. Although previously assumed to be a person supporting medical freedom, his checkered past includes numerous indications of cheating and ethical breaches, leading to a predictable temptation to act corruptly in a position of trust and leadership. Tragically, he followed through on that tendency with extensive and appalling misconduct, greatly harming Gold and many others at AFLDS, as well as unfairly harming the life-saving mission of the organization, and the millions across the world who benefit from and support it.Comparisons to another corrupt lawyer have been noted, correlating the slanderous projection and self-destructive trajectory of Gilbert’s slide to the spectacular implosion and demise of Michael Avenatti, leading to Gilbert’s recent moniker of “Avenatti-Lite”, a reference to his history of cheating in professional boxing and other ethical breaches.While the dispute remains in litigation, Gold has limited her comment on the matter pending further court action, but she continues to assure the public and the many supporters of AFLDS across the nation that “AFLDS remains in pursuit of its mission to provide the public with accurate and independent information related to science, medicine, and civil liberties.” Attorney Jose Jimenez added “the facts are clear and fully documented, and we are confident the legal process will fully exonerate Dr. Gold as AFLDS’ President and courageous leader and allow AFLDS to continue its critical mission of saving lives and preserving our civil liberties.”###About AFLDSAmerica's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

AFLDS and Dr. Simone Gold File Countersuit Against Rogue Lawyer Attempting Hostile Takeover of Non-Profit

A Step in the Right Direction: Florida Judge Denies Plaintiff Joey Gilbert’s Request in Dubious LawsuitNAPLES, Fla. – a status conference held today revealed that all is not what it appears in a wildly accusatory legal complaint filed against AFLDS Founder and President, Dr. Simone Gold.The plaintiff Joseph “Joey” Gilbert was seeking “immediate relief” with a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Dr. Gold, which would effectively block her from leading the non-profit she founded in 2020 that has continually served the American public and the world throughout the disinformation campaign surrounding the coronavirus panic. Federal District Court Judge Sheri Polster Chappell refused to grant the plaintiff’s request. She also required a further hearing to consider the defendant’s Motion To Dismiss (MTD) based on jurisdictional and statutory errors made by plaintiff Gilbert. Gilbert’s initial legal complaint is founded on several demonstrably false claims, which AFLDS counsel noted in the hearing, as well as pointing out that the plaintiff, an attorney himself, was recently sanctioned by a Nevada judge for filing a previous frivolous lawsuit that contained a “fundamental lack of evidence.”While this dispute is in litigation, Gold has limited her comment on the matter pending further court action, but she continues to assure the public and the many supporters of AFLDS across the nation that “AFLDS remains in pursuit of its mission to provide the public with accurate and independent information related to science, medicine, and civil liberties.” She also shared “We will continue to present the evidence and the facts, which will refute all the baseless and outrageous allegations made by the plaintiff in their lawsuit. Our legal counsel made strong arguments in our motion to dismiss hearing which we believe will be persuasive to the Court. We are confident that we will eventually prevail in this legal matter, and we are maintaining our dedication to furthering the AFLDS objective of serving our nation’s citizens and medical professionals.”No stranger to political, media, and legal opposition, Gold recently overcame a controversial prison term resulting from the political persecution of citizens associated with the January 6 event, and these latest attacks only continue to highlight her effectiveness as a national leader in pushing back against the bureaucracy and advocating for medical freedom and scientific independence. “We must Drain The Science Swamp” Gold proclaimed at a recent appearance, reflecting widespread public distrust of government institutions and public health officials and a growing awareness of their rampant corruption and malfeasance.###About AFLDSAmerica's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.

Federal Judge Refuses To Grant Temporary Restraining Order Against Dr. Simone Gold, AFLDS President

November 14, 2022 – AFLDS President and Board Chairman Dr. Simone Gold Remains Uncompromising Despite Defamatory Lawsuit Based on Demonstrably False ClaimsNAPLES, Fla. – a stalwart mother of two boys who spoke out against lockdowns and in support of safe early treatment, later proven to save lives during the coronavirus pandemonium, became the Founder, President, and Board Chairman of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS), and this “America’s Doctor” has been both beloved and viciously attacked ever since.After being fired simultaneously from two hospitals where she had given exemplary service, for safely prescribing approved medications to patients stricken with the coronavirus and speaking accurately to the public, she nevertheless continued to spread a message of hope and healing, with thousands of lives saved and benefited by her persistence. Dr. Gold has received tens of thousands of testimonies confirming this.A dubious media outlet then published a fraudulent story claiming Gold was implicated in a data breach threatening the security of telemedicine patients. Despite the breach being a complete fabrication later debunked by a cybersecurity audit, and despite Gold not actually being a part of the telemedicine company, this bogus story was nevertheless used as the sole justification for government threats against her and incited a deluge of further defamatory media pressure. She ignored it all, pressing forward to continue serving the American people.The fake story tactic is now being repeated with a fraudulent lawsuit filed as a pretext to defame her character and distract from her mission; this comes on the heels of her overcoming a politically motivated and highly vindictive 60-day prison sentence for a January 6 misdemeanor plea, only to find on her return from prison that AFLDS had been hijacked in a hostile takeover attempt in her absence. Once again, she refuses to be silenced or sidetracked from the critical work of AFLDS.In response to hostile takeover actions intended to defame and remove Gold from the humanitarian organization she founded, AFLDS Physician Liaison Dr. Bryan Atkinson said “I represent over 500 medical professionals who are proud to call themselves America’s Frontline Doctors, and I can state emphatically not a single one of these professionals sought to affiliate with our organization because of…any board member. Dr. Simone Gold IS America’s Frontline Doctors. It is laughable and pathetic to think the organization is sustainable without her.”As this dispute is still in litigation, Gold has declined further comment on the matter pending court action but she unequivocally confirms the substantive claims in the lawsuit are false, and assured the public and the many supporters of AFLDS across the nation that “AFLDS continues to operate in pursuit of its mission to provide the public with accurate and independent information related to science, medicine, and civil liberties…We must Drain The Science Swamp.” She urges everyone to support the #WeWantGold legal defense to defeat the recent attacks.&nbsp;###About AFLDS&nbsp;America's Frontline Doctors is the nation's independent authority on ethical and transparent standards in science, health, and human rights.
