A network of right-wing medical providers has been hauling in "vast sums
of money" from its promotion of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and
other unproven treatments for the novel coronavirus, according to a new
report from The Intercept.

The Intercept obtained hacked data showing that America's Frontline
Doctors -- a Trump-promoted group that released a video last year
featuring a doctor infamous for claiming that demons are impregnating
human women -- has been "working in tandem with a small network of
health care companies to sow distrust in the Covid-19 vaccine, dupe tens
of thousands of people into seeking ineffective treatments for the
disease, and then sell consultations and millions of dollars' worth of
those medications."

In total, the data show that patients have spent at least $15 million
combined for consultations and medications promoted by the group.

America's Frontline Doctors was founded by Simone Gold, an anti-vaxx
doctor who has been accused by other medical professionals of selling
"junk" to unsuspecting victims.

Dr. Kolina Koltai, who researches vaccine misinformation at the
University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public, tells The
Intercept that the hacked data show that "misinformation can be really
powerful to swindle people into buying products" while warning that
"America's Frontline Doctors are able to scale this up massively."
