The 4 physician groups leading the political anti-vax movement
The Big 4: The Great Barrington Declaration, America's Frontline Doctors, The Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, and the Unity Project
The Great Barrington Declaration (GBD)
The GBD was the proposed pro-economy anti-public health policy in the early pandemic with ties to the Koch Industries (via the linked AIER, Brownstown Insutitute, Hillsdale College) that found a welcome ear with then-president Trump.

The GBD was authored by:
Jay Bhattacharya, the professor of medicine at Stanford University, research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, director of Stanford's Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging - contributor to the GBD-tied Brownstone Institute
Martin Kulldorff, the former professor of medicine at Harvard University - contributor to the GBD-tied Brownstone Institute
Sunetra Gupta, the epidemiologist at the University of Oxford - contributor to the GBD-tied Brownstone Institute
The GBD was signed at a summit hosted by the American Institute of Economic Research (AIER) a libertarian think tank with a history of climate change denial. The policy is further aided by Scott Atlas, the Robert Wesson Senior Fellow in health care policy at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University and a fellow at Hillsdale College's Academy for Science and Freedom - contributor to the GBD-tied Brownstone Institute.
Authors Bhattacharya and Kulldorff have been posting increasingly violent imagery reflected in harassment of physicians (see Nuremberg threats at the AB2098 hearing from their civilian supporters).
America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD)
America’s Frontline Doctors is an anti-vaccine, pro-hydroxychloroquine group formed by ER physician and lawyer Simone Gold during the Trump administration that based clinical recommendations off of controversial physician Dr. Stella Immanuel’s unproven claims.
AFLD has pressured medical boards to ‘let it slide when doctors spread covid misinformation’ and ambushed Medical Board of CA president Kristina Lawson in the parking garage of her office in addition to flying a drone over her house in December 2021.
Gold pled guilty to her attendance at the 1/6 insurrection in March 2022 and faces up to six months in jail, yet still has her medical license and is currently on the ‘AWAKEN’ pro-Trump tour with Roger Stone and Mike Flynn (association: Q-anon).

Florida-based AFLD physician Dr. Kathleen Ann Cullen has been stripped of her state licenses (FL, NC).
Frontline Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC)
The Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) is an anti-vaccine pro-ivermectin group that based clinical recommendations off Egyptian studies found to have plagiarism and data-forging issues.
The group was founded by:
Pierre Kory MD, MA (Unity Project)
Keith Berkowitz MD, MBA (Unity Project)
Kory testified in December 2020 on behalf of the FLCCC calling ivermectin a “wonder drug” to protect against Covid infection, caught Covid in November 2021, and has since pivoted to long-Covid concierge medicine treatments with the unproven treatment (NEJM, ABC). Despite this, Kory participated in Ron Johnson’s ‘2nd Opinion’ panel Jan 2022 with the Unity Project’s McCullough and Malone.

The FLCCC provider database lists 2,697 providers worldwide including clinical advisors:
Scott Mitchell MBChB
Eivind H. Vinjevoll MD
Mary Talley Bowden MD
The Houston-based ENT physician, owner of BreatheMD
Houston Methodist has suspended her privileged and reported her to the Texas medical boards
Has referred to the physician group No License for Disinformation as the ‘Gestapo’ (NLFD’s Dr. Nick Sawyer testified in support of CA bill AB2098 to classify the spread of disinformation as unprofessional conduct by physicians and surgeons)
Has harassed pharmacists who won’t fill her ivermectin prescriptions, going as far as to post the home address of a pharmacist online
Posted SurveyMonkey and Qualtrics survey links to the ‘PROVES’ study (endorsed by Steve Kirsch, IRB is held by hormone PhD researcher Aditi Bhargava of the Unity Project) on anti-vaccine political Twitter threads
The FLCCC sponsors Defeat the Mandates.

The Unity Project
The physician group that opposes Covid mandates for ‘healthy children’ lists the following physicians and scientists on their ‘Strategic Advisory Council’:
Robert Malone MD
-Overstated his role in mRNA vaccine development
-Active on Substack with increasingly violent imagery like the GBD authors
-Participated in Johnson’s ‘2nd Opinion’ panel, states that “Senator Ron Johnson is a Truth Warrior and COVID hero” and supports his reelection
-Has appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast
Peter McCullough MD, MPH
-Baylor has filed a restraining order against their controversial former employee
-Has taken $2.1million from pharmacology companies (non-research) since 2014 including from AstraZeneca per OpenPayments, despite calling pro-vaccine doctors grifters
-Has a long history of failing to disclose financial ties, dating back to 2012
-Participated in Johnson’s ‘2nd Opinion’ panel
-Has appeared on the Chinese Falun-Gong cult affiliated pro-Trump Epoch Times with Roman Balmakov
-Has appeared with Hillsdale College, the politically-active Christian school
-Has appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast
Aditi Bhargava PhD
-The UCSF hormone researcher with stated goal to “understand the sex-specific molecular and cellular actions of the stress hormones and their receptors that operate in health and disease”
-Holds the IRB for the Steve Kirsch-endorsed ‘PROVES’ study to do survey research on vaccine safety (already proven) - the survey contains many questions on hormones and gender and sneaks in questions on the vaccine, raising concerns for study ethics and informed consent of participants
-Dr. Mary Bowden has recruited for this study on antivax Twitter threads

I've worked as an information and referral specialist for 30 years, connecting people who are newly diagnosed with local, regional, and national sources of information, education, and support.
My views on vaccines was neutral until I met my first vaccine victim, a university student who was hospitalized and suffered brain damage following a Hep B vaccine. She wasn't alone, there was one other student who suffered same outcome suggesting a bad batch. She wasn't able to continue her education.
Since that time, our 16 year old, healthy granddaughter who received two C19 vaccinations and the booster developed T1DM (1/400) in December '21.
And most sadly, my husband who got the Janssen vaccination in May '21 with a clean CT scan before and two weeks after his C19 vaccination, died from neuroendocrine tumors of pancreas & liver, (1/million), a rare fast growing cancer 10 months post vaccination. Married 40 years. I miss him so much.
Those doctors you're going after...are my heros. They're saving lives every day. And some of them, including Pierre Kory, have been publishing in the medical literature for decades.
We've had early treatment protocols that work for C19 since March '20. And they work for the vaccinated too, not just the unvaccinated. Beginning in December '20, whenever a family member or friend developed C19 symptoms and tested positive, I provided them with the FLCCC's early treatment protocol and they all came through it fine, including our daughter-in-law whose oxygen levels were dropping.
That vaccine isn't helping everyone. Some have experienced adverse events, injuries, permanent disabilities, or, like my husband, death. He was perfectly healthy prior to getting his C19 vaccine. I'm now fighting to find a way to keep the home we've shared for 27 years.
After what our family has been through, I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable taking a vaccine again. And I fail to understand why anyone would take it, especially our babies and children, now that we know that the C19 vaccines neither prevents infection or transmission of C19 to others.
I'm the only one in my family who's not vaccinated. I live in fear we're going to lose more family members. My understanding is that the pharmaceutical industry expects us to take a total of 6 of these C19 vaccines each.
What distresses me the most is that the vaccine concentrates in the ovaries and testes (Pfizer's distribution study, Japan). We have three granddaughters, and one grandson. I'd like to have great grandchildren one day. But that may not happen now.
In my lifetime, I've seen a good healthcare system suffer increasingly from corruption by the pharmaceutical industry over and over again.
Our family has always emphasized following a healthy lifestyle. Only my husband had to take medication for long standing hypertension. I would never consider working with a doctor who emphasizes pharmaceutical products over a healthy lifestyle. You're just starting out in you're medical career and you're already on the pharmaceutical band wagon which is unfortunate, because most of your patients will, initially at least, prefer pills to leading a healthy lifestyle. See where that leads, especially for those with diabetes. That last decade for those folks is awful...chronic heart failure, dialysis, amputations. Fun stuff.
Allison, why don't you debate me on a public zoom call? I've got a huge audience. I'll make you famous for taking me down.
After all, misinformation kills, right?
