Gold is a real piece of work. She's become infamous pushing anti-vaxx nonsense, and founded America's Frontline Doctors, which...
...describes itself as a “non-partisan” group of medical professionals. But it originated as a right-wing political organization, and since its founding has consistently spread medical misinformation.

Dr. Simone Gold's board certification in emergency medicine (listed under her maiden name Tizes) expired in December 2020, but she was still a licensed physician in the state of California (her license listed her professional address as a UPS shipping store in Beverly Hills).

Gold, who according to her America's Frontline Doctors Facebook page, lost her job as an emergency room physician at a California hospital early during the pandemic for prescribing an unnamed medication to a Kaiser patient in the Los Angeles area, moved to Naples, Florida, earlier this year. She set up an online telehealth clinic called GoldCare.

However, on July 22, 2021, she did manage to receive a Florida medical license.
She’s not practicing yet, though. That’s because she’s been in prison since July 26, serving a 60-day sentence at the Federal Detention Center in Miami imposed after she pleaded guilty to trespassing into a restricted building -- the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.
The Florida Health Department issued Gold’s medical license after reviewing the records in her case, according to a transcript of her June 16 sentencing hearing. The health department's press office did not respond to requests for comment.

But trouble is brewing for Gold.
America's Frontline Doctors is suing one of its founders in a battle for control over the controversial group...
The organization and its current board chairman have sued Simone Gold, MD, alleging that she misused the nonprofit organization's funds to buy a $3.6 million Florida mansion, purchase a Mercedes-Benz and other luxury vehicles, and take trips on private planes.
