Simone Gold, a Beverly Hills doctor who pushed Trump’s favorite COVID-19 drug, trapped in Capitol riots

A Beverly Hills doctor who publicly criticized the coronavirus vaccine and defended hydroxychloroquine as a treatment against the deadly virus was arrested in connection with the Capitol disturbances.

Dr. Simone Gold, 55, was among the three Los Angeles residents who were arrested on Monday in connection with the insurrection. Gina Bisignano, the 52-year-old owner of Gina’s Eyelashes and Skincare, and John Strand, 37, also face charges.

Gold attracted national attention in July, when he organized a press conference on the steps of the US Supreme Court to condemn pandemic blockades and rave about how “hydroxychloroquine works” as a treatment for COVID-19.
