A House probe launched in October is investigating America’s Frontline Doctors and other organizations for allegedly “spreading misinformation and facilitating access to disproven and potentially hazardous coronavirus treatments, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin,” ABC News reports.
ABC News quoted Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) about the incident, saying, “Attempts to monetize coronavirus misinformation have eroded public confidence in proven treatments and prevention measures and hindered efforts to control the pandemic.”
Clyburn is an old red diaper baby.
