Meet Dr. Jeffrey Barke.

He is today’s #ADoctorADay that needs to be held accountable for spreading dangerous and deadly #Covid19 disinformation.

We need everyone to:
•Share this info
•Properly report him to the appropriate Medical Boards

#NoLicenseForDisinformation
As a co-founder of the original group that later became known as America’s Frontline Doctors, Dr. Jeffrey Barke was one of the first doctors to publicly downplay Covid, hype Hydroxychloroquine and push back against public health measures.

Below you’ll find a few instances of Dr. Jeffrey Barke abusing his status as a health care provider by spreading blatant disinformation.

His behavior has been so egregious that he was given his own hashtag (which you’ll see in the linked tweets) over a year ago.
As a co-founder of the group A Doctor A Day, Dr. Barke was one of the doctors behind the letter urging Trump to end #Covid19 shutdowns, calling them a “mass casualty event”.

Dr. Jeff Barke has been Dr. Simone Gold’s right hand man since the very beginning.
By early May 2020, Dr. Jeff Barke was working with discredited doctor Dan Erickson & the soon-to-be infamous Dr. Simone Gold, spreading disinformation & encouraging a rapid reopening of the economy.

Unknown to the public at the time, they had been recruited by the Trump campaign
Dr. Barke wasn’t present at the infamous White Coat Summit in July 2020, which has allowed him to escape national attention and notoriety.

While he’s managed to fly under the radar outside of Southern California, locally he’s very well known for pushing #Covid19 disinformation.
During a livestream with another well-known Orange County anti-masker, Dr. Jeffrey Barke pulled out a handgun and said:

“I’d rather see somebody carrying a concealed than masking up. I think that’s better for the public than anything.”

Dr. Jeffrey Barke may be a founding member of the group we now know as America’s Frontline Doctors, but he never worked on the frontlines of the pandemic.

He is a concierge doctor who misrepresented anecdotes as evidence after treating just three patients for #Covid19.
In June 2020, Dr. Barke helped assemble an “expert panel” to provide “guidance and recommendations” for OC schools to reopen.

Of the 11 panelists, 5 were doctors who were associated with America’s Frontline Doctors.

They voted to reopen without meeting safety guidelines.
Dr. Jeffrey Barke often took advantage of his public platform and his position as a health care provider to encourage parents to disenroll their children from public schools and send them to charter schools, never missing an opportunity to plug the new charter school he founded.
While this should be considered a huge conflict of interest, as a founder of both the original America’s Frontline Doctors group and a new charter school, Dr. Jeffrey Barke appeared to be weaponizing #Covid19 disinformation in an effort to boost enrollment his new charter school.
America’s Frontline Doctors recently filed a lawsuit to rescind the Emergency Use Authorization that allows children 12-16 to receive the Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine.

AFLDS is pushing vaccine disinformation in an attempt to take away a parent’s right to vaccinate their child.
Dr. Barke has continued his disinformation campaign throughout the pandemic, with most of his focus on downplaying the risk of Covid in children.

This week he went even further, reposting a flyer for an anti-vaxx protest, organized by nurses, outside of a children’s hospital.
If you want to see doctors who spread #COVID19 disinformation held accountable by the medical board, we need you to get involved!

Dr. Simone Gold, founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, is one of the most prolific superspreaders of disinformation.

She has abused her status as a trusted health care professional, with no consequences, for far too long.

🗣 ACTION ITEM

Throughout the #COVID19 crisis we have seen a substantial increase in deliberate disinformation being perpetuated by doctors who are abusing their status as trusted healthcare providers.

It’s time to push back en masse.

#NoLicenseForDisinformation DOCTORS WHO ABUSE THEIR STA...
We need everyone to help identify and report doctors who have:

• Downplayed the seriousness of Covid-19
• Denied the effectiveness of masks
• Pushed unproven and/or ineffective treatment and medications
• Shared conspiracy theories about vaccines

#NoLicenseForDisinformation
Doctors who have engaged in spreading deadly Covid-19 related disinformation have faced virtually no consequences so far.

It is unacceptable to allow these doctors to continue eroding the public’s trust by spreading harmful and deadly disinformation.

After reading the indictment against Alan Hostetter, Russ Taylor and the III%er’s, I’ve been wondering if there was a connection beyond the Telegram group they used to communicate.

I had a feeling that they may also share a connection to a certain pastor.

Turns out, they do.
🧵
Pastor Tim Thompson of 412 Church Murrieta, who also hosts Our Watch, is a regular fixture on the right-wing rally scene.

Sometimes he’s buttoned up in a suit or blazer, other times he’s spotted in a vest with III% patches, but he consistently spouts off conspiracy theories.
2/
At a rally in Riverside on May 5, 2020, Pastor Tim repeatedly mentions the term “three percent” while referencing the Revolutionary War.

He also implores pastors to “man up” by citing the Black Robe Regiment, a group of preachers who were strapped and “ready to go to work!”

Patriot Takes is soliciting donations to “continue their work exposing the far-right”.

Scrolling through Parler and posting video clips and screenshots to Twitter is not “exposing the far-right”.

It’s a shameless attempt to profit off of outrage.

1/
🧵
Seriously, look at the content they post and link their donation page to.

They’re asking you to pay them to post racist memes. They’re asking you to pay them to amplify hate.

I’m only going to repost one tweet. I don’t want to boost them but they’ve done this repeatedly.

2/ Image
This isn’t just a side-hustle where they link to their Venmo/CashApp - they’re asking you to donate to their Super PAC.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that makes it more legit - it’s sketchy.
It’s another dark money pit connected to other Super PACs to grift off of resisters.

The day after Russ Taylor was raided by the FBI in connection the the events at the Capitol, both @inminivanhell and I were singled out in an attempt to harass, dox and threaten us.
🧵
1/
It started when this person, who identifies themself as a friend of Russ and Alan, says they want to “meet up”.
I made it clear I wasn’t interested.
They made it clear to anyone who commented that finding @inminivanhell and I was the sole focus of their interest.
2/ ImageImageImage
I never reported Russ or Alan to the FBI and I told them so.
So what did they do next? Posted a call to action in a community group on Facebook.

Their Twitter account has since gone private. I wonder why? 🤔

Wouldn’t it be ironic if they were worried about being doxed?

Looks like one of the #FrontlineFrauds was fired from her job.
This is what happens when someone uses their position as a doctor to become a super-spreader of disinformation.
She is right about one thing: That video was embarrassing.
Where she was fired from remains a mystery.
Earlier videos show her speaking in front of well known medical centers and despite many efforts to determine which hospital employed her, none confirmed she worked there.

While millions of Americans are out of a job due to no fault of their own, here she is soliciting donations due to her supposed job loss.
Dr. Gold’s credentials put her in the position to have total job security and yet she made the decision to risk it all for partisan politics. Image
