Dr. Simone Gold, the founder of America’s Frontline Doctors who was jailed for 60 days for giving a speech on COVID-19 and medical freedom at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is being released from federal detention two weeks early.
Gold will be released from the Miami Federal Detention Center just in time for an 11 a.m. EDT news conference on Sept. 9, the 45th day of her incarceration. She will meet with reporters to discuss her experience behind bars and her plans for America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS).
“It feels like it’s Christmas Eve right now,” Lisa Andrzejewski, executive director of America’s Frontline Doctors, told The Epoch Times. “We cannot wait to see her tomorrow. We’re thoroughly ecstatic. We can’t wait. We’ve missed her greatly.”
Andrzejewski said Gold was given credit for teaching and taking classes while incarcerated. Along with credit for time served when she was arrested in January 2021, Sept. 9 became the release date, about two weeks before the 60 days would expire.
Gold kept a positive attitude during her incarceration, working on a book and other projects, Andrzejewski said.
‘Strong Like a Lion’
“She is strong like a lion,” Andrzejewski said. “She’s going to come out fighting like a lion. You can hear it in her voice today. She is ready. She is very enthusiastic about it. She can’t wait to get back to work.”
Gold—an emergency medicine specialist from Los Angeles—was sentenced on June 16 under a plea deal on one count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, a federal misdemeanor. The sentence, meted out by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, included 60 days in jail, one year of supervised release, a $9,500 fine, and $500 of restitution.
Gold’s case was unusual because Cooper had asked her on a date when they were students at Stanford Law School in the early 1990s. She turned him down, something she said influenced the judge’s sentencing decision in her Jan. 6 case.
“The fact that I went to law school with this person and the fact that he didn’t recuse himself and then [what] he revealed during sentencing … I felt was such incredible bias,” Gold told The Epoch Times just before reporting for her jail sentence in late July.
At the sentencing hearing, Cooper read from a series of support letters that defended Gold for speaking her mind at the Capitol. “‘She is only guilty of having compassion and humanity,’ ” Cooper quoted from one letter.
“All of that may be true, all right, but that’s not why we’re here, all right, and your organization is leading people to the misimpression that this is a political prosecution or is about free speech. It ain’t about free speech.”
Not About First Amendment
Jan. 6 “was about a lot of things, but it wasn’t about the First Amendment or COVID vaccinations,” Cooper said. “…The only reason you are here is where and when and how you chose to express your view.”
Gold was quarantined for eight days when reporting to the prison because she would not take the COVID-19 vaccine. She described the quarantine as solitary confinement. In an email from the prison in August, Gold described the quarantine as a “punishing and inhumane experience.”
The COVID jab is “the only so-called ‘vaccine’ in the world that has proven not to be able to stop transmission or infection, suggesting the ‘vaccine’ is a complete fraud perpetuated on the American people as well as medical and global communities,” America’s Frontline Doctors said in a Sept. 8 news release.
As the medical establishment was pushing vaccines as the answer to COVID-19 in July 2020, Gold and a group of doctors held a press conference on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. They said successful early treatment medications such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin made the COVID vaccines unnecessary.
The video from the event was viewed by more than 24 million people, according to AFLDS, despite being censored and removed from social media platforms as so-called medical misinformation. Gold and the other Frontline Doctors were attacked in media outlets and by Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Andrzejewski said the timing of Gold’s release is perfect, as news continues to break about the dangers of the COVID vaccines and the efficacy of early treatment protocols like those AFLDS promoted two years ago.
Publicity surrounding Gold’s jail sentence and release will give her a bigger platform from which to promote medical freedom, Andrzejewski said.
“It’s giving her more of an advantage to do so, especially with everything that’s coming out now, how she basically was right,” Andrzejewski said. “We knew she was right, but they kept discrediting her. Everything’s coming out now and she’s ready for the fight.”

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
Real Americans, Real Wins
Don’t just take our word for it. Thousands of freedom-loving families have already ditched the old system for America First. “Finally, insurance that aligns with our values and actually saves us money,” shares one client.
