A network of health care providers pocketed millions of dollars selling hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and online consultations, according to hacked data provided to The Intercept. The data show that vast sums of money are being extracted from people concerned about or suffering from Covid-19 but resistant to vaccinations or other recommendations of public health authorities.

America’s Frontline Doctors, a right-wing group founded last year to promote pro-Trump doctors during the coronavirus pandemic, is working in tandem with a small network of health care companies to sow distrust in the Covid-19 vaccine, dupe tens of thousands of people into seeking ineffective treatments for the disease, and then sell consultations and millions of dollars’ worth of those medications. The data indicate patients spent at least $15 million — and potentially much more — on consultations and medications combined.

The Intercept has obtained hundreds of thousands of records from two companies, CadenceHealth.us and Ravkoo, revealing just how the lucrative operation works. America’s Frontline Doctors, or AFLDS, has been spreading highly politicized misinformation about Covid-19 since the summer of 2020 and refers its many followers to its telemedicine partner SpeakWithAnMD.com, which uses Cadence Health as a platform. People who sign up then pay $90 for a phone consultation with “AFLDS-trained physicians” who prescribe treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to prevent and treat Covid-19. The drugs are delivered by Ravkoo, a service that works with local pharmacies to ship drugs to patients’ doors. Of course, that’s if patients ever get the consultation; many customers told Time they never received the call after paying.

The data from the Cadence Health and Ravkoo sites was provided to The Intercept by an anonymous hacker who said the sites were “hilariously easy” to hack, despite promises of patient privacy. It was corroborated by comparing it to publicly available information. The Intercept is not publishing any individual patient data and has taken steps to secure the data. After The Intercept reached out, Cadence Health’s Roque Espinal-Valdez said he shut the platform down, not wanting any part in profiting off of Covid-19 “quackery.”

1. Explains where the worm paste story got started....

Trump had millions invested in the hydro-etc pills, which is why he was promoting the hell out of them
and the kickbacks for the Abbott home testing machine.

the stories about his cronies getting FREE no-bid contracts to sell PPE early on are now coming out.
trump and Kushner were selling cronies the stockpiled ones and the ones they could nab that the states ordered. His cronies opened medical supply companies online and sold them at huge prices.

De Santis is letting his biggest Republican donor provide Covid treatment, paid for with state $$$.
Huge political "donations" in return.

Abbot has to be in the same game, since he is doing the same "create millions of sick folks for fun and profit" game.

It was hard to figure out what they were doing at first because WE had a "failure of imagination" that anyone could be that cold blooded.

2. They're using "healthcare providers" very loosely.

6. I say we open hospitals for the unvaccinated.

So the existing hospitals can get back to treating patients again instead of using all their resources for these imbeciles who refuse the vaccination. They can also have unvaccinated restaurants. Also why not an airline for all the unvaccinated. That way all the dodo's who think they don't need it can work there.
