America’s Frontline Doctors Petitions FDA to Make HCQ and Ivermectin Over-the-Counter

By Jim Hoft

In a bold move that challenges years of government medical restrictions, America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) has formally petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin available over the counter for all Americans. The petition represents a direct rebuke of federal health policy since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and it reignites the battle over who controls access to early treatment options.

Medical Freedom Front Returns with Renewed Force

The petition, filed July 5th, demands that the FDA reclassify HCQ and ivermectin—two off-patent drugs once vilified during the height of COVID—as safe and effective for general public use without prescription. AFLDS argues that decades of safety data, including widespread use in developing countries, prove these medications pose far fewer risks than many current OTC drugs.

“It is medically and morally indefensible to keep life-saving drugs locked behind bureaucratic barriers,” said AFLDS spokesman Dr. John Witcher. “Americans deserve access to early treatment without government interference.”

The Science the FDA Doesn’t Want You to See

While the mainstream medical establishment continues to downplay HCQ and ivermectin, multiple studies cited by AFLDS show the drugs significantly reduce viral replication and hospitalization when used early in COVID progression. The organization argues that politicized suppression of these treatments cost lives and violated the Hippocratic oath.

AFLDS’ petition includes over 50 peer-reviewed studies, global data, and legal affidavits from physicians who successfully used these protocols—many under threat of losing their licenses.

“We are not anti-vax. We are pro-choice and pro-science,” stated Dr. Simone Gold, founder of AFLDS, who previously served prison time for her stance during the January 6 protests. “Millions died because Big Pharma buried the truth.”

Globalist Censorship or Medical Caution?

Critics of the petition say making HCQ and ivermectin OTC could lead to misuse or self-medication without proper guidance. But AFLDS and its allies argue that this is a smokescreen used to protect pharmaceutical profits and enforce centralized control over healthcare.

This petition comes as the World Health Organization and World Economic Forum continue pushing for centralized pandemic treaty powers—a move AFLDS believes would destroy medical sovereignty in favor of a “global health dictatorship.”

Prophetic Echoes and the Push Toward Control

The push for OTC access has taken on more than just political or medical meaning—it is part of a wider spiritual and prophetic battle. Many Christians see the suppression of healing medicines and the control of treatment protocols as aligning with Revelation’s warnings about sorcery (“pharmakeia”) and global deception.

If successful, the petition could serve as a turning point in America’s medical freedom movement—a last stand against the rising tide of technocratic control.
