A doctor who has questioned federal vaccine mandates and promoted hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 is slated to testify before a Senate committee this week on early at-home coronavirus treatments.

Jane Orient is the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a group that opposes government involvement in medicine, has promoted discredited medical theories and opposes mandatory vaccines. 

Orient was invited by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to testify during a Tuesday hearing on early outpatient treatment for the virus. The hearing comes as health experts and government officials work to promote an upcoming vaccine as a way to contain a pandemic that has killed more than 280,000 in the U.S.


Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted Republicans and committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) for giving Orient a platform.

“At such a crucial time, giving a platform to conspiracy theorists to spread myths and falsehoods about Covid vaccines is downright dangerous and one of the last things Senate Republicans should be doing right now," Schumer said in a statement to The Hill
