"America's Frontline Doctors" isn't being used in the article as a fear term, but is them citing the name of a project/organization of the Free Speech Foundation which is the source they used for the information and this "group" has the fear language in its name.
It being a "project" and not a term in the article doesn't mean it is a good thing, though. The entire foundation, their history and their projects reek.

WHO WE ARE Honest Healthcare Solutions — From the Ground Up
The doctor-patient relationship is being threatened. That means quality patient care is under fire like never before. Powerful interests are undermining the effective practice of medicine with politicized science and biased information. Now more than ever, patients need access to independent, evidence-based information to make the best decisions for their healthcare. Doctors must have the independence to care for their patients without interference from government, media and the medical establishment.
America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) stands up for every American looking for the best quality healthcare by empowering doctors working on the front lines of our nation’s most pressing healthcare challenges. We help to amplify the voices of concerned physicians and patients nationwide to combat those who push political and economic agendas at the expense of science and quality healthcare solutions.
AFLDS is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization.
Our growing community of member physicians come from across the country representing a range of medical disciplines and practical experience on the front lines of medicine. Our programs focus on a number of critical issues including:
- Providing Americans with science-based facts about COVID-19
- Protecting physician independence from government overreach
- Combating the pandemic using evidence-based approaches without compromising Constitutional freedoms
- Fighting medical cancel culture and media censorship
- Advancing healthcare policies that protect the physician-patient relationship
- Expanding COVID-19 treatment options for all Americans who need them
- Strengthening the voices of front-line doctors in the national healthcare conversation
WHAT WE BELIEVE
- AFLDS believes that the American people have the right to accurate information using trusted data derived from decades of practical experience, not politicized science and Big Tech-filtered public health information.
- We support devolving critical public health decision-making away from Washington and closer tolocal communities and the physicians that serve them. We are steadfastly committed to protecting the physician-patient relationship.
- We support incorporating front-line and actively practicing physicians into the nation’s healthcare policy conversation.
- We believe that organizations like the AMA and other sources of medical information have lost their independence and should be treated with greater skepticism.
- We believe that safe and effective, over-the-counter COVID preventative and early treatment options should be made available to all Americans who need them. We reject mandatory government lockdowns and restrictions not supported by scientific evidence. We support focused care for the nation’s at-risk population, including seniors and the immune-compromised.
Most of all, America’s Frontline Doctors is committed to maintaining the physician-patient relationship in the face of government encroachment. We are not the media – please share what you learn here.

Finding anything on this "Free Speech Foundation" is proving nearly fruitless, and what I have found is not good.
I found one mention of it from back in 2005 that notes other "projects" of theirs at the time, and how most of their website links and project sites were non-functional. https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Free_Speech_Foundation
Even more interesting is that going to the Free Speech Foundation website noted on that page now just redirects to a Chinese "Information for China Transformation" site by "Scientific GOD Inc." that appears to have been started on September 11, 2011 and references the 9/11 attacks regularly.
This is the daily outreach service initiated on 9/11/2011 by the Sciurch of Scientific GOD Inc. Daily service will begin on December 21, 2011.
It seemed to have been part of the 12-21-2012 Mayan Calendar end of the world cult(s), but they continued updating after that date came and went and moved into being a site to just peddle a different cult mentality with "A Call for New Chinese Enlightenment", "A Call for Transformation of America", and "A Higher Calling for A New World" with some scientific-god "teachings" as well as encouraging getting "vaccinated" and wearing masks to "overcome COVID-19":
Fight against Coronavirus: Get vaccinated when it is your turn, wear a mask and follow CDC guidance to keep places safe!
I will not be citing or sharing anything from this AFLDS or "Free Speech Foundation" in the future.
