Utah Doctor Accused of Falsifying COVID-19 Vaccine Records Has Case Dropped
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on July 12 that a case against Utah doctor michael Kirk Moore Jr.has been dropped. Moore was accused of falsifying COVID-19 vaccination certificates and destroying over $28,000 worth of government-provided vaccines.
Bondi stated that Moore did not deserve the jail time he was facing, as he provided patients with a choice when the federal government did not. Moore was indicted in 2023, and his trial had commenced earlier this month.
The Trump administration has shown support for COVID-19 vaccine skeptics. Health Secretary Robert F.Kennedy Jr. praised Moore’s “courage and his commitment to healing.”
Moore allegedly ran the false certification scheme from a plastic surgery center, administering saline shots to minors to make it appear they received COVID-19 vaccines.
U.S. lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene also championed the dropping of the case, calling Moore a hero and stating, “We can never again allow our government to turn tyrannical under our watch.”
This decision by Bondi comes amid scrutiny of her dismissal of senior Justice Department officials involved in investigations into Trump,raising concerns about political retribution.
