Charges Dropped Against Doctor Accused of COVID Vaccine Fraud
US Attorney General Pam Bondi dismisses serious charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr. related to COVID vaccine misconduct, citing concerns for justice.
In a surprising turn of events, US Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced the dropping of charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., a plastic surgeon previously implicated in a range of COVID-19 vaccination-related accusations. Initially, Dr. Moore faced claims of destroying over $28,000 worth of vaccines, distributing counterfeit vaccination records, and administering saline shots to children instead of actual vaccines at the request of their parents.
Bondi clarified that this decision was made in the “interests of justice,” stating that Dr. Moore "did not deserve the years in prison he was facing." The doctor had been indicted during the Biden administration in 2023 but had pleaded not guilty to all charges, including conspiracy to defraud the federal government.
The US Attorney's office in Utah alleged that Dr. Moore had fraudulently completed vaccination certificates for over 1,900 doses, charging patients $50 for these documents without actually administering the vaccine. The government had also suggested that he misled children into thinking they had received the COVID-19 vaccine, amidst a backdrop of growing public skepticism about vaccines.
In a recent post on social media platform X, Bondi attributed her decision to Republican lawmakers, including US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Senator Mike Lee, who engaged with her regarding the case and emphasized the need to halt perceived government abuses during the pandemic.
At the time of the charges, Dr. Moore and his associates faced a potential cumulative sentence of up to 35 years in prison. Bondi's decision has ignited discussions on the role of government oversight during the COVID-19 crisis, tying into broader public discontent regarding vaccination and public health policies. Concurrently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the current US Health Secretary, known for questioning vaccine safety, emphasizes that he is not against vaccines, reflecting ongoing debates around vaccination practices in the United States.
