The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on the social media platform X that charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, of Midvale, Utah, were dismissed at her direction.

Moore and other defendants faced up to 35 years in prison after being charged with conspiracy to defraud the government; conspiracy to convert, sell, convey and dispose of government property; and aiding and abetting in those efforts. The charges were brought when Joe Biden was president.

“Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” Bondi wrote. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”

Felice John Viti, acting U.S. attorney for Utah, filed the motion Saturday, saying “such dismissal is in the interests of justice.”

The trial began Monday in Salt Lake City with jury selection. It was expected to last 15 days.

Messages sent to the U.S. Department of Justice, Viti’s office in Salt Lake City and to Moore were not immediately returned Saturday to The Associated Press.

A federal grand jury on Jan. 11, 2023, returned an indictment against Moore, his Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah Inc., others associated with the clinic and a neighbor of Moore’s. The indictment alleged more than $28,000 of government-provided COVID-19 vaccine doses were destroyed.

They were also accused of providing fraudulently completed vaccination record cards for over 1,900 doses of the vaccine in exchange for either a cash or a donation to a specified charitable organization.

The government also alleged some children were given saline shots, at their parents’ request, so the...

MTG deserves credit for championing his cause to AG Bondi.

Some follow the science.

Most follow the $en$ation.

I never commended people download the kung flu vaccine cards, look up the batch numbers of the “vaccines “delivered to local drug stores, and then putting that information on the “vaccines” cards. Never.

I know someone who faked giving a few shots. Poked but didn’t inject, and actually injected into a cotton ball before disposal of the needle.

Good plan, IMO.

" Kennedy repeatedly refused to acknowledge scientific consensus"

This proves that Kennedy was right. "Consensus science" is nothing but a figment the imagination of the loony left. Real science is based on tests and measurements. Consensus is the opposite of science. When Einstein was asked about the 100 "scientists" who signed a letter opposing his relativity theory, he replied: "Why 100? All it would take is just one of them with real data."

Anyone talking of "consensus science" is totally ignorant of real science.

I always figured one could honestly say they gave the patient the vaccine if they handed them the dose and let them dispose of the dose somehow, like squirting or dumping it into a garbage can.

I bet if you tracked the health of the patients he served by giving them saline injections instead of the experimental goop, we would find them to be healthier, without immune deficiencies, without inflammations of the heart.

Duh!

"Consensus" is mob rule.
