Summary
The US Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, dropped charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, who was accused of discarding $28,000 worth of COVID-19 vaccines and distributing over 1,937 fake vaccination cards. Moore, along with three clinic staff, allegedly falsified vaccination records, including injecting children with saline at parents’ requests. Initially charged in 2023, Moore faced potential decades-long imprisonment. The decision came days after the trial began and followed a letter from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene urging dismissal.
