Charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., a Utah plastic surgeon accused of destroying $28,000 worth of Covid-19 vaccines, distributing fake vaccination cards, and giving children saline shots instead of vaccines, have been dropped. Attorney General Pam Bondi cited the patients' choice as a reason. The Justice Department indicted Dr. Moore in 2023 under the Biden administration. The acting US Attorney for Utah dismissed the charges, stating it was in the "interests of justice". Dr. Moore had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
