DOJ drops charges against Utah doc in fake Covid vax card case

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered that federal charges be dropped against a Utah doctor who issued false Covid-19 vaccine cards and administered saline shots rather than Covid-19 vaccines to some patients who wanted the vax documentation but not the vax.

Bondi wrote on X, "At my direction the Justice Department has dismissed charges against Dr. Kirk Moore. Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today."

She also gave credit to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) as well as Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) for bringing the case to her attention and advocating "to end the weaponization of government."

KUTV News reports that Moore was indicted in 2023 for issuing false Covid-19 vaccination cards. Kari Dee Burgoyne, 52, Kristin Jackson Andersen, 59, and Sandra Flores, 31, who were part of Moore's practice were also charged in the case.

They were accused of destroying vaccines and giving saline injections to patients, many of them children. It is not clear if Bondi has dismissed the case against the others that were in his practice.

Lee posted to X in celebration of the charges being dismissed, writing, "Glad that we could ensure Dr. Moore remains a free man! Thank you for standing with the countless Americans who endured too many official lies, mandates, and lockdowns during COVID."

According to the indictment in the case, Moore issued 2,000 false vaccine cards, and had patient pay for them with cash or with donations to a specified charity.
