Bondi drops charges against doctor accused of destroying COVID vaccine doses, issuing fake cards
“Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” Bondi wrote on social media. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi on Saturday ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to drop the case against Utah Dr. Kirk Moore who was accused of throwing away more than $28,000 of COVID-19 vaccine doses and distributing at least 1,937 fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination record cards.
His trial formally began on Monday. He was initially charged under the Biden administration.
“Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” Bondi wrote on social media. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”
A federal grand jury had indicted him about two years ago and he faced up to 35 years in prison.
Moore and three co-defendants were accused of defrauding the government and destroying government property.
