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.

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 minors believed they were getting the vaccine.

Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., a leading anti-vaccine activist before becoming the nation's top health official, posted his support for Moore in April, saying on X that Moore "deserves a medal for his courage and his commitment to healing

“… But the extraordinary rebukes and headwinds the president is now facing — much of it from within his own party — are revealing a GOP beginning to reckon with a post-Trump future. That dynamic crystallized after voters surged to the polls to support Democratic candidates for statewide races in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and Pennsylvania, shattering expectations of close contests and signaling that even Trump can’t defy political gravity forever….”

Just wait, and after another year of this wonderful Trump economy Fox will be telling parents at Christmas "You don't need to buy gifts for your kids, it's really for their own good not to get everything they want all the time. It will teach them how to be thrifty."

Trumpers, how much more flippin' evidence do you need that Fox News is, and always has been, a Republican/right-wing propaganda channel?

IMO, they've always known, at least deep down. That's why they love it so - it tells them what they want to hear, not what's really happening in the world. It's like an adult GOPers security blanket, and always has been. Whatever they may say in public, I think nearly all of them privately know what Fox News is really about, and they heartily approve.

I think you're spot on here. Also, I was writing that response rhetorically and I should have indicated that above. As you said, they know it and Fox News just reinforces to its audience that it's perfectly fine to be mad about and to believe the things they believe.

I agree. We used to do a gift exchange among family adults. We'd put our list in a bowl and draw names. Limit was $50. It basically became more annoying to come up with things we actually wanted under $50. The same would have been true @ $100.

We finally stopped doing it a few years ago.

What you are describing isn’t what the Fox News person is saying.
She is saying Trump killed the economy so save money by not buying presents.
