## Attorney General Pam Bondi announces dismissal of charges against plastic surgeon accused of faking COVID-19 vaccine cards

Authored by cbsnews.com

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Saturday that she is dismissing the criminal charges against a Utah plastic surgeon who was currently on trial for allegedly issuing fake Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 vaccination records cards to people who sought fake vaccine cards.

Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, whose criminal trial was currently underway in Utah, was indicted by the Justice Department in 2023.

Moore pleaded not guilty to the charges, while one of his co-defendants entered into a plea agreement for a misdemeanor charge and another co-defendant entered into a diversion agreement.

A Justice Department spokesperson did not respond to questions on whether or not the charges against them would be dropped as well.

In court filings, attorneys for Moore argued that the CDC vaccine regulations in place were unconstitutional.

The fake cards were sold for $50 each, charging documents said, during the scheme they allegedly operated between May 2021 and September 2022.

"She has been a warrior for Dr. Moore and for ending the weaponization of government," Bondi wrote. »
