Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., a Utah-based physician, is facing a potential 35-year prison sentence for administering saline injections instead of COVID-19 vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic. Moore reportedly issued vaccine cards to patients without administering the actual vaccine, actions taken at the request of families seeking to avoid vaccination. The charges against him include destroying thousands of COVID-19 vaccine vials and providing false vaccination documentation. Several political figures, including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have called on the Department of Justice to drop the charges against Moore, describing him as a doctor who acted to protect patients. The case has drawn attention amid ongoing debates about COVID-19 vaccine mandates and medical ethics during the pandemic.
