In January of 2023, the United States government’s coronavirus crackdown set its sights on the medical practice of Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, Jr., with the US Department of Justice charging him and three other individuals with crimes stemming from the allegation that the charged individuals helped people who chose to not receive coronavirus “vaccine” shots for themselves or their children obtain cards indicating shots were received.
I noted in an article at the time that the Justice Department had to resort to alleging Moore’s and the others’ crimes were against the US government given that no individuals were harmed and, in fact, individuals were helped by being able to avoid the risk of harmful effects from the shots, as well as the loss of employment and other restrictions on their lives that would come from not having the cards. It was a victimless action and, indeed, a valuable service.
Some observers of developments in the prosecution expected that the Justice Department under the control of the Donald Trump administration that began two years after the charges were filed would drop the charges. Instead, President Trump’s Justice Department continued to pursue the prosecution. A trial in federal court in Salt Lake City, Utah started this week against Moore and another defendant.
A Wednesday KSL.com article by Cassidy Wixom provides more details about the newly commenced trial of the two remaining defendants. The other two charged individuals had already entered into a plea deal or diversion agreement.
Wixom reported in her article that dozens of people have gathered outside the courthouse in support of Moore. Further noted Wixom, Moore has received expression of support from prominent individuals in politics, including Utah House of Representatives Speaker Mike Schultz, US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
