Pam Bondi: Villain to Hero in One Week

Embattled US Attorney General shifts course and shuts down prosecution of Dr. Kirk Moore, the Utah doctor standing trial for his determination to 'do no harm.'

At the height of Covid hysteria and vaccine mandate madness, a doctor in Utah gave patients an urgently needed option to the experimental shots whose ingredients no one quite knew: a vaccine card without side effects. He offered adult patients a way out of losing their jobs for declining the shot. And he offered parents the option of having their child injected with safe saline instead of the experimental jabs to prevent them from losing their educational opportunities.

It was a simple and — given what we know now about the unintended consequences of the shots — a prudent course of action for his patients if not himself.

To the U.S. government, it was, of course, sinister. The Department of Justice under President Joe Biden drew up a case against Utah plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore that they hoped would put him in jail for 35 years for using his own common sense — against his own self-interest — on behalf of his patients. And the DOJ under Trump was, up until today, inexplicably, continuing the effort.

But this week in white-pill news, after pressure from a small group of determined advocates (from the @DiedSuddenly crew, Shannon Joy, science influencers such as Mary Talley Bowden and Karen Kingston and others) bubbled up into a rally at the Salt Lake City Courthouse and turned into a tsunami that swept up Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie and made its way to the storied “desk” of US Attorney General Pam Bondi, the U.S. government dropped the case.

(Needless to say, RFK Jr. was on it as far back as April.)

Embattled United States Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement on X that she herself shut down the government prosecution.

On an X livestream July 12 with Died Suddenly’s with Matthew Skow and Edward Szall, Dr. Moore — fresh out of court with the news — said the message he would like people to draw from this triumph is to stop feeling powerless. “We can make a difference. You don’t need to have an army of 5,000 people. You can affect change.”

Case in point, it turns out the somewhat small rally at Salt Lake’s courthouse steps this week had an outsize effect, especially the moving speech by Dr. Moore’s high school-age son, Michael, which got more than a million views, and gave MTG something tangible to put in Bondi’s ear with its earnest plea:

“My father is a doctor. He is a veteran, and he is my hero. Today he stands on trial not because he did something wrong but because he did something right. My father didn’t just take an oath as a doctor, he lived it everyday. He fought to protect his patients, to heal the sick, to comfort the suffering, and to speak up when others stayed silent. When he saw something that would harm the people he swore to protect, he acted. He didn’t look the other way. He didn’t stay quiet to protect himself. He stood up, because that’s what real heroes do….”

Occasionally, such heroes are rewarded.
