The United States Minister of Justice, Pam Bondi, ordered the abandonment of the prosecution against a doctor on Saturday accused of destroying vaccines against the COVVI-19 and of having issued false vaccination certificates.
The net judgment of the procedure, in the middle of the trial and at the request of an elected official of the hard right, is part of the Vaccinosceptic turning point of the American government since the coming to power of Donald Trump.

wrote Minister Pam Bondi on X. Michael Kirk Moore, a Utah cosmetic surgeon, had been charged by federal justice in 2023, like her clinic and three accomplices.
They were accused of having destroyed for 28,029 dollars of COVVI-19 vaccines and of having distributed at least 1937 false vaccination certificates in exchange for money.
Mr. Moore, who risked spending decades behind bars, was also accused of having administered, at the request of parents, a simple saline solution to their children, by passing it for a vaccine against COVID-19. His trial opened this week at the Federal Court of Salt Lake City.

The pandemic caused very strong political tensions in the United States, between defenders of protective measures as well as vaccination and a fringe of the right opposed to the restrictions of freedoms and vaccines.
Donald Trump, himself vaccinated against COVID-19, appointed as Minister of Health Robert Kennedy Jr. This notorious vaccinosceptic has started a deep overhaul of the American health authorities and their vaccine policy.
He is notably accused of having disseminated false information about the measles vaccine, while the United States has undergone, since the beginning of 2025, the worst epidemic in more than 30 years.
