A choice
The US Department of Justice dropped charges on Saturday against Michael Kirk Moore, the Utah doctor accused of destroying more than $28,000 worth of government-provided Covid-19 vaccines and administering saline to children instead of the shot.
Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, announced the news in a statement on the social media platform X, saying the charges had been dismissed under her direction.
“Dr Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” Bondi said. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing.”
Excuse me no he didn’t give them a choice, he lied to them.
According to a 2023 press release from the US attorney’s office in Utah, Moore distributed at least 1,937 fraudulent vaccination record cards in exchange for either direct payment or required donations to a specific charity. The minors he gave saline shots to were under the impression, at the request of their parents, that they were receiving a Covid-19 shot.
That’s not “doing them a favor.”
Recently, the Trump administration canceled a $766m award to Moderna on the research and development of H5N1 bird flu vaccines, and officials announced new restrictions and regulations for Covid mRNA vaccines.
Well that’s fucking terrifying. They’re going to let bird flu run amok. It will be like London in 1665 all over again.

Only then it was a tiny and isolated population. Now, thanks to modern transport, it will potentially reach the entire world population. Even including ignoramii like Trump and RFK Junior.
That’s what I meant: everywhere will be like London 1665.
But that plague also reached Cambridge, forcing it to close and sending Newton back to the family farm, where he developed calculus, among other things. I doubt we will derive such a boon from our pandemics.
Yeah, Colin, I liked to point out during the pandemic that the plague closed the theatres in London several times, and Shakespeare used the time to write King Lear. I doubt anyone in my town did anything to match that with their time, not even me, though I did write a couple of novels while we were closed down.
I would like to point out that Liebniz independently developed calculus, without the need for a deadly disease to drive him into isolation.
