The US Department of Justice dropped charges against Utah doctor Michael Moore, who was accused of destroying Covid vaccines and administering saline instead, citing his defense of patient choice and the questionable constitutionality of regulations at the time. The case drew support from some political figures and vaccine skeptics.
The federal government dismissed charges against Utah plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, who was accused of wasting COVID-19 vaccines, providing saline shots to children, and selling fake vaccination cards, citing interests of justice amid ongoing legal proceedings.
Brazilian police have accused former president Jair Bolsonaro of fraud and criminal association, alleging that he colluded to fabricate his vaccination card before entering the United States in late 2022. The accusations mark the first time federal police have sought criminal charges against Bolsonaro, who has been ensnared by a bevy of criminal and political investigations since leaving office. If convicted, Bolsonaro could face years in prison. Bolsonaro has denied falsifying his vaccine card, with his attorney calling the police case "absurd" and alleging "political persecution."
