Dr. Michael Kirkmoore Addresses Supreme Court After Charges Dropped
Dr. Michael Kirkmoore, a plastic surgeon from Utah, faced serious allegations in 2023, including the destruction of government-supplied COVID vaccines, issuing fraudulent vaccination cards, and administering saline shots to patients wishing to sidestep their obligations. Recently, he spoke at the Supreme Court following the dismissal of these charges.
During the event, which marked the fifth anniversary of the “White Coat Summit,” Kirkmoore expressed gratitude towards supporters and criticized the pharmaceutical industry. He acknowledged the efforts of frontline doctors, including Dr. Simone Gold and Dr. Stella Immanuel, who have publicly opposed what they view as governmental overreach during the pandemic.
“I’m here not for attention, but because I couldn’t ignore my oath,” Kirkmoore said to the assembled crowd. He emphasized that his experience symbolizes a broader challenge—how medicine and ethics can conflict with government authority.
He also thanked notable figures such as Attorney General Pam Bondy, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep. Thomas Massey, and Sen. Mike Lee for their support during a critical time.
On July 12, Bondy announced via social media that the Department of Justice had dropped the charges against Kirkmoore, which included conspiracy to defraud the United States and unlawful disposal of government property. “Dr. Moore provided patients with options when the federal government wouldn’t,” she shared on X.
It was alleged that Kirkmoore and his co-defendants had destroyed over $28,000 worth of government-provided vaccines and distributed fraudulent vaccination cards detailing nearly 2,000 doses. Additionally, he was said to have given saline to minors under the assumption that they were receiving the COVID vaccine.
Initially, Kirkmoore and a co-defendant faced up to 35 years in prison. Bondy pointed out that without the initial concerns she raised, these charges may never have been reconsidered.
Politicians, including Greene, voiced their support, calling Kirkmoore a hero rather than a criminal. In April, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. echoed this sentiment, stating that he deserved recognition for his bravery.
While addressing his supporters, Kirkmoore insisted that he had acted out of necessity, stating, “Two and a half years ago, I was charged by the federal government. My crime? There was no harm.” He asserted that no one suffered injury or deception through his actions, framing his decisions as a moral stand against coercive government measures requiring vaccination for employment and other necessities.
“I dealt with individuals who felt they had no choice,” he expressed. “I aimed to offer them a choice when the authorities stripped them of theirs. I faced 35 years in prison, not for greed, but because I prioritized ethics over compliance.” He described his indictment as indicative of a broader trend toward the criminalization of conscientious objection and governmental hostility towards medical freedom.
The event also featured talks from other prominent figures in the medical freedom movement, alongside journalists and activists, all advocating for a more open dialogue about medical choices and personal freedom.
