The Department of Justice has charged a Utah-based plastic surgery clinic with falsifying vaccination cards and destroying COVID-19 vaccines.

According to a Wednesday press release, the DOJ charged the Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah and some of its employees, with conspiracy to defraud the United States and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The DOJ alleges that Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr. and his staff administered to children, at their parents’ requests, false vaccines consisting of a saline solution, so they would think they were receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

“This defendant allegedly used his medical profession to administer bogus vaccines to unsuspecting people, to include children falsifying a sense of security,” Acting Special Agent in Charge Chris Miller said.
