An unjust law is no law at all.

St. Augustine

If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.

Thomas Jefferson

Anyone in a free society where the laws are unjust has an obligation to break the law.

Henry David Thoreau

One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When the originator of natural law theory, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, the greatest American Transcendentalist philosopher, and the patron saint of the American civil rights movement all stand in full agreement on a particular question of justice, the United States Department of Justice ought to pay heed.

When the case at issue is a signal act of conscience, courage, and protection of one's fellow human beings, done in defiance of the greatest state-sponsored act of tyranny in modern history, the United States Department of Justice must either act appropriately or permanently besmirch itself.

Enter Dr. Kirk Moore and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

From May 2021 through September 2022, during the Covid vaccine rollouts and the peak of Covid vaccine hysteria and coercion, Dr. Moore, a plastic surgeon practicing in Utah, issued false Covid-19 vaccination cards to patients who wished to avoid the shots, disposed of Covid-19 vaccines, and at parents' request, gave saline shots to some children in lieu of actual Covid-19 vaccines.

In January 2023, Dr. Moore was charged by the US Department of Justice, then run by Biden-appointed Attorney General Merrick Garland, with offenses that could have totaled 35 years in prison.

What crimes was Dr. Moore accused of that would justify such long imprisonment? Was he killing his patients with deadly, barely tested vaccines?

No, Kirk Moore was charged with much more heinous acts, like "Conspiracy to defraud the United States" (for allegedly issuing fake Covid vaccination cards), "Conspiracy to Convert, Sell, Convey, and Dispose of Government Property," (for allegedly disposing of Covid-19 vaccines), and "Conversion, Sale, Conveyance and Disposal of Government Property and Aiding and Abetting"

(for allegedly disposing of the vaccines and issuing saline injections instead).

Essentially, Moore was charged with "defrauding" the US government and destroying US government property. None of the charges accused him of harming or intending to inflict harm on his fellow citizens.

Since then, multiple changes in United States Government policy, and multiple case law decisions have demonstrated that the coercive vaccine-pushing policies of that time, to which Dr. Moore gave his patients an alternative, were indeed unconstitutional and unjust. For example, US military members who were dismissed for refusing the Covid shots have been reinstated with back pay, and as early as 2022, the Supreme Court ruled against OSHA for overreach regarding its vaccine mandates.

Numerous other lawsuits against abusive and coercive Covid vaccine policies have since succeeded, including this partial list:

Navy SEALs 1-26 v. Biden (2022)

Medical Professionals for Informed Consent v. Bassett (2023)

BART Employees Lawsuit (2024)

NorthShore University Health System Class-Action Settlement (2022)

Simply put, Moore was being prosecuted for defying state-sponsored tyranny, which has since been acknowledged by the courts, and even by the State itself. He took action to protect his patients from the US Government while it committed medically unethical, frankly unconstitutional, and, as it turned out, harmful and deadly acts against its own citizens. He did it for the benefit of his patients and at great personal risk.

The case against Moore and his co-defendants attracted national attention, which rose to a fever pitch at Moore's recent trial. This happened in part because of its connection to the tyranny of the Covid vaccine rollout and "vaccine card" era, but also because of recently growing distrust surrounding the questionable m...
