The Highland Meeting in Utah on May 20, 2023, featured a significant discussion led by Kirk Moore, who shared his experiences and initiatives aimed at helping individuals avoid mRNA vaccinations. The meeting began with Moore recounting his journey, which started in a GroupMe thread primarily composed of women from his neighborhood. Initially, the thread served as a platform for community issues, but it soon transitioned to discussions about vaccination locations.
Moore expressed his concerns about the vaccine discourse within the group, prompting him to share information on reasons not to get vaccinated. Despite facing pushback from some members who deemed the topic inappropriate for the forum, he found support from others who agreed that discussing vaccine hesitancy was valid. Over time, the group diminished in size as members left, leading to the formation of a new group called "Freedom Fighters," which Moore co-led with Chris Anderson.
The new group quickly grew to over 500 members, providing a space for discussions that Moore described as a "great patriot forum." He emphasized the importance of creating a community where individuals could share their views without feeling censored. Moore also highlighted his belief that a significant portion of the population remains unaware of the complexities surrounding vaccinations.
In addition to his community efforts, Moore discussed his involvement with a nonprofit organization, where he provided free consultations regarding vaccines. He clarified that he did not charge for his services and instead encouraged donations to support the nonprofit's mission. However, he faced legal challenges, including accusations of fraud related to vaccine distribution, which he vehemently denied.
Moore's narrative underscored his commitment to providing alternative perspectives on vaccination and fostering a supportive community for those who share his views. The meeting concluded with a call for continued dialogue and support among group members as they navigate the complexities of public health and personal choice.
