    Harris County *fired* Dr. Dr. Hasan Gokal for what appears to be the crime of going above and beyond in trying to make sure no vaccines were wasted AND THEN the attorney general tried to prosecute him for theft! If the below is what happened, he should be thanked, not prosecuted.https://twitter.com/Mike_Hixenbaugh/status/1353777059433238529 …

    Remember that Houston doctor charged with stealing COVID vaccines? Check out the narrative of his alleged crime👇 What is it about the pandemic that’s made people toss common sense in exchange for legalism?

        Read the enraging update to this story. The doctor went above and beyond duty to make sure vaccine weren't wasted, tried every official avenue, ended up driving all over the place PLUS he got fired and charged (dismissed) and all the rest. Shameful.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/us/houston-doctor-fired-covid-vaccine.html …

        This is why administrators cannot make out of the box decisions. Some bureaucrat devoid of common sense and critical thinking will make your life hell.

        Reminds me of the scene in the Grapes of Wrath where the potato company dump a crop of potatoes in a river to inflate prices, and station armed guards around them to stop hungry people from taking them. Yes, there are obvious differences, but enforced wastage really hurts to see.

        That's why I have the pinned tweet that I do. There are many important lessons about life found in that book/film. I wish more people's eyes were opened to social injustices.

        Vaccine clinics should be set up with a clear plan on how to distribute extra doses. It's not that hard. If you don't have one, you haven't set up your clinic properly.

        They should be giving bonuses to people like this, to encourage this kind of thing. Do they really think the public is better served if vaccine doses go to waste?
