TX doc fired for taking home 9 doses of expiring vax and giving it to friends/fam

This is an interesting moral quandary, depending on how the facts turn up. On the one hand the idea of precious vaccine doses going to waste for bureaucratic reasons makes me want to look around the room for furniture to break. On the other hand, doctors are flawed human beings who probably shouldn't be put in this sort of situation in the first place. The article also mentions that his actions might have put covid19 funding for the whole county in jeopardy (That sounds like bull**** to me. Harris Co has millions of people, and I doubt one doktor's **** up would jeopardize the whole thing for such a big county).

I am inclined to think that the county was correct in firing him but that he shouldn't suffer severe consequences on account of these are extraordinary times and no vax should go to waste.

If my work tells me to throw away something and I decide to keep it, I can be fired for stealing
Thats just the way the law works.

Today, the pharmacy had one extra dose. It went to a 33-year-old Northwest D.C. woman who did not want to talk on-camera, but agreed to an audio interview.

How is it different? This has been going on here since the beginning of distribution.

What a moron. Would be fired for stealing any medication through

they were handing out the vaccine today, i guess if they get ahold of extra its first come first serve


i passed because i already had the cold, not taking a rushed experimental emergency approved vaccine for a cold I already had when I have a god tier immune system

"His attorney says Gokal was simply making sure that doses of the vaccine were used rather than allowed to expire."



thats his attorneys cover story, you think his attorney really going to say well he wanted to help out his friends and family so set aside doses for them and abused his access to the limited vaccine as a doctor to help out his friends. come on man

Vaccine going to waste is a sin. Giving it to anyone who needs it is a good thing. It remains to be seen if the doc tried reasonably hard to give the expiring vaccine to more needy people or if he made a more selfish decision to give it to his loved ones.

The moronic thing was mentioning it to a coworker.

If they were expiring, which I think they were, then I see no wrong doing. Other than he could've driven them to a police station or something.

He shouldn't have taken it home though, he should have had his family come to the site to take it. A vaccine in a Texans arm is not a wasted vaccine.

who are you to decide the law

this is why none of your posts here are taken seriously

what this person did is theft




if you work for a grocery store and the manager says throw away that food, you take the food instead and give it to a food bank, this is called theft, and is a crime, and youll be fired for it

feelings do not make things legal

Stick to the op, why are you talking about grocery stores? A vaccine in a Texans arm is not a wasted vaccine, I would rather it be in an arm than in the trash.

K, bye!

Yup. Should have administered it at the site.

Guaranteed those doses would have been thrown in the trash (where the vaccines belong) if the doctor didn't take them, anyway.

But firing him for "Stealing" a free vaccine? Fcking clown world. The government is such an abuser of its own fraud/waste/abuse policy, it's not even funny.

Gets what he deserves tbh. What fkn idiot is so stupid to steal experimental bs to inject it to your family and friends.

Fkn moron.

[chaunce54]

It's starting to become quite a disturbing trend that liberals don't think laws apply to them...

[Tha big kahoona]

I would hate to see that doc get punished
