Houston Doctor Fired After Giving Away Vaccine Doses Before They Expire | Katy Tur | MSNBC
It’s more a crime to waste Vaccines. If he had to reach out this Doctor did the right thing.
I agree it would have been a crime for it to expire! Dismiss this nut story.
I guess in America waste is the way to go.
Their economy is based on it.
I think he did the right thing. People will always put blame on someone. He used his judgment wisely. Go Doc…
WOW – punishing a DOCTOR for giving out vaccines BEFORE they expired!!!
And yet TRUMP and his GRIFTING family and aiders and abettors have yet to be held to account!!!
We’re firing doctors for giving vaccine… Even if he did give it to the wrong person to not waste it, they are still a person and we need almost every person to get it. It is true we should prioritize some people, but making him waste it to keep his job? … I guess his hospital doesn’t need any more doctors with critical thinking skills.
So throw it away and waste money or give it to people who need it? That’s not a difficult choice. Millionaires jumped the line and paid for it and nothing happened to them but those that are actually in the line, it’s bad to get? Give me a break..
This is exaggerated, people should be looking for the lost vaccines.
I believe there is a phrase that applies here, “Drop the charges.”
America, the land where insurrection, treason and murder go unpunished…
…but people are punished for saving lives – even when doing so costs nothing to anyone.
A disgusting, immoral country.
It has been happening all summer
His crime is he wasn’t quite white enough to get away with it.
That is a really worthless comment.
bless him, and he thought of others first. why on earth would someone want him to throw away something meant to help people. need more people like him, this can only lead to good things for him.
it’s a shame doing the right thing is penalized.
Glad to see he is getting some support.
He did right..God the states officials appear to get stupider by the day. He didn’t waste…
At this point, the chances of Texas salvaging whatever soul it has left is almost non-existent.
Let’s end capitalism as we know it before limitless greed ends us all.
Attack America’s Democracy no problem try saving people’s lives and you’re punished.
The United States of America is having a nervous breakdown. Bless you.
Wouldn’t have happened if he was Caucasian. That’s what you get when political leaders think they know everything.
This Dr. absolutely did the humane and right thing. The people who fired him should lose THEIR JOBS.
