Isn’t the MSRP for those vaccine doses something north of $10k each? In addition to being a really dumb thing to do, it also sounds like a potentially ruinous amount of financial damage if the hospital tries to recover the funds.
I couldn’t read due to the paywall but really wonder what would be going through someone’s head to do that... it’s one thing to not want a vaccine (personally I’d rather wait a bit), but another to actively sabotage one of the biggest medical initiatives in our lifetime.
