In all likelihood, this was an innocent mistake (i.e., not done with malice)... but it's hard not be cynical about it, especially when we consider the context.

In all likelihood, this was an innocent mistake (i.e., not done with malice)... but it's hard not be cynical about it, especially when we consider the context.
Medical residents:
1) are at high risk, overworked, stressed out, and underpaid;
2) are regularly being called "heroes" in slick posters and PR campaigns; and
3) have just been left out of the initial vaccine allocation.
The combination of 1), 2), and 3) seems almost "engineered" to induce psychological and emotional breakdown in the very people who least deserve it. Horrible.

The residents' point here is that it ceases to be an innocent mistake when it is pointed out to you, and you deliberately decide to do nothing about it.
- cs702 6y agoDo you actually think this was done with malice? I doubt it. Per Hanlon's razor, we should never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by (bureaucratic) stupidity.[a] [a] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor
