It seems like the guy was unlucky. But corruption is a really bad thing and I lean on the side of anti-corruption any day of the week. It’s very convenient that there was only one dose left for his sick wife. The wife was right to question whether it was right, but more importantly was that they should have considered the perception of the situation. If something will have the look of corruption, but will result in waste, go for the waste, every time. It would be easy to imagine a cooked up scheme whereby two vials were opened, instead of using an entire one resulting in a surplus of 10 doses with 6 hours expiry overnight which would mean “I had to give them to my family”. So imagine if this is left to slide, there is the potential for huge numbers of vaccines to be given to family and friends. The desirability of the vaccine and the deadliness of the virus could also encourage bribes to propagate such schemes. The whole thing has a very bad look and to trust the people in charge of the program would require a full investigation in order to clear the situation of corruption. Of the officials don’t act, they are at risk of being complicit. The potential reputations damage from his action is much greater than he realized. Copy paste this to other scenarios and I think you will find the excuse of “otherwise it would go to waste” a massive vector for all sorts of corruption at every level. How hard does someone try to find someone in need of something will go to waste? How will we ever know? It’s the slippery slope of corruption that poison societies. Corruption is the deadliest thing in human existence.
