Boner Candidate #1: IT WAS GOING TO GO BAD
A Texas doctor has been fired and criminally charged after he was accused of stealing a vial of the COVID-19 vaccine to give shots to friends and relatives. Authorities allege that Dr. Hasan Gokal, who worked for Harris County Public Health, stole a vial containing nine doses of the Moderna vaccine while working at a vaccination site at Lyndsay Lyons Park, in Humble, on December 29. The theft was reportedly discovered after Gokal bragged about it to a co-worker the following week, who then reported him to supervisors. Prosecutors later determined that Gokal, 48, had used the vial to give the vaccine to nine different people, including his wife. ‘He abused his position to place his friends and family in line in front of people who had gone through the lawful process to be there,’ said Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg.

The former CEO of Make-A-Wish Iowa was busted Thursday for allegedly embezzling tens of thousands of dollars meant to help sick and dying children, authorities said. Jennifer Woodley, 40, was charged with first-degree theft and the unauthorized use of a credit card for the months-long theft that began in the summer of 2019, according to a criminal complaint. Woodley became president of the Iowa chapter in August 2019. Two months later, she granted herself a $10,000 bonus that wasn’t approved by the group’s board, the complaint states. She is also accused of using the organization’s credit card to spend $23,000 on herself during a 10-month span, without reimbursing the group.
