Why destroy vaccines?

I just read about hundreds of vaccines being purposefully destroyed on two occasions; the first time was by a “hospital worker” and the second was by a pharmacist. Any ideas about why people would do that?

One happened in Wisconsin. It’s so stupid. It could have been pure ignorance or an intentional sabotage, either way, it’s dumb. Not sure why. Because they don’t believe it works?
It was intentional sabotage. She has been arrested.
If it’s the same pharmacist I read about there simply weren’t people coming in the get the vaccine quick enough and the inventory he had in stock went bad, and thus had to be destroyed.
I also heard at least one case was intentional and I have no idea why.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a case of a simple mistake also and it ruined some vaccine. Human error or incompetence.
Otherwise, if it’s expired it needs to be destroyed. I’ve already heard of one story of a pharmacist calling up people he knew, because the next morning the vaccine would have to be destroyed. I think it was a partial vial. Three people came in in the evening for the shots. That’s probably happening all over the country. Better to vaccinate then to destroy.
If the integrity of the vaccine has been jeopardized then it must be destroyed.
I read a historical tome a few years ago, by Margaret W. Tuchman. “A Distant
Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century”. I don’t see how many prior era could be worse than the 21st Century is looking to be.
The person destroying vaccines purposefully would be an anarchist. There have been a lot of those around lately.
If they were not kept properly refrigerated they may not be safe.
The pharmacist admitted he did it on purpose but gave no reason. I just can’t figure out the rational behind it, even when I try to think like he might have been.
