So do the math. Why do you feel you, of thousands others in your situation, should have been the ones to get the vaccine? Which of those thousands of others in your situation should have been told no instead of you?
MOST people have not been vaccinated yet. MOST people who were veterans of more than one war, whose immunity systems are compromised currently (not just 20 years ago), who have heart conditions, lung conditions, or other disabilities that put them at risk, were not able to get vaccinated.
You are no more deserving than any of them. You didn't hit the button at the right moment. You'll get your chance eventually, just like everyone else who missed their chance this time around.

You make a valid point, OOB. But....there must be some people who are over 65 and have no co-morbidities that put them at risk of a bad outcome if they contract Covid who did hit the button and "got in" to get a ticket. I can see why it doesn't seem fair to thousands of people, especially compromised veterans who served our country, to wind up behind folks who are healthy but just the right age to qualify.
