If I understand you correctly, I believe you are reading more into this than was intended. As others have stated, and as shown on the Winn-Dixie page, these are the CDC guidelines: 75+ are in group 1B and 65+ in group 1C. These are the same groupings that all other sites in Florida are using EXCEPT that Florida is also allowing 65+ in group 1B.

As for the waiver, that *might* be common to all Covid vaccination locations.

As for my revealing my race: Either my race is so strikingly obvious that it cannot be a secret and is revealed on sight or my race is hidden so well that I can make up anything that I want. If I care that much about my race then I want to make sure they get it right so I'll fill it in myself. If I don't care then it won't bother me to fill it in either accurately or with any nonsense I can think of at the time. In the grand scheme of things, this is not what I would be concerned about.
