No, the people of Sumter County are not being screwed. That's a narrative without facts.
The following data is as of February 3, 2021 using estimated population data from 2019 and vaccination data from
http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_pa...ort_latest.pdf
Florida has given enough first dose vaccinations to cover 6.4% of its residents.
Sumter County has given enough first dose vaccinations to cover 14% of its residents.
