It must be nice up there on your high horse. Just watch that you don't get a nosebleed.
Meanwhile back in reality...
I wasn't in a rush to get the vaccine. In fact I was right there with you in the nosebleed section griping about people fighting and clawing to "get there first." I thought it was poor planning on the state's part to not require proof of Florida residency from the first moment of the first day of available vaccines, and have no problem attributing SOME of the blame for the initial roll-out on non-Floridians coming here to get the vaccine while so many Floridians weren't able to get an appointment.
However - I waited my turn. I wasn't eligible for months because I'm not 60, I'm not a medical worker, I'm not an at-risk patient. When they finally said 50+ was eligible I put my name on the waiting list, and was happy to get the vaccine whenever they could fit me in. Even if I had to wait another few weeks. As it was, I only had to wait 3 days for the appointment, which was set for the week after that.
There are MILLIONS of people who are in the same boat I'm in.
So keep laughing.
Humanity will survive, or not, despite your laughter.
