Sitting in front of a computer clicking refresh constantly in the hope of being the first to have access to Eventbrite when an event goes live.

That event? A possible COVID vaccination for my parents.

That's right. Florida is running it's vaccine program through Eventbrite.

There's SO MUCH that is wrong with this. Including the fact that some of the most at risk people don't have access to computers or the internet. So they are basically totally fucked with this process. Which doesn't just put them at risk, it puts all of us at greater risk.

The most vulnerable are more likely to die because of the right's deep commitment to not having a functioning government. At some point it's not negligence. It's murder.

Update: the promised 3PM update indicates that there will now be a 3:30PM update... and suggests that "very few" opportunities will be available. I might be here a while. This could be every day for several days, even.

To the skeptical folks... here’s how you can try to register (all 800 slots were gone in 2 minutes): https://www.eventbrite.com/o/florida-department-of-health-sarasota-32135779751
