Story. Name changed to protect the (mostly) innocent.
My friend Todd is over 65 and lives in CA. The other day, Governor Newsom goes on national TV and says those over 65 are now eligible for the vaccine. Todd goes online, and makes an appointment at a mass vaccination site.

Upon arrival, Todd checks in and is asked for his health care worker ID. He's not a health care worker. He says "The Governor got on TV and said >65 was eligible. And the website allowed me to make an appointment"
Check-in worker says "NO" and puts a large X on his windshield

Funny enough, there's no place to turn around the car, so Todd has to go through the vaccination line, but is not allowed a vaccine. As he goes through the line, he keeps arguing. Shows the article on his phone. Re-iterates that he was allowed to make an appointment.
Director of the vaccination site eventually agrees with him. They have the dose ready. The governor told them >65 was eligible! They gave him an appointment. None of this is his fault.
Check-in worker loses her mind. Says if he gets a vaccine, she's calling the police. She won't be silent while someone tries to "jump the line"
Knowing if the police come, vaccines will be disrupted for the rest of the day, the director relents. Todd leaves unvaccinated.

Unclear if that dose was administered at all or trashed.
