hi everyone, this is Huge (creator of TurboVax). the account zoomed past 1000 follows yesterday....and then some. this is 100% due to word-of-mouth so i thank you for sharing with your friends and family. i'm truly blown away by it all

(thread)

many of you have asked about eligibility. i understand your concerns! unfortunately i am the least qualified person to answer. the best i can do is signal boost and hope that others can answer your q's. seems like there are a lot good people following

others have asked about vaccines in LI and beyond. i recommend checking out the work by the good people at @ny_covid. they've got something similar going on, except they focus on both on/offline vaccine scheduling and cover many more sites too!

beyond that, the site may go down, data may sometimes be outdated, you may wonder why the account goes quiet for hours. i apologize in advance. in a perfect world, you wouldn't need to use TurboVax! i'd rather be sitting on my couch finishing Bridgerton if i can be honest

but i got my first-ever user email today, from a RN who wasn't able to schedule vaccines for her staff of 6 until she found them through TurboVax. i got a little shook! this whole time i've just been coding, i wasn't ready to know that this twitter bot would have real-life impact

all this to say, i'm just one guy with a day job—i have no idea where this goes next but will try my best to keep TurboVax going until many more New Yorkers are vaccinated. now let's get some shots!!
