Yeah, I'm also just waiting for them to open it up to general availability - but it's irritating.

Which part? I think the rollout has been quite good. Particularly compared to, well, most countries. Every state and locality can have different rules, which I get is frustrating from a consistency and public messaging standpoint, but people get equally frustrated with a top-down approach where the rules don't make sense everywhere. Each locality has generally started with healthcare workers, old-age homes, and 65+.. beyond that I think there are diminishing returns with slicing and dicing the populace more carefully, so some states throw open the doors and others try to be more targeted. shrug It doesn't seem to be affecting the speed of vaccinations, which seems quite good, so I'm okay with waiting. I'm also somewhat okay with people jumping the line because at this point I think it's mostly important to get the numbers up, not gatekeeping.

  I find it irritating that I'm waiting while others are lying to get it when I think it's time to open it up to general access. I agree it's important to get the numbers up at this point, so just make it GA. > "beyond that I think there are diminishing returns with slicing and dicing the populace more carefully, so some states throw open the doors and others try to be more targeted." I agree - which is why I'd like it to open up. 40% of people over 16 in SF now have had it - let me get it too. https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1375131053518508033 https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1375131053518508033

    Fair. Now that I'm having surgery in 3 weeks, and spending a lot of time in doctor's offices, I'm kinda wishing I had already gotten it. I guess there's still time for J&J, but not a multi-dose, not when avoiding 1 week before or after surgery timeframes.
