Well shit, I did all the crap online to try to get an appointment for the vaccine

when they get some. The I get an email that says, in part, this-

"You will receive a QR code as confirmation of your appointments, which you should present on your phone when you arrive to get vaccinated."

I don't have a fancy damn cell phone. The fact that I did not list a cell number on my paperwork should have clued them in. This reeks of DeSatan incompetence. I am really pissed.

For a long time I printed the bar code for boarding passes simply because I didn’t have a phone that would load apps. The printed version worked in those instances.

Done the same for movie tickets I purchased online.

The bar Foad will work on screen or paper.

You can't even make an appointment in New York, and they're booked out as far as April. I'm in group 1b, and it could possibly be June before I get an appointment. That means the general public could get theirs in the spring of 2022. Trump fucked this thing up so badly half the country could be dead before this is over.

and at the end it showed me the closest place to TRY to get the vaccine was about an hour-and-a-half drive from here in Tampa Bay. You say 'incompetence' and I say 'evil'. There are Canadians and people from other Countries that are not Florida citizens that have already had their vaccine here in Florida. Can't make this shit up.

It also frosts my ass that my wife and I have to make separate appointments. Like gas is free and our time has no value.

Evil works for me. DeSatan is a real piece of work.
