No, this is the point the Alt Right keeps getting wrong. If you want a shot, you sign up, and wait in line. The state decides who goes first, and who gets a shot later. DeSantis is tilting the playing field in favor of the rich who will support him, and away from the people who have the highest casualties.
Then you go on to complain that Blacks get too much help... When it is the rich this time around, and many other times that get too much government help.

I don't think there's a lot of daylight between "signing up and waiting in line" and "making an appointment". You're really splitting hairs here. But if it makes you feel better, when I called the VA for an initial disability eval after I retired, I got put on "a list" and didn't get an "appointment" for like 2 months! And I'm a white guy!

Don't you think there should be a system of some sort? The group that is doing the most dying is 65 and older with co-morbidity problems, and they, along with some others(healthcare workers, teachers, police and fire, EMTs etc.)are in the first round. Screw your skin color and economic situation.

You have absolutely zero proof of that, and you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that. Did you ever think maybe Ocean Reef just got on "the list" first?

That is not what I said AT ALL. "Community organizers" swarm the poor black communities in election years, registering old and young blacks, their pets and their lunches to vote. Then on election day, they show up in vans to schlep these people to the polls and then pay them. Then they disappear until the next election. Get the "organizers" back in the "Community" and let them do some real good for a change. I'd be willing to bet not one of those old white people at Ocean Reef made their own appointments to get that shot. Some administrator probably just made a list and submitted it. It could just be that simple and efficient.

See? You came up with a great idea there! These poor black communities are NOT typically run by rich white republicans. They are run by democratically elected democrats. If you NEED help from the damn government, it should start on a municipal level. Get the mayor off his ass and tell him to make a damn list, I'll bet he's got the "Community organizers" on speed dial. As for me, I am not a rich white republican living at Ocean Reef. I am a lower middle class(thanks to COVID)white republican and I will make my own "appointment", or get on "the list" without anyone's help, especially the government's.
