The coronavirus vaccine rollout will be messy. People will have to deal with that.

None of this is surprising.

not surprising, and some of that is clearly the best everyone involved can do and they're trying for better yet, but a lot of that is just disappointing

hey, you're from the future!

It's a lot like the present, except eversomuchmoreso.

It will definitely be messy. What will be interesting will be to see how many people refuse it, so how will that accelerate people lower on the eligibility list getting it.

Sadly, slower and uneven adoption will slow down herd immunity.

I attended a Zoom meeting last week about my university's part in the roll-out. They have a cryo-freezer capable of holding over 100k doses! I was impressed. They didn't specify, but I guess it's because of their space/aerospace programs. So they will be receiving quantities of the vaccine and be involved in the distribution process, they're also located next to the intersection of two interstates, so easy access.

Certainly not surprising, no. This is the sort of thing that happens when you have more than fifty jurisdictions that have to figure out their own response and infrastructure, instead of having some organizing entity to coordinate them into one response.
