Carey, I agree that the people who showed up before their appointments were idiots who should have been turned away. You don't seem to want to answer the question about why there was a completely inadequate response to their bad behavior. The answer is bad management by the bureaucrats in charge. Just have security escort them away from the line. Also, DOH of all people should know about exponential spread. When the first idiots got through, the first thing some of them did was call their friends who called others to come on down.
People who tried to reschedule their appointments were doing what they were clearly told (I saw the email and on line posts) they could do. So you blame the victims when the system failed to do what it was supposed to for them? And how would you know how many people changed their time on a "whim?" Did you talk to a significant portion of them?
Finally, you don't address the DOH's caving in to political pressure when it came to who got vaccinated first. That's a big reason there was such a rush and some people behaved in an unacceptable manner. DOH should have been better prepared for it, but like most state agencies in Hawaii, thinking on their feet isn't a valued quality.
I do volunteer to help people with their taxes and in other ways. You probably don't want me at your next event, because I would likely call out some of both the attendees and the officials in charge as idiots, which they are.
