As I have been following the New Jersey vaccine chaos it is a clear reflection of the gross incompetence of the State.
For example, in the WHYY website they note:
New Jersey residents have several options to register for the COVID-19 vaccine, including state and county websites, health care systems, and pharmacies. But the many options and high demand have also led to confusion and frustration for people hoping to make appointments....“A number of times, I get all the way to the appointment page, and I choose an appointment,” she said. “I click on submit and the whole thing would crash. It would say an error occurred, and it was right back to the beginning.”...Burlington County has partnered with Virtua Health for its vaccination site at Moorestown Mall. A spokesman for the company said its website was overwhelmed when it first launched, but its IT department has since fixed the issues...The short answer is that not all of the scheduling systems talk to one another, so if you registered with a county or pharmacy website, the state website will never know. As NJ Spotlight recently reported, only about 5% of all vaccine sites are using the state’s online registration system to schedule appointments, so even if you pre-register through the state, you will likely still need to make an appointment with your local vaccine site separately. Fisher said New Jersey is trying to make communication among the systems better.
Basically NJ has allowed the explosion of a near infinite number of sites, all being poorly designed and for the most part dysfunctional. If one was critical of the former President then the current Governor appears even grossly more incompetent. There are State web sites, County sites, hospital sites, pharmacy sites, and of course if you are friends, you just make a call and you are in. This will go down in history as an assault on human kind! That is what you get for electing a Harvard MBA plus a Banker, and having Nurse Ratchet in charge.
