Today is #VaccineHunting day & this is my 2nd🧵: This morning I failed to connect & book an appt thru the totally screwed up #OntarioVaccineBooking site, I went to check @VaxHuntersCan to see what they had & saw this👇. Here is my "Pop-up" journey. #onpoli

After fighting cross town traffic, I was in this line that stretched 5 blocks long, with the music of thunder & down pour mixed in. Apparently once we got closer to door, the lucky ones will get a winning ticket for the 💉shot, it was lining up for the lottery. #onpoli

Let it be on record - I got to the end of this line at 2:30 pm ET. #onpoli

The line was moving a bit, every now and then, for the first 1/2 hour, and then it STOPPED...Meanwhile, it started to thunder and the rain came again. 🙄#onpoli

Another 20 minutes went by, minimal movements. About 6 ppl ahead me was a family of 4. They sent the mom up to the front to check on the status. She came back and said there were only about 60 tickets left. They knew it was no way they would get theirs, so they left. #onpoli

Remember, I was about six people behind this family. I had a heavy duty raincoat on, but my feet were soaked. The 💉wasn't going to happen. With one last look at the long line, time to call it quit. #onpoli

Conclusion from today's experience:
1. These Pop-up clinics are NOT for the faint of heart. You better have the stamina to stand outside in the elements for at least a hour+.

2. IF the Ontario Vaccine Booking system isn't so screwed up, we wouldn't need these popup clinics! This is a #FordVaccineFailure!!! #VoteFordOut2022 #VotePCPOout #onpoli

"Just because you can, doesn't mean you will" - there you have it, my new slogan for #OntarioVaccineHunting #onpoli
