I'm not going to make any judgements about it though, considering I don't know anything about how things were in California. In Maryland they had county level registrations that went through tiers of at risk groups, plus state-wide vaccination sites that were open to anyone, so I ended up getting my vaccination a few weeks before I would have if I'd waited for "my turn" with the county vaccination program.
From the tweets now deleted, looks like the internal bookface post in question wasn't all that popular and got roundly criticized.
At least it got 0 upvotes and every single response told him he was wrong. Doesn't seem like he learned his lesson, however it's clear almost nobody else approves of this mentality.
(I think the first one was way worse; he was advocating lying.)
Seems like there's definitely more to it?
