VEXATION NATION REPORTS: The struggle to land vaccine appointments has been terrestrial, but the frustration has one Stockbridge man pondering deep space.
âI could have taken a course in astrophysics in the time I have wasted searching for a vaccine shot,â Mark Mills told us Wednesday morning from Stockbridge. âMy computer mouse is exhausted. My right index finger is begging for a day off. This morning I went to the state vaccine appointment website and saw 18 slots available tomorrow at Berkshire Community College. When I clicked the âscheduleâ button it jumped to the dreaded page that says âno more appointmentsâ which is burning its image onto my laptop screen. I have repeatedly had similar experiences, which are technology breakdowns, not a shortage of vaccine.
