We need to talk about a major problem, Virginia. Namely: Many rural folks are having a hard time getting vaccines in their own communities. This is because getting appointments largely depends on internet access. 1/4

Urban/suburban Virginians (who often can& #39;t get appointments in their own communities but have great internet access) jump on rural appointments that actual residents haven& #39;t even seen are available yet... because our internet is terrible. So we lose our vaccines to outsiders. 2/4

I& #39;ve been seeing urban and suburban Virginians justify this by arguing that appointments are only available in rural communities because rural folks "don& #39;t believe in vaccines." But that& #39;s not the case at all: we just can& #39;t respond to the few vacancies we have as fast as you. 3/4

I& #39;ll close by saying that I am genuinely not trying to shame anyone here. I think this is a case of a lot of people lacking the proper context of what we& #39;re dealing with out here in rural communities. But now you know. It& #39;s a problem, and it should stop. 4/4
