weird seeing American friends in this free for all scramble for vaccines, while here it's "someone will be in touch later this summer"

I guess it's a bit of that disaster altruism feeling kicking in - US folks are taking it on themselves to become experts at the convoluted systems and eligibility criteria, booking slots on behalf of others. they're Taking Action and Caring For Others.
