14. I think most of those people are likely very foolish.

Perhaps some wish to return to some other country that won't admit them without proof that they've been vaccinated? (Is there one yet?)

Or someone has COPD and 4 teen dependents, all working and playing, and has been so worried for months that sitting out in the cold to get it first thing is, yes, probably foolish but nevertheless just worth it to her?

Most are not going to have good reasons for not having the sense to continue sheltering at home for a week or two while this gets better organized. Probably more than a little anxiety and paranoia at work, and of course ignorance.

Btw, for most in at least the first groups, "better organization" is going to mean making appointments to be vaccinated on line -- most probably with their county health departments, arriving at that time, being vaccinated without exposure to crowds, and coming back for the second appointment and second shot in a month.
