This is a weird source. GreatGameIndia.com? And the first link that supposedly looks to verify their number (75%) is just a link to itself.

Then they give a link to a politico article that gives a completely different number- 33%, and follow it up by saying as much: "According to the latest reports issued by the Pentagon, one-third of the US troops have refused to take the vaccination to shield themselves from the coronavirus."

They never justify their initial claim of 75%, or how they got to that number.

It's like they're not even trying to hide the disinformation, or the writer is way to lazy to try to do it. Sometimes the links can send one on a wild goose chase.

I came here to post what you've posted.

The actual report: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/17/troops-covid-vaccine-pentagon-469518

"One-third of troops turning down Covid vaccine, Pentagon officials say"

(Some on Saidit might nonetheless consider this 75% article '[insightful]'.)

[Edit: insightful instead of inciteful, thanks to Earendil.]

Holy shit.

I cannot believe you actually said that.

These jokes literally write themselves.

    Interesting - I'll look for the article and for lipoprotein PEG.

    Which is good, considering the vaccines are only 95% effective at creating acute antibodies in humans and Covid doesn't have herd immunity so it is pointless trying to get everyone to get it. And the added PEG lipoproteins in Pfizer, Astra, and Moderna is a slap in the face.

    Why would I possibly want to spend time asking soldiers what they want to do?

    Because a rebellion from within the army could empower the public.

    Senior enlisted (and many lower enlisted) have real street smarts. Practical social intelligence, and experience being lied to by power.

    Most officers are smart enough, but rank lower in street smarts, as it's mostly been "educated" out of them.
    Even so, most officers have (ugly) wives who are smarter than their husbands.
    These gossiping wives have useful intel.

    Well I can see you are the leadership cadre of the Revolution.

    The military revolution would be a coup, and I want no part of that.

    I'm a man of the people.

    BTW: Did you like the comment about the wives? It's hilarious. I have no idea why that happens.

    Maybe they're gay, and want someone smart to talk to...? Who knows?

    Because you were paid to do it. Possibly.
