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.
