It has been estimated that there at least 180,000 individuals in the United States Marine Corps in this country at any given moment in time. When you add that to the 38,000 reserve personnel, you certainly have a force to be reckoned with. However, here is a revelation for you: at least half of them are simply not buying the Democrat propaganda any longer. How so? Well, apparently CNN just got their hands on the first report that had been issued by a branch of the U.S. armed services last Friday. This report shows some figures related to the acceptable of the COVID-19 vaccines and the acceptance and rejection rates. Apparently, it looks like at least 40% of the USMC said they will pass on getting the vaccine in the first place.
The Marines Simply Not Drinking the Kool-Aid
The best way to sum it up is that CNN has been trying for several months now to have all of the branches of the military tell them just what their COVID-19 vaccine compliance statistics. They want to do so they can back up their earlier reporting that was claiming that about half of all service members are not interested in getting the shots.
This first report actually shows that the numbers aren’t that far off from their original expectations. However, it’s still low enough that the Pentagon will still not be able to claim any success on these expectations.
After looking at the data, the liberal news outlets have confirmed that world-wide “approximately 75,500 Marines have received their vaccines.” On the other hand, they are “48,000 who have chosen not to, and this will show up a declination rate of 38.9%.”
Of course, there are some people who would want to invert the numbers, which means that the “corresponding acceptance rate for these vaccinations” would work out to be 61.1%, and that’s fairly close to the “military’s estimate of two-thirds, or just about 66%.”
Sources also report that these most recent statistics don’t account for another 102,000 Marines simply because of the fact that they haven’t been offered the vaccines yet. The report includes active-duty, reserves, and Individual Mobilization Augmented Marine Units.
Camp Lejeune Scored Lower
Interestingly enough, the Marines at Camp Lejeune had a lower rate than many of the other Marines. For example, there was a poll that stated that only 57 percent of the Marines in that surrounding area had totally declined getting the vaccine. That is definitely not the answer that the Pentagon was looking for. Moreover, you can bet your bottom dollar that the experts at the Pentagon believe that they need higher numbers to get to this “herd immunity” that they keep talking about.
“We are in full understanding that the will need to have widespread understanding of the COVID-19 vaccine because that will give us the best chance of defeating the pandemic. Thus, we have to keep building confidence in this vaccine.”
Well, she has her work cut out for her. Not only are her fellow Marines kind of hesitant to accept the vaccine, but it appears that this condition is mutating into other strains where the vaccine is not as effective. Of course, many of these liberals want to force members of our armed forces such as those in the Marines to have no say whatsoever in taking this vaccine, and considering that they are fighting for the continued freedom of our great nation, that will go over like a lead balloon.
