is the second one really the same meaning in layman's terms?

These folks ought to know but who in their right mind would trust them?

Troops’ infection rate now stands at 1,338-per-million, or 0.1 percent, versus the overall U.S. rate of 1,770-per-million, or close to 0.2 percent.

Thank you. There's the answer right there. The answer is, "No", not "d-uhhhhhh, I dunno."

Military personnel who got the flu shot are half as likely to get covid-19 than the general population.

Sheesh. What was so hard about that?

‘SARS vax’ != flu vax.

Totally different pathogens.

Now, let’s compare age demographics.

Troops average age vs. Average age of rest of population.

I suspect the study is not taking into consideration that the older and also those suffering from major health problems are much more likely to get vaccinated. They are aware of their frailties and are careful to take precautions.

Therefore, since those who are older and have health problems are the largest group to get vaccinated, ....the results of the study would show just that.

If you are old, infirm and suffering life threatening health problems, you are the most likely to die.

Thus another great discovery.

Hell does the flu shot protect you against the flu?

It has proven to be less than effective because it is not known which variation they are combating.

humm, sounds similar to another result by Dr. Mikovitz, who said that her refusal to back down before fauci and co got her targeted, “tarred” as an anti-vaxer, fired, and finally even imprisoned w/o due process.

it’s enough to make you think about skipping the hit-or-miss influenza vaccine until covid19 mutates itself into oblivion.

You’re the one that implied the one was equal to the other. Ie, troop == general population.

‘Troop’ are more likely to be in the ‘asymptomatic’/uninfected age demographic.

Unless you think DOD is signing up senior citizens and the middle aged?

Not only that, the older get a ‘special vax’ that’s much stronger than the one given to everyone else.

I always found it interesting that my boss, who always got a flu shot, was invariably sick most of the winter with upper respiratory infection after upper respiratory infection.

I never got the flu shot and oddly enough, after i began taking D3 supplements never got any URI’s.

Wait. What? I'm not doing that. Dr. Gregory Wolff in Science magazine is doing that.

If you want to compare it to the elderly, it would stand to reason the percentage is even lower.

My wife decided a few years back she would indulge her doctor and get a flu shot.

Couldn’t move her arm for over a month. She has not indulged again.

The vast majority of troops are under age 30.

Probably 99.9% under age 50.

Vastly different than the general population.

Even if that is the case, is the difference due to the flu shot, or the fact that military personnel are generally in far better physical condition than the general population?

Obfuscate much?

The average age for troop will ALWAYS be lower than the average age for the general population.

Troop are only recruited from the 18-35yr olds.

General population is everyone.

They are *also* the healthiest demographic, you aren’t going to recruit cancer patients or the chronically ill.

General population is everyone.

Extrapolation of ‘troop’ health statistics to ‘general population’ health statistics is unwise for those reasons alone.

Okay. The answer is the same. If the flu shot made those people more vulnerable, their infection rate wouldn't be half the general population's.

This suggests a question:

When did the crew of the USS Theodore Roosevelt (and their CO) get flu shots?

I didn't write the piece. I'm just picking it apart. Coronaviruses don't know how old their hosts are.

This is not a matter of severity, it's a matter of who is infected with it.

If the flu shot made military personnel MORE vulnerable, then MORE military personnel would get infected.
