As of Monday, 92 percent of Marines are fully vaccinated and 95 percent have at least one shot, leaving about 9,000 people without any vaccine immunity. The numbers for the Navy are 96.3 percent fully vaxxed, 97.2 percent partially vaxxed, leaving about 9,500 sailors with no vaccine immunity.
Meanwhile, the Navy has lowered its official vaccination rate after discovering errors in their data. On Nov. 24, officials reported a fully-vaxxed rate of 97 percent and a partially vaccinated rate of 99.8 percent.
“A recent review of the vaccination reporting and tracking system revealed discrepancies in the data and were appropriately corrected. Discrepancies included total force numbers and redundant entries. We strive to provide the most accurate and timely information to maintain transparency regarding the Navy’s effort to fight COVID-19,” Lt. Devin Arneson, a Navy spokeswoman, said in an email.
Now we know the actual size of the Marine Corps. For a minute I was worried.
Don’t believe any of their numbers.
Nowhere near as many people took the frankenshots as they would have you believe.
