I looked up the percentage of the US population vaccinated for Covid 19. According to the CDC website
https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-people-booster-percent-pop5 the vaccination rate for people age 12 and older is over 90%.
This website that breaks the data down by state
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1202065/population-with-covid-vaccine-by-state-us/ There seems to be a correlation between southern and Midwestern states having lower vaccination rates.
2015 enlistment data by state from this website
https://blog.theveteranssite.greatergood.com/states-enlistment-rates/ shows higher enlistment rates from southern and midwestern states. It appears to me that the military is having trouble recruiting from what, at one time, was their biggest source of recruits.
The question is if Covid 19 vaccination status is the only factor, I don't think it is.
If you were to consider recruits as the militaries customers, I think the military has brought a Bud Lite moment on themselves. The customers have begun to question whether or not there's something more aligned with their values available, maybe something better. That's hard to come back from, it's worse than a boycott.
Another way to look at CDC numbers would be this:
Number of people who got ONLY ONE JAB, 270 Million, 81%
Number of people who got “primary series” 230 Million, 69.5% Some said NO to second JAB. Compliance already dropping.
Number of people who got Bivalent Booster 56 Million 17%
Now Pfizer, FDA, CDC, etc. are saying the latest Jab is a vaccine NOT a booster, and SAY NOTHING about REQUIRING prior Jabs. Isn’t that ODD???
Not sure what “booster” we are on, but only a small percentage of sheep are still getting Jabbed. There are so many combinations of number of Jabs people have received, what is the current true definition of “fully vaccinated?” Is that definition even ligitimate?
