Nearly 40% of US Marines are declining Covid-19 vaccinations, according to data provided to CNN on Friday by the service, the first branch to disclose service-wide numbers on acceptance and declination.
As of Thursday, approximately 75,500 Marines have received vaccines, including fully vaccinated and partially vaccinated service men and women. About 48,000 Marines have chosen not to receive vaccines, for a declination rate of 38.9%.
CNN has reached out to the other services for acceptance and declination rates.
The corresponding acceptance rate for vaccinations among Marines -- 61.1% -- is not far off the military estimate of two-thirds, or about 66%. Another 102,000 Marines have not yet been offered the vaccines. The total number of Marines includes active-duty, reserves and Individual Mobilization Augmentee Marines.
The declination rate at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, one of the prominent Marine Corps bases, was far higher, at 57%, according to another set of data provided to CNN. Of 26,400 Marines who have been offered vaccinations, 15,100 have chosen not to receive them, a number that includes both II Marine Expeditionary Force and Marine Corps Installation East -- Camp Lejeune. Another 11,500 active-duty Marines are scheduled to be offered the vaccines.
"We fully understand that widespread acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccine provides us with the best means to defeat the pandemic. The key to addressing the pandemic is building vaccine confidence," Marine Corps spokeswoman Col. Kelly Frushour told CNN in a statement.
Frushour said there are a number of potential reasons a Marine may choose not to receive a vaccine, including allowing others to receive it first, waiting until it becomes mandatory, getting it through other channels or being allergic to the vaccine.
"Service members who decline one day can change their mind and become vaccinated when next the opportunity presents itself," she said.

My cousin is married to a vaccinated Marine Corps Colonel.
They vaccinated my cousin and their three kids, too.
Her husband used to be a tank battalion commandeer.
I do not know what job he has since his promotion.
“This isn’t the story...
The real story is why are nearly 40% of marines pu$$ies.”
These Marines are very intelligent and know as very fit and healthy, they are not likely to see any effect from the ChiCom Virus.
Same as almost all children.

What does the mRNA Therapy injection do? It causes the body to replicate a protein in excess, forcing the immune system to deal with the invading horde or “spikes”.
What does a natural allergy do? When the allergen is breathed in, the body signals that it should create an excess of histamines which the body then uses as triggers (mostly mucous) through sneezing, coughing and a runny nose to “flush” out the invading horde of pollen.
So, allergy. Simple.
See post 6. I inverted the numbers
It’s insanity.
People who would sail right through covid without much issue are getting the jab and some are dying. People who had covid are getting the jab afterwards. People getting the jab are still getting covid afterwards. Now they want kids to get the jab even though they have a 99.999% survival rate. I saw happy Karens on St Louis 6pm news beaming with pride having offered up their kids for the jab. The doctors wanted to see if there would be a reaction. This was two months ago.
Insanity
White Supremacists in the military are self-identifying for Secretary of Defense Austin. “Head’em up, move’em out” with a BCD.
Oh, and before anyone asks...yes, that was sarcasm.
The “real” story should be “60% of Marines are refusing to be vaccinated for a virus that doesn’t impact 25 year olds.”
Pussy.
Haha comparing COVID to Anthrax?!? Bwahaha. If you think COVID is the threat anthrax is Pu$$y doesn’t even begin to cover what you are
