Black and Female Soldiers the Least Likely to Get COVID Vaccine According to Study

Here is some interesting data from a recent study on vaccine hesitancy in the military:

Service members’ decisions on whether or not to get vaccinated vary significantly between different demographic groupings, according to a new military study. In addition to race, ethnicity, and age, researchers found that initiation of the vaccine process varied by branch of service, occupational specialty, and level of education.

Between the four military branches, the Army had the lowest rate of vaccination. Marines were 52 percent more likely to get vaccinated than soldiers. Sailors and airmen were respectively 45 percent and 15 percent more likely.

Black service members were least likely to choose to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, as well as female service members and those with lower ranks and education levels. Research surveying the civilian population also suggests high rates of vaccine hesitancy among Black Americans.

“Black service members were least likely to choose to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, as well as female service members and those with lower ranks and education levels.”

1. The brothers know what whitey is up to ever since the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

2. A lot of female service members won’t even use a còndom.

3. Those in lower ranks are in a demographic with an approximate death rate of 0.00%, if they even catch it.

4. The Milgram Experiment showed lower education levels correlated with lower authority bias, likely due to less conditioning.

Another case of completely unsurprising statistics.

The real question is why the military, that never met an experimental vaccine for improbable diseases they didn’t like, is oddly hesitant on this one… really only going through the motions of encouragement.

…almost like they are slightly worried about long-term readiness and slightly worried about people hitting up the VA and saying, “but you made me”.

Nothing feels right about this vaccine.

The next step is to spin this into some sort of oppressive discriminatory practice because these SMs will still need to wear masks which will just add to the supposed stigma that the evil white male establishment has created for helpless minorities trapped in a country built on systemic racism. You know this is coming.

Since when do they get a choice? My gamma globulin scar is outraged.
