What I find amazing about all of this is that every organization, business, airline, whatever, are all saying vaccination rates of around 90%. And yet the level of reported vaccination rates in the public are reported as far lower, about 60%.
Even given demographic differences, I can't see how you get from 60% to 90%. My own employer was reporting rates far, far below 90%. They have serious concerns about being able to being able to execute contracts. We have already lost a bunch of key people to early retirement over the vax mandate, and are having issues finding experienced replacements As a result, my employer is being very reasonable with regards to exemptions.
I do not for a moment believe the numbers coming out of the DOD on vaccination rates. I think it is far lower, and the current discharges are an attempt to scare others into compliance. I would also bet a good number of the unvacced are in key technical roles that are likewise hard to replace, things like pilots & aviation techs.
If they really carry through on discharging folks, then I believe we will suffer a huge readiness issue. Whether that is by accident or by design I would hate to say, but with the current ruling class we have, outright damage to the US cannot be ruled out as a motivation.
