AesopSpouse made the same observation to me not long before I checked in on the thread here and saw Neo’s comment. Great minds etc etc.
If we had reporters instead of Journalists, someone might have asked Fauci that question.
IIRC, many military folk are holding off precisely because they are in that demographic, which is much less likely to either get the virus or suffer seriously if they do, plus they are much more physically fit than the desk warriors which reduces their danger even more.
It’s a rational risk assessment.
I don’t think herd immunity factors in significantly if the crowd not vaccinated is highly likely to be either uninfected or asymptomatic, which means less likely to transmit. Same as with the theater of vaccinating children under 12. They should only get the shots when older.

We can watch and see how many CDC staffers get sick, I suppose.
Statistics still work if you input the right numbers.

One picture is worth a thousand guffaws – Fauci and the infinite mask trick.

Because they don’t know how long your immunity will last, and so the idea is that the shot will help and act as a sort of booster. It is similar to what they tell me, as a person who has already had shingles, about getting the shingles shot. They recommend getting it anyway even though it is exceedingly rare to have shingles twice. Of course, in the case of shingles, it’s not contagious so the decision to have or not have the shot affects only the health of the person making the decision.

I think they also recommend COVID shots for those who have had it because some people who say they’ve had it didn’t really have it, they just had something with similar symptoms around the same time but were never tested.

And of course I don’t think they really want any of us to go back to normal life. So that would include those who have had COVID and are fine now.

They let industry over promise and they failed to spread their commitments around, unlike Trump and the newly freed from the EU, Great Britain. They badly managed matters and continue to persecute industry instead of treating modern science as their wondered friends in promoting national well-being and health care.

Yet these fake, corrupt institutions kept everyone in the dark, killing 10,000 of Americans needlessly.

They could have announced that these were coming by December and tell states to prepare to distribute them by the 10s of millions.

They knew but didn’t. Why? Why were tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousands not saved by such local health department preparedness? When it’s the CDCs essential job?

GET TRUMP OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE! Political messaging mattered much more to these evil tax payer dungeons of Hell than than, perhaps, enable Trump’s re-election. Ergo, no pre-election greatness for out great President was permitted to shine in him before Election Day.

In getting a Trump Vaccination myself. He’s The a people’s hero to Americans.

Neo, you’re behind the curve in Evil Detection, here. Far behind. Unaccountable evil and wildly over compensated.

Geoffrey Britain is absolutely correct to condemn the CDC: “They’re also complicit in mass murder.”
Everyone thought I’d could not be done, but through OWS is was done.

And Trump led it.

Shocking: Fauci Admits That At Least 40%, and Maybe As High as 50%, of His Own Agency’s Employees are Refusing to Get the Vaccine
A lot of government pressure — and some rumors of actual legal coercion — to get you to take the vaccine, while government employees, who could be ordered to get vaccinated as a condition of their employment, refuse and are permitted to refuse.

Fauci firs says “a little bit over half” of his agency is vaccinated, then says “probably sixty percent.”

Sixty percent is not “a little bit” over half.

I take the first as more likely to be truthful, and I take his edging that up to sixty percent as a dishonest attempt to cover up for his first more-truthful estimate, after he realized the implications of it.

Rachel Walensky of the CDC refused to even answer! So you know the CDC is just as unvaccinated, or even more so!

…
I was pro-vaccine until this.

These people are engaging in a public pressure campaign to get other people to take the vaccine while refusing to do so themselves?! There is only one reasonable conclusion to draw from this!

Walensky is merely “encouraging” her staffers at the CDC to get vaccinated, while proposing “vaccine passports” to mandate that the rest of us do?!
