According to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tallies, the Defense Department has distributed more than 800,000 doses of the novel coronavirus vaccine, but has only put about 60 percent of those “shots in arms,” as the tagline goes.
[...]
“What we’re seeing right now is similar to what we’re seeing across the entire United States, in that there’s ... a higher percentage of people who are older who are opting to have the vaccine, and it trends down with age,” Friedrichs said.
In total, 816,175 doses have gone out. Of those, 67,913 are now fully vaccinated after their second dose. The Pentagon has refused to provide details on how many troops have been vaccinated, though DoD posts its confirmed COVID-19 cases broken down by service member, dependent, civilian and contractor.
Friedrichs could not offer an estimate of the take rate for the vaccine, as medical providers are not required to report up the chain if someone declines. The emergency use authorization renders the vaccine voluntary, and widespread distrust and misinformation have turned many off to the idea of inoculation.

I know lots of elderly people who have taken either the Pfizer or AZ vaccine, and not one of them have been infected with Covid or died as a result of it.
It’s been interesting to hear the side effects of the vaccine, which seem relatively minor, such as feeling fatigued, aches and pains, slight blurred vision for one of my uncles, but it has disappeared within three days tops.
The person administering the vaccines may have been infected and passed on the virus, a member of the caring staff could have infected them before the vaccines had time to work.
It takes up to 3 weeks for the vaccine to start providing some immunity and most have only received one shot to date, because our Government has decided to get one shot to the majority of elderly and vulnerable folk, before making the second dose available to them. There are signs that the vaccines are slowing down the spread of the virus, and we are awaiting further information from Oxford into the extent of its effects in this area.

It provides *no* immunity, as said it provides *weakened* symptoms... but you can still be a spreader......
So it just makes more asymptotic people, that still pass it on....
It’s nonsense.

If people ever take a deep breath ... and realize this whole pandemic was a World Government Psyop ... they're gonna literally tear their elected officials to pieces.

You are correct that is true, however it doesn't address the non-covid symptoms that suddenly effected so many of his patients.....horrible side effects.
Could the cure/vaccine be worse or just as bad as the disease ?
