They have the non mRNA version for the scaredy-cats. Since the topic was military obviously it would be about the 18+. Also just cause they haven't finished testing and final approval doesn't mean its not safe.

One can join the military at 17 with parent/guardian permission.
I guess you somehow believe there's a magic wall separating ages 16 and 17 or 18 so the vaccines only cause side effects in the younger ones?
How does the vaccine know how old you are? Has there been a study showing that vaccines only present risks to those less than 16?
Is 16-18 really far enough apart for EVERYONE in that group to know it's safe?
Just like driver's licenses, gun laws and the voting age, these demographic cut-offs are not universally sound. They are arbitrary ages based on someone's best guess.
In my opinion, the pharma companies are making a risk assessment and saying the consequences of getting infected are outweighed by the risks associated with the vaccine. They are NOT saying the vaccine's risks only occur in <16 year olds.
