Rate is a military term that is used when speaking between two Marines or sailors. It’s ship slang when referring to one’s status within the rank structure. Different ranks rate different privileges and customs when interacting with subordinate peers.
Typically this term is used when inferring someone doesn’t have the necessary status to do something.

A boot checks into the new unit, two NCOs walk up smoking and joking. This boot walks up and starts bullshiting like he’s earned his status. One of his NCOs will most likely say “You d-mb b!tch you must think you’re back on the block right? You don’t RATE, why don’t you unf—k yourself and go to parade rest before I use your a—hole as a boot strap”
Boot Pfc : Hey Sergeant, can I get a beer too?
Sergeant: B!tch, you don’t rate. I guess we just think we’re boys right?

Get the Rate the Stache 1-10mug. It's not a bad thing that the vaccination rate is lower than what some entities would like, at least people that haven't gotten a vaccine know that there are plenty of other people that haven't been bought into a vaccine line, and have no intention of getting in line with the agenda of these entities, even if they are told that they are outnumbered by people who are or have been standing in a vaccine line.
At least not everybody would get a vaccine because their kids are offered a scholarship or they could win a few million dollars in a vaccine lottery, good for them. That way the vaccination rate stays lower than some entities would like, even if it's not really low enough.
