WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House confirmed Monday that more than 90% of 3.5 million federal employees covered by a presidential COVID-19 vaccine mandate have received at least one vaccine dose ahead of a Monday deadline.

In total, the administration has deemed 95% of federal workers comply with its requirements in that either they have been vaccinated, are completing vaccinations or have a pending religious or medical exemption request, the White House said.

At least this sortof narrows down how many loons are there (and there are definitely some, having worked with a few back in the day). I expect the largest non-compliant set are literally in the largest (non-military) Department - DHS (and specifically there has apparently been a resistance problem with TSA, as I've heard on the news here).
