Gitmo prisoners will be offered COVID-19 vaccines next week – in front of most Americans

Prisoners held by the US government in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have been cleared by the Pentagon to receive COVID-19 vaccines as early as next week if they so choose, putting suspected terrorists well in front of the vast majority of Americans in line for inoculation.

What are the details?

The New York Times reported on Friday that “a prosecutor in charge of the case against five prisoners accused of conspiring in the attacks of September 11, 2001” wrote to defense lawyers on Thursday, “a Pentagon official is coming. to sign a note approving the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine to the population detained at Guantanamo. ”

Prosecutor Clayton Trivett, Jr., also noted that inmates could receive their first dose of inoculation “on a voluntary basis” as early as Monday.

The Times reported that residents of the US Naval Base began to receive the shots on January 8, “but the Trump administration had refused to say whether the prisoners would be vaccinated.”

Now, under the Biden administration, the Pentagon has given the go-ahead to vaccinate accused terrorists such as alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (pictured above), protecting against COVID-19 as the majority of the American public – including its vulnerable seniors. population – he was told to wait for months.

A spokesperson for the Department of Defense confirmed the news to the New York Post, telling the media outlet that coronavirus vaccines will be “offered to all detainees and prisoners.”

The outlet noted:

Forty inmates remain at the United States military prison in Cuba, including the man accused of plotting the worst attack on American soil, which claimed the lives of 2,977 innocent people on September 11, 2001 and has since been linked to thousands more dead.

The Daily Mail reported that the prioritization of Gitmo comes as the United States experiences a shortage of vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna, noting that only 26 million Americans have received a vaccine against the coronavirus.

The outlet also pointed out that several social media users were expressing their disgust at the Biden administration’s decision, including one person who wrote: “Here’s a trivial question. Who gets the vaccine first, a diabetic from 74 years old living in NE Philly or the guy who planned the 911 attacks in prison in Guantanamo Bay? ”

While some people have expressed reluctance to get the shot, others are scrambling to get a head start on the jab. A Mexican TV host flew to Florida and was somehow able to get the picture in front of the elderly Floridians who had lined up, and the Hollywood elites would do everything in their power to avoid them. – even the queue.

However, the accused American murderers apparently took priority over the accused Gitmo murderers: OJ Simpson was able to get vaccinated on Friday.
