Biden Administration To Offer COVID Vaccine To Gitmo Prisoners As Early As next week

According to a report by the New York Times, the Biden administration will be offering the COVID vaccine to Gitmo prisoners by the beginning of next week. This is long before the vaccine will be made available to all American citizens.

“The prosecutor, Clayton G. Trivett Jr., wrote to defense lawyers on Thursday ‘that an official in the Pentagon has just signed a memo approving the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine to the detainee population in Guantánamo’” read the report. “Medical workers at the U.S. naval base began vaccinating the 6,000 residents on Jan. 8, including the 1,500 troops assigned to the detention operation. But the Trump administration had declined to say whether prisoners would be vaccinated.”

While the rush to vaccinate imprisoned terrorists is going on, only 21.69 million Americans have been vaccinated so far. According to Fauci, 75-80% of Americans should be vaccinated before safety measures can be rolled back.

The Pentagon says the 40 detainees at Guantánamo Bay will be given Covid-19 vaccines. The lack of vaccinations there has been a major obstacle to resuming war crimes hearings. https://t.co/rene2fAOmv

It is unknown how many of the prisoners at Gitmo will take the vaccine.
