On Thursday, the Biden administration announced its plan to offer coronavirus vaccinations to inmates at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba as early as next week, Pentagon officials told Fox News. The New York Times confirmed on Friday that “an official in the Pentagon just signed a memo approving the delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine to the detainee population in Guantanamo,” including terrorists like Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terror attacks. Under the plan, they’d be vaccinated before most Americans or even our troops. The order was signed on January 27 by Biden appointee Terry Adirim, the principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for health affairs.
“It will be administered on a voluntary basis and in accordance with the Department’s priority distribution plan,” DOD spokesman Michael Howard told the New York Post.
There is no information regarding how many Gitmo inmates, if any, are even infected, but the plan sparked outrage amongst Republicans.
“It is inexcusable and un-American that President Biden is choosing to prioritize vaccinations for convicted terrorists in Gitmo over vulnerable American seniors or veterans,” Rep. Elise Stefanik, (R-N.Y.) said on Twitter Saturday morning.
“President Biden told us he would have a plan to defeat the virus on day 1. He just never told us that it would be to give the vaccine to terrorists before most Americans,” tweeted Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
How does such a plan even get to the point of being approved? Is it really possible that no one in the Biden administration thought, “Hey, maybe vaccinating terrorists instead of American citizens isn’t a great idea!”?
“You can’t make this up. The ridiculousness of what we get from our government. They will run the vaccine down to those lowlifes at Guantanamo Bay before every resident of the United States of America gets it is the theater of the absurd,” Tom Von Essen, who was city Fire Commissioner during 9/11, told The New York Post. “It’s f—ing nuts.”
“I’m incensed. It’s totally outrageous. I’m 75. I haven’t gotten my COVID vaccine. They’re going to give it Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?” Brian Sullivan, a retired special security agent with the Federal Aviation Administration, told the Post. “This year will be the 20th anniversary and the terrorists are still at Guantanamo. And now we’re going to give them the COVID vaccine. It’s just insane.”
Thankfully, the Pentagon announced on Saturday afternoon that it is pausing the plan, following the backlash.
“No Guantanamo detainees have been vaccinated,” Defense Department Press Secretary John Kirby claimed in a tweet. “We’re pausing the plan to move forward, as we review force protection protocols. We remain committed to our obligations to keep our troops safe.”
Sure.

He a leftist, liberal, democrat what more can be expected of this crowd. This is what people voted for in a “Dishonest Election.” Now you reap the firestorm for their stupid choices.
I’ll give you vile libscum a good idea of where you can inject your devil’s brew vaccines.
You have to be kidding me. Beijing Biden has no mental capacity to think things through.
What an un-American decision to vaccinated terrorists and people in jail before nursing home and elder folks.
He is a retched piece of humanity.
Creepy sleepy Joe is insane and has no idea or clue of what his responsibility as a us president is or should be. He is definitely out of touch with reality and will continue to use his power to try and destroy our country. He is actually a walking, talking viral pandemic along with his vice president and corrupt administration. For one thing for sure, he needs to stop allowing his self from being a puppet for Barack Obama who has been an influence on all of his decisions. Joe isn’t running this country, kamala Harris and Obama are. “God help us” !!
Dictator-in-Chief Biden is a worthless globalist pos. He and his family have been corrupt, lying, cheating scum for decades..as is Pelosi’s crime family. Dictator Biden has been in politics 48 years and done NOTHING but LIE, PLAGERIZE, MANIPULATE, BULLY, DEMEAN, MOLEST CHILDREN, FILL HIS (and his family’s) OWN POCKETS WITH EXTORTION MONEY, BRIBERY, and COERCION. AND THE DUMBASS LEFTARDS THINK THAT’S JUST GREAT! Somehow the dumbed down Letards believe his dictatorial decisions won’t impact them. JOEPEDO HAS NEVER CARED ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Dictator Biden himself stated that anyone who rules by Executive Orders is a TYRANT…and he’s living up to his own predicted title…his 40 signed Executive Orders, all impact US in very negative ways and should wake people up!
Who the hell cares…those at Gitmo are criminals. HUNDREDS OF LEGITIMATE, FRONTLINE DOCTORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE BEEN WARNING PEOPLE *NOT TO TAKE THIS DEADLY VACCINE*…THOUSANDS HAVE DIED FROM THE VAX ALREADY…but lying lamestream media and DICTATOR JoePedo won’t let that news get out. This dictator-in-chief has one goal, finish destroying this country and enslaving every man, woman, and child to the tyrannical, genocidal rule of the NWO One World Government. And a DNA altering vax is just the thing to turn everyone into useful idiot puppets.
Bill DEPOPULATION POS Gates warned everyone who was paying attention, that 700,000 WOULD BE negatively effected (DIE) from this vax, primarily the elderly, those with comorbidity and those who are immuno-compromised.
CV has a 98% RECOVERY RATE!!, the CEO of Pfizer and the Fraud Fauci said there’s NO GUARANTEE the vax will prevent the spread of CV, and the former CEO of Pfizer said he WON’T be taking the vax. SO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS FILTHY VAX ACTUALLY FOR!!??
The former CEO, did not say he wasn’t taking the vaccine. he said he “would not cut” the line to take theshot.
Does this surprise anyone?
Who voted for Biden? I don’t know anyone who will admit it. Had to be stupid people that heard “If you don’t make over $400,000 a year, your taxes won’t go up.” But, look up the ladder where you work, for most people. Your boss’ taxes will go up. FORGET about asking for a raise!
The United States government is responsible for the health of anyone in its custody. Stop jewing the issue!
You JP are a racist and just took a cheap shot as the Jews
No Covid vaccinations for terrorists at Gitmo — let them get the virus and die a S L O W death. It’s called KARMA!!! Biden is dead from the neck up and has absolutely no idea what is going on and certainly does NOT think things out. That’s where his Socialist/Leftist/Communist friends come in, they are experienced in killing this country. Just ask Harris/Pelosi/Shumer/Sanders and we certainly cannot leave out AOC and her little Squad of idiots!
Biden is ONE sick Dementia ridden DOG FACE PONY SOLIDER besides a SICK PUPPY !
And so is every Democrat in this Nation. Greed, Narcissistic, Psychopaths–ALL of them. Go tear up somebody else’s country. Satanists!–You will be in his hell for eternity
You cannot make this shit up.
