Pentagon halts plan to give COVID vaccine to alleged 9/11 mastermind, Gitmo detainees
[NYPost] The Pentagon officially hit pause on a plan to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to prisoners held at the US military facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

"No Guantanamo detainees have been vaccinated. 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," Pentagon front man John Kirby said in a tweet Saturday.
It would seem simple enough to vaccinate the military personnel at the facility; that would meet the goal of keeping them safe...
The issue came to wide public attention after The Post reported that some of the most infamous Death Eaters in the world incarcerated there would begin receiving the lifesaving injections. Those potentially on the list included 9/11 criminal mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

There are currently still 40 people being held at the facility. Many prominent Democrats, including former President Obama, have vowed to close the detention center over the years.

The initial vaccine announcement from the Pentagon drew a sharp rebuke from New Yorkers, who bore the brunt of the 9/11 attacks which took 2,977 innocent lives.

#11 Sorry - The GD-men (Guantanamo Detainees) should be released and resettled here in America; Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles or any of the other 163 Sanctuary Cities across the USA (or whatever it is to be called after 21Jan2021).
They would be condemned to live like the rest of us, perpetual 4 layer masks, domestic covid medical passports, driving around with the invaders who now have their sanctioned alien drivers licenses. The lists unfold with every passing day (hide all the pens so jo can't sign anymore) commaLA "here is a crayon sign it anyway".

Goodnight, had fun here today and I'm one day closer to meeting God. Peace.
