WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says detainees at Guantanamo Bay are not receiving vaccinations against the swine flu vaccine.

Robert Gibbs on Tuesday said concern that terrorism suspects at the U.S. naval base in Cuba were receiving vaccines was misplaced. Gibbs says no vaccines are at the naval base and none are on the way

They were for it though before they were against it.

No swine flu vaccine for terrorists? Isn’t that worse than waterboarding?

[ASOC]

So the brave sailors and Marines on Cuba are not getting the swine flu vaccine?????

Or is it just the scumsuckers that don’t get the shots?

[bergmeid]

Whichever way the wind blows.

[Jet Jaguar]

reversal? Ping.

[TLI]

Right. Something tells me I should be suspicious of this...

[rep-always]

These people are a joke. I was listening to Rush and heard a robo call by Obama in Jersey. He is an embarrassment. He sounded like some run of the mill imbecile not the President of the United States.

[TribalPrincess2U]

And they don’t lie. /s

The White House says detainees at Guantanamo Bay are not receiving vaccinations against the swine flu vaccine.

What? No shots to prevent the nasal spray from having an effect?

Whoever wrote or uttered this little gem needs to return to the doc for the rest of their lobotomy, methinks.

[Freddd]

Of course they are not ‘getting’ them now.

They already got them.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

More torture allegations?

[DYngbld]

They can have mine.

Gibbs says no vaccines are at the naval base and none are on the way

Already consumed? Sitting in a warehouse in Florida but not "on the way" as in currently being transported? In a facility on Cuba that is not officially "at the naval base"?

There are all sorts of linguistic flips they can do.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Yes, a reversal.

[MissEdie]

They’re saying it’s not there because the vaccinations have probably already been given.

[joesjane]

I bet I can guess what happened. The tainers refused the shot and the WH is spinning it saying they aren’t going to get it.

[Cicero]

“We’re not flip flopping on this. How could we possibly flop when we never ever flipped? You’re a liar!”

—Robert Gibbs

[khnyny]

That’s a good guess.

lol. . .

There is 'disinformation' it seems; for every aspect of this vaccine/flu et al. Maybe this 'correction' depends on the meaning of 'which'. . .Flu vaccine.
