The Pentagon on Saturday announced that it was "pausing" a plan to give COVID-19 vaccinations at Guantanamo Bay -- after accusations from Republicans and 9/11 survivors that it was prioritizing terror suspects over Americans.
"No Guantanamo detainees have been vaccinated," Defense Department Press Secretary John Kirby tweeted. "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."
Two defense officials had confirmed to Fox News the plan to offer COVID-19 vaccinations to the 40 detainees at the detention site near Cuba. A lack of vaccinations had reportedly made it difficult for federal prosecutors to move forward with war crimes hearings at the base.
The order was signed on Jan. 27 by Terry Adirim, the principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for health affairs who was sworn in as a Biden appointee on Inauguration Day, a Pentagon spokesman told the New York Post.

.......backtracking is stupid, reinforces the facts......
........Dems will be blasted on this til kingdom come.....
The only bad news is the resulting lawsuits that will yield multi $$$Million payouts to lawyers and terrorists.
They will give it to them anyway, this is just a smokescreen.
20 years later and they’re still holding “hearings”? Sheesh.
China Joe Xiden throws Pentagon under the bus.
Joint Chiefs of Staff now Titled "Joint Chiefs of Fall Guys"
they’ve been nowhere to GET it ... so they don’t need it
GOOD. Give them a box of tissues for their COVID.
Better yet, do what they do to Covid contaminated mink.
bidet appointee “Terry Adirim” needs to be strung up by his balls - if he has any.
‘Pausing’.......
About 50 years of political experience, and the Hairsniffer-in-Chief does this. So many “mistakes” in the first days.
Yes, that’s one of the craziest parts of this.
KSM’s trial has been pushed back so many times it’s absurd. Most recent plan was a start date of mid-January but obviously that didn’t happen.

By whom? The msm? I think not.
They don’t care.
They don’t have to now.
“20 years later and they’re still holding “hearings”? Sheesh.”
Right, these people should have been tried, convicted, executed, wrapped in pig skin and buried years ago.
I thought military tribunals were fast and efficient. What type of justice system are they using down there in Gitmo? Is it the terrorist loving lawyers stalling with motion after motion or maybe outside influence by the UN? What?
Liberal ideas: silencing conservatives, protecting actual terrorists.
“”Defense Department Press Secretary John Kirby””
He’s back???? Good grief!
