That’s right, guess who’s first in line to get the jab?\u00a0The New York Post<\/em>\u00a0reported Friday<\/a>:<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a real kick in the shin:\u00a0chances are accused 9\/11 mastermind\u00a0Khalid Sheikh Mohammed<\/a>\u00a0will get the COVID vaccine before you do.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Accused terror masterminds like KSM and other detainees at Guantanamo Bay will begin receiving the coronavirus vaccine, the Pentagon confirmed Friday, even as the United States continues to experience\u00a0severe shortages<\/a> of the miracle jab.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Pentagon confirmed to the Post that prisoners at the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba could get the vaccine as early as in the coming week.<\/p>\n ”It will be administered on a voluntary basis and in accordance with the Department\u2019s priority distribution plan,” DoD\u00a0spokesman Michael Howard\u00a0said.<\/p>\n This means about forty terror suspects, including the man deemed the ‘mastermind’ behind the 9\/11 attacks which killed almost 3,000 Americans, will likely receive the vaccine before hundreds of millions of US citizens.<\/p>\n The NY Post report cites another understandably outraged\u00a0former law enforcement official<\/a>:<\/p>\n Brian Sullivan, a retired special security agent with the Federal Aviation Administration, said,\u00a0“I\u2019m incensed. It\u2019s totally outrageous. I\u2019m 75. I haven\u2019t gotten my COVID vaccine. They\u2019re going to give it Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?”<\/strong><\/p>\n Sullivan added it\u2019s a scandal that the terrorists haven\u2019t faced justice approaching the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.\u00a0“This news adds insult to injury. It\u2019s slap in the face to the 9\/11 victims\u2019 families,”\u00a0<\/strong>Sullivan said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “The order to administer the inoculations was signed Wednesday by Terry Adirim, the principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, an appointee of President Joe Biden who was sworn in on Inauguration Day,” it was\u00a0revealed<\/a>.<\/p>\n The other interesting angle to the story is that this action is presumably being taken to prevent a broader COVID-19 outbreak among federal and military administered prisons – and yet,\u00a0the shot will still be “voluntary” for the terror suspect inmates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Given there will likely come a time when common American citizens will be told something to the effect of “take the shot or else…consequences\/ repercussions” (for example in the form of job or travel restrictions – rhetoric which is already being entertained), it’s a bit ironic that the most dangerous terror suspects held at Gitmo will have “freedom” to choose to get vaccinated or not.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/gitmo.jpg?itok=U3QnaPBT\")
