What would you say if I told you that in Joe Biden’s America, terrorists will get the COVID-19 vaccine before Grandma does? You would not be the least bit shocked. But you may even be infuriated.

So when you hear this news of 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) getting a COVID-19 vaccine while still detained at Guantanamo Bay, you may want to resist the urge to break stuff. According to this, 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. Yes, terrorists get vaccines for a potentially lethal virus before you do. Terrorists need love, too.

It’s theatre of the absurd that our government will run vaccines with a limited shelf life down to Gitmo to give to terrorists who killed thousands of Americans. Then, Democrat governors in our Blue states will bitch and moan about the cupboards being bare.

The 40 detainees at the prison complex could start receiving the first of the two required doses of vaccine ‘on a voluntary basis’ as soon as Monday. Under Pentagon policy, because the Food and Drug Administration has given only emergency-use authorization to the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, the recipient’s consent is required to administer the shots.”-The New York Times

The reason terrorists get vaccines before your elderly grandparent who has been stuck in a nursing home and barred from the joy of seeing her great-grandkids? So war crimes hearings can resume. Excuse me? How man years have we gone since 9/11? We’re going on 20, if my memory serves me well. What in the hell do we plan on doing with these low-lifes?

You can’t get vaccinated as a war criminal without a prime rib, seasonable vegetables and a comfortable Tempur-Pedic mattress. Make sure they have everything they need on the taxpayer dime to ensure they’re safe and healthy to stand trial! Wouldn’t want them to be inconvenienced.

So, let me get this straight. The government has to expedite vaccinating terrorists for war crimes that should have been expedited years ago? KSM is still being tried for helping mastermind this?

And let’s not forget the attack on the Pentagon and Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. And now, the order to vaccinate Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the masterminds of ALL of this, comes down from the Pentagon? What bizarre reality are we living in?

The fact that the 9/11 community can’t get the vaccine and the terrorists can show how backward our government is. It’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard. It’s an insult to the people who ran into the towers and were killed and those who worked on the pile for months and are ill.”-John Feal, demolition supervisor at Ground Zero

Instead, Governor Cuomo is just as content to pack the elderly in like sardines in Assisted Living homes and let them die. New York City awaits more vaccine doses and the pace of New Yorkers getting vaccinated has slowed as they wait. Mass-vaccination sites have taken off for holidays. Some seniors in states like California won’t be vaccinated until June. Poor planning is attributed to some of this slow distribution in Washington State. States like Oregon claim they have “more interest than vaccines available“.

But terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammad get a COVID shot in the arm. Why? Trials must continue…

It’s either do something about it or they die there without charge.”-Wells Dixon, attorney for two GITMO prisoners

Because, Heaven forbid, these scumbags get locked in a cell in isolation left to die from COVID complications!

Whittle it down to the folks who are being prosecuted and either prosecute them or don’t, but don’t just hang on to them. At great expense, we walk around with this thing around our necks. It does no good. It has no role for national security. It’s just a big black stain that provides no benefit whatsoever.” –Joseph Margulies, a Cornell Law School professor who has represented one prisoner

Sure, Mr. Cornell Law School, whittle it down. Go look back at news feeds from September 11th, 20 years ago. Want to talk a big, black stain? You really want to go there? Why, pray tell, are these terrorists who have been known to spit, throw feces and piss on GTMO Marines, still living on our dime?

Did you read the story? It's only 40 prisoners, the rest are residents and troops stationed there. And we should protect our prisoners, no matter who they are.

Yeah, Masters of Fine Arts, (useless degree) genius Joyce. I have read the story. These “only” 40 people have survived 20 years longer than they should have. Something tells me that we would not be so lucky if we have done the same. These terrorists HATED us then and still hate us. They have torn apart families, dreams and killed thousands of innocent Americans. But we need to protect our prisoners, no matter who they are and what they’ve done? Our elderly citizens wait patiently. Our rescue workers and first responders wait patiently. Our veterans wait patiently. Our kids wait patiently. We wait patiently. What’s 40 vaccines for the terrorists? A drop in the bucket, right?

What’s one COVID-19 vaccine Khalid Sheikh Mohammad? I’d say put those vaccines to good use for GOOD people. Keep all the 9/11 terrorists locked in isolation and let them suffer with the Wuhan Lung Rot should they come down with it. Too harsh? I didn’t think so.
