Here’s a real cinnamon kick: it’s likely to be accused that 9/11 brain Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will get the COVID vaccine before doing so.
The terrorist accused of brains like KSM and others detained in Guantanamo Bay will begin receiving the coronavirus vaccine, the Pentagon confirmed Friday, even as the United States continues to experience a severe shortage of the miracle blow.
A Defense Department spokesman confirmed that officials had signed an order by which vaccines against COVID-19 “are offered to all detainees and prisoners.”
The shots could be fired as early as next week.
“It will be administered voluntarily and in accordance with the Department’s priority distribution plan,” spokesman Michael Howard told The Post.
Forty detainees remain in the U.S. military prison in Cuba, including the man accused of plotting the worst attack on American soil, which caused 2,977 innocent lives on September 11, 2001 and has since been has been linked to thousands of deaths.
The order was signed Jan. 27 by Terry Adirim, the deputy chief deputy secretary of defense for health affairs, who was named Biden on the day of the inauguration, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed.
The move immediately sparked outrage from New Yorkers who lived and helped reclaim New York from its darkest day.
“It simply came to our notice then. The ridiculousness of what we get from our government. They will run the vaccine to life in Guantanamo Bay before every U.S. resident gets what is the theater of the absurd, ”said Tom Von Essen, who was the city’s fire commissioner during the 11th. of September and lost 343 firefighters on 9/11.
“He’s making new ones,” he said of KSM receiving the vaccine before most Americans can.
John Feal, supervisor of the demolition of the Ground Zero battery after the attacks, who has several 11/11-related illnesses and has not yet received the vaccine, was stunned by the news.
“The fact that the 9/11 community can’t get the vaccine and the terrorists can prove our government’s backwardness,” he told The Post. “It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. It is an insult to the people who ran to the towers and died and who worked for many months in the pile and are sick.
Feal, which runs the Feal Good Foundation, an advocacy group for people who responded on Sept. 11, was 38 at the time and was 58-59 years old, missing the limit to get the vaccine in Nova. York. who helped push Congress to permanently expand the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
Brian Sullivan, a retired special security officer from the Federal Aviation Administration, said: “I am outraged. It is totally outrageous. I am 75 years old. I do not have the vaccine against COVID. Li donaran Khalid Sheikh Mohammed? “
Sullivan added that it is a scandal that terrorists have not faced justice as the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaches. “This news adds insult to injury. It’s a slap in the face to the families of 9/11 victims, “said Sullivan.
“This year will be the twentieth anniversary and the terrorists are still at Guantánamo. And now we will give them the COVID vaccine. It’s crazy “.
Two more men, accused of being complicit in the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, would also be in line to get the vaccines under the command of the Department of Defense.
The Pentagon’s decision comes when states like New York complain that their closets are bare, forcing them to cancel a mass inoculation program, and the Biden administration warns that the shortage of punctures will last until 2021.
On Tuesday, The Post revealed that thousands of New York City teachers have had their appointments canceled with the COVID-19 vaccine due to declining supply and snafus programming.
“It is inexcusable and anti-American for President Biden to choose to prioritize terrorists convicted of Gitmo over vulnerable American elders or veterans,” said Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
Retired FDNY Lieutenant Michael O’Connell worked on search and rescue when the towers fell. He was left with sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease.
“This is a real kick in the balls. It is very annoying. It’s absolutely disgusting, ”he said of Gitmo’s vaccination order.
“These terrorists did damage, but the patriots are the ones who have to wait to get vaccinated. We responded ten seconds after the first plane crashed into the building. Here we are a year later [since the COVID-19 outbreak] and politicians can’t do well with the coronavirus vaccine. “
