The 6,000 residents at the U.S. naval base in Guantánamo began receiving vaccines on Jan 8, and offering the vaccines to the detainees was the next step in the process.
A lack of vaccinations has reportedly been a hurdle for the Pentagon in continuing with legal cases against those charged with war crimes. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, seen as one of the masterminds behind the 9/11 attacks, will be provided the opportunity to take the vaccine.
The New York the Times reported:
It is not known how many people at Guantánamo have been infected with the Coronavirus. Early in the pandemic, the military reported two cases there, both believed to be sailors. The Defense Department then halted the disclosure of data about specific installations.
Lack of vaccinations has been a major obstacle to resuming war crimes hearings at the base’s Camp Justice Compound. It was not immediately known whether the defendants in the Sept. 11 case, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, would consent to be vaccinated.
For all Americans put behind the alleged terrorists and a rising number of elites who paid to jump the vaccination line, President Biden and Dr. Fauci have urged those waiting to wear masks, in some cases, even two or three at a time.
