The Department of Defense is pausing a plan to offer COVID-19 vaccines to detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, made the announcement in a tweet Saturday, saying that no detainees at the prison have been vaccinated.

"We're pausing the plan to move forward, as we review force protection protocols," he said. "We remain committed to our obligations to keep our troops safe."

The plan to offer vaccines to prisoners at Guantanamo was reported by The New York Times on Thursday.

The GOP wants you to cut out their hearts and serve them for lunch at the next GOP fund raiser.

I'm all out of patience with these innumerate and scientifically illiterate fuckwits.

5. This was getting big coverage on the Right

Of course they were going to freak out about it.

They're probably freaking out that regular prisoners are getting it.
