H1N1 Vaccine for Gitmo Detainees?

November 3, 2009 - 12:17 AM | by: Svein Schwab

Chicago, IL - "All veterans in the United States, who are in the vulnerable population, should be vaccinated first before Al Qaeda terrorists," U.S. Congressman Mark Kirk (R-IL) said in response to Pentagon's decision to provide vaccination to detainees at Guantanamo Bay.   Kirk said that "we have the wrong set of priorities" by letting Gitmo detainees get vaccinated ahead of U.S. service veterans.

If the H1N1 Vaccine is Going there The Workers should get it IF THEY WANT IT. As For The Prisoners, WHY SHOULD THE TAX PAYER PAY FOR THERE VACCINE, Let Them Get it and Die, then the Tax payer doesn't have to pay for them to be in there anymore, furthermore we wont have to pay for there Death Sentence Either.

Like some of you, I didn't believe this when it was first brought to my attention. There is something extremely wrong, even subversive, with an Administration that gives critical vaccinations to alleged terrorists before veterans, our troops and it's own people.

I am so disgusted in the direction our Country has gone. It is not just the Obama administration ... it is all the administrations. These people that we the people voted in need to get back to the basics and understand the words...WE THE PEOPLE. Our country needs to come first...all of our country. Get all Legal-Americans the H1N1 Vaccine shot first...we deserve it.

No one to blame but ourselves. We the people have let this country get away from us. Only question now is...will we take it back?...Or go back to being selfish pleasure seekers and drones in front of our TV sets and tech toys?

what about our children who could be our future fighters don't they deserve the vaccine too 3 and under and elderly lets think about it my 6 yr old daughter got the H1N1 virus she could be the next president....how do we really say a certain age group deserves this over others? I am a military child. I watched my grandfather and my father fight for this country as well as other countries and would like to see my children do the same. Just don't understand why my 3 yr old son qualifies for the vaccine and my 87 yr old grandparent but my 6 yr old daughter had to wait becasue they were more important

You have to love this administration. Not one H1N1 vaccine in my area so my kids ended up with it, I'm just getting over it and now my husband will be missing work because of it. But let's make sure those terrorists don't get sick!

THIS IS APPALLING. HOW MUCH OF THIS CAN WE TAKE AS A COUNTRY? 9 MONTHS AND WE ARE ALREADY BEING SUBJECTED TO THIS KIND OF DISCRIMINATION? TERRORISTS INSTEAD OF OUR CHILDREN? IF THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THIS ADMINISTRATIONS DIRECTIVES, WHAT WILL BE THE END? LET'S SEND THIS BUNCH OF TRAITORS TO GITMO WITH THE TERRORISTS.

I'm almost in tears...the statements that suspected terrorists, alleged to have committed heinous crimes against American citizens, are going to receive immunizations before hard-working American citizens, is absolutely appalling. If this turns out to be true, I hope to God and every deity that those responsible burn in Hell for all eternity for their actions. The really sad part is that according to the article, Gitmo prisoners will be given the choice, while we still see rumors and scares of forced vaccinations upon our citizens. I personally don't want a hastily-tested (read: untested) vaccine. But if this is true, that terrorists get the vaccine before every American that wants one, there will be a storm never before seen on this continent. Mark my words. Also, to the FBI who may see this as a threat, it is. But good luck making it stand up in court. My address will be available upon request for your warrants...

My grandson is six years old and has been trying to get the Swine Inj for over a month. Last Wed. he came home with Swine Flu and couldn't even get the tamiflu or other med since there is a shortage of that too. Well this past Mon. the Dr called back to tell us that he also has Strep. By the way the afternoon he got back from the Drs. office the nurse called to say he could come and get his Swine Flu shot. A little too late. I am appaled that homeless,uninsured and prisoners are getting it before my grandson who has insurance but also could afford to pay. When my husband and I go for our Doctors appointments next month I will ask about my choices of poison when the health bill passes or do I have a choice about the poison or will it be decided for me?

Don't worry - they will find a way to blame it on President George W. Bush! They will never look forward on how to improve what we have today but look back and say it was do to the past Administration.

Let's remember that there is a shortage of the vaccine as well...10% of the "stockpile" was assured by Obama to go to help other countries...but he is going to make sure the terrorist suspects receive the vaccine. Get ready for government-run healthcare, people...rationing is right in front of your eyes. And demonstrated many times before in other countries, the average person loses more often than not. We all better step up to the plate and start actually looking at who we elect to ALL offices. We've fallen asleep at the wheel and we have only ourselves to blame for this situation about which we are complaining, among MANY others.

I can't believe that I as a high-risk pregnant woman has already been denied the vaccine because the clinic gave vaccines to anyone who showed up rather than waiting for high-risk individuals. Now terrorists get to have it before me and my children as well. Actually I probably shouldn't be surprised - typical government program.

This is an OUTRAGE! Our government has gone too far. Whomever is responsible for this decision is a traitor in eyes. Where is this going to stop. Better yet what can we do to stop it?
