Two Republican House members are introducing a measure that will block a plan from the Biden administration, which was put on pause over the weekend, that would vaccinate terrorist suspects being held at Guantanamo Bay before the majority of Americans have received vaccinations for the coronavirus.
The measure from Reps. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) opposes “any plans by the United States Department of Defense to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to prisoners held at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay and detained during operations conducted during the Global War on Terrorism until all Americans have had the opportunity to be vaccinated,” according to the measure’s text, obtained by Fox News. It further states that “efforts by the United States Government to provide vaccinations for COVID-19 should prioritize United States citizens.”
