>>12776230 (pb Notable about plans to vaccinate prisoners in Guantanamo Bay)
This story did not have a link to its publication, but I grabbed a cap from the Notable.
I read the bit posted with the Notable and noticed something potentially important. The vaccine was called a "medicine". Vaccines are approved as "biologics" I believe, allowing them to be approved for use with vastly less testing than other pharmaceutical drugs. I have not yet seen the package inserts on the authorized "coronavirus" vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) to check this, but I have read that "coronavirus" vaccines using mRNA are called "gene therapies" and not vaccines.
Since the "vaccine" (which may be a "gene therapy") is experimental and only "emergency use authorized" it seems to me that vaccinating prisoners would ironically violate some sort of international agreements protecting foreign prisoners (of war?). Could that be the real reason this plan was halted? Even though the prisoners ostensibly could "refuse"?
Any American taking this shot is on their own. The manufacturers face no liability for harming you, and in most cases it has been offered voluntarily (I don't know about those in nursing homes, who may lack the ability for informed consent).
