Cuomo: "Battle Skepticism"

[George K]

Also Cuomo: "We should be skeptical"

What a tool.

If you remember that’s when Trump was openly discussing overruling the FDA on the EUA timeline for his own personal electoral interest.

So he was being responsible, not a tool.

December 9th Cuomo expresses lack of confidence. Jesus

UK approved on December 3

Oh wait that was when he wanted us all to wait for Biden to get in office to roll out the vaccine and get all the credit.

Can you say tool?

[jon-nyc]

No, that's the Washington Examiner being deceptive, avoiding the relevant context. It was two months ago.

Okay that is really fair.

That said Coumo did say that he was going to hold back on vaccine distribution in NY until Biden’s team could figure it out. Really revealing comment.

No he didn’t. That’s your clear mischaraterization of what he said.

Actually you’ve been playing a solo game of telephone with that one. Each time you bring it up it gets further and further from what he said.

Pre-election:

"Governor Andrew Cuomo is threatening to withhold a COVID-19 vaccine from New York until his team of doctors deem it safe because he doesn't trust the FDA or CDC, raising serious questions about how and when it will eventually become available and who will be the arbiter of it."

Thirty days later:

"This is the weapon that is going to win the war," Cuomo said, holding a vile up for reporters. "And that is the light at the end of the tunnel, right?"

Same FDA. Same CDC. Therefore, what changed?

I'll give y'all three guesses and the first two don't count.

@jolly

It's not rocket science and I already mentioned it above. THat's when Trump was threatening to overrule the FDA'S guidelines on EUA approval to further his own electoral interest.

In the event, the NY board "approved" it the day before the FDA issued the EUA.

So just how far off was my interpretation from November 9 after Pfizer’s huge game changing announcement?

@loki I saw the original interview. He thinks the current vaccine distribution plan is flawed and he wants it changed. He didn't go into why. My guess is we'll understand the flaws better in about 90 days.
