Tensions are rising once more between President Donald Trump and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Recently, Trump targeted Cuomo during a press conference, suggesting that New York might not receive a COVID-19 vaccine, prompting a strong response from the governor.
While discussing his administration’s Operation Warp Speed, Trump stated that the vaccine would be available to the general public by April, except for New York. He alleged that Cuomo’s decision to delay the vaccine rollout was politically motivated and detrimental to public health. Trump’s remarks were a response to Cuomo’s previous statements about New York’s intention to thoroughly review federally approved vaccines.
The president claimed that Cuomo “doesn’t trust the source of the vaccines” and added that the state must inform the federal government when it is ready to distribute the vaccine.
Cuomo was quick to rebut Trump’s claims, stating during an MSNBC interview that the president’s assertions were inaccurate. “None of what the president said is true, surprise, surprise,” Cuomo remarked. He emphasized that the American public has more faith in pharmaceutical companies than in Trump. In a conversation with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Cuomo reassured that there would be no delays in New Yorkers receiving the vaccine, asserting, “What Americans don’t trust is President Trump.”
Cuomo further criticized Trump for his bullying tactics toward governors, declaring that New Yorkers would not be intimidated. A Pew Research poll indicated that public opinion on the COVID-19 vaccine was nearly evenly divided, with many expressing concerns about its safety and the speed of approval.
New York Attorney General Letitia James also condemned Trump’s remarks, labeling them as vindictive behavior from a “lame-duck president.” She expressed confidence that a future Biden-Harris administration would ensure New York receives the necessary vaccine doses.
