WASHINGTON — Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Monday called New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s threats to block the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine in the Empire State “absolutely unconscionable.”

In an interview with Fox News on Monday morning, Azar also said that it was Cuomo, not President Trump, who was in charge of distributing the vaccine in New York.

“It’s just absolutely unconscionable that somebody would want to delay a vaccine to the American people that’s safe and effective just for political partisan reasons,” Azar said after Cuomo earlier Monday called a Pfizer breakthrough on a vaccine “bad news.”

“Here’s the really interesting thing, Operation Warp Speed is working very closely with Gov Cuomo’s Health Commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker and his team, because guess who’s actually in charge of distributing within any state? The governor is,” Azar continued.

No, knowingly killing thousands of seniors by exposing them to COVID-infected people is unconscionable. The comments of Governor nipple ring are perfectly inline with this POS...

Yeah, Cuomo, why the hec would you want to use the tried and true methods for distributing other vaccines in well-known and logical places, when the government can do it the more “perfect” way that we know nothing about.

Andrew Cuomo speaks like a guilty, unindicted criminal. He is a disgusting man. Same feathers as Biden.

Responding to Cuomo’s latest remarks that Trump’s distribution plan was “flawed,” Azar suggested that Cuomo was out of touch with his own health experts.

“His team is doing a really good job of working with us and his team can set up a distribution system and a prioritization within their state,” Azar said.

When asked if other governors were trying to stop distribution under this president, the HHS secretary said Cuomo was alone.

“No, the other governors that we’re working with are excited and they want to be in charge of the distribution,” Azar said.

“Does that include Cuomo?” asked anchor Sandra Smith.

“Well, it includes his staff,” retorted Azar. “He ought to talk to them and learn what their plans are.”

Well, IF they had this insane POS arrested, tried and executed for mass murder and crimes against humanity for murdering all those innocent elderly like he did, they wouldn’t be having this new “controversy” now.

Why would anyone think Cuomo has concerns about the people in his state? He'll sacrifice any one of them for Federal Dollars he'll gain should Biden is successful in this coup. The BIG DOLLARS will flow to rescue NY state and the City....and Cuomo will sit back and chew on his steak dinner.while taxpayers pick up his mess.

During the second presidential debate, Biden sounded the alarm that 200,000 more Americans would die from COVID-19 by the end of the year. So, why are he and his fellow Democrats backtracking on a vaccine that may well prevent those deaths from happening?
