Embattled state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker will step down from his position as soon as a replacement can be found, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday.

Zucker was a key figure in the administration of disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo, where critics charged he played a central role in its efforts to minimize and disguise the pandemic’s death toll across the state and in its nursing homes.

“He understands that, in this time, I’ve wanted to take the first 45 days to assemble a new team going forward,” Hochul said, announcing Zucker’s departure. “That process is ongoing, and he understands and he respects that

These people purposely forced infected young people into uninfected nursing homes to kill as many people as possible.

They should be tortured, then their bodies hung from trees.

Zucker is a ghoul, too weak to stand up to Cuomo. He should lose his medical license.

Here's what I believe about them playing with the numbers of Senior Covid deaths.

When Chris Cuomo had Covid, Dr. Fauci called him every day. Chris was sick for over a month. The Senior Covid death numbers were being manipulated at the same time.

I believe Fauci was using Chris as a back door and telling him how the Gov can manipulate the numbers...and to pass it on.

Not to minimize the many losses, but Albany was likely inflating the death toll, not massaging it down.
