COVER-UP: Cuomo Investigates Himself, Finds He's Not at Fault for Deadly COVID-19 Nursing Home Policy

Downstate New York isn’t just the hot spot of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, but the entire world. Without a doubt, Governor Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home policy contributed significantly to this. On March 25, Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept patients regardless of their coronavirus status. Even then it was well-known that the elderly were more vulnerable to the virus, yet Cuomo defended the policy. Nursing homes “don’t have a right to object. That is the rule and that is the regulation and they have to comply with that,” Cuomo said in April. He finally rescinded the order on May 11, but the damage had been done. Cuomo enabled a massive outbreak in New York nursing homes and then tried to cover it up with bogus coronavirus stats.

But the cover-up is still happening. Cuomo’s administration “investigated” the policy and its impact, and predictably concluded that the decision to send patients who tested positive for the coronavirus into nursing homes was not a “significant factor” in the thousands of deaths that occurred in nursing home facilities statewide.

We call this DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE!!!

To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant’s conduct must be ‘so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting. In one case, People v Register, 60 NY2d 273, 469 NYS2d 599 (1983),while exploring the meaning of “depraved indifference recklessness” the Court of Appeals ruled that intoxication is not a defense or excuse to “depraved mind murder,” although it may be to intentional murder. Its analysis started with distinguishing reckless manslaughter from the “depraved indifference recklessness” necessary for murder: “to bring defendant’s conduct within the murder statute, the People were required to establish also that defendant’s act was imminently dangerous and presented a very high risk of death to others and that it was committed under circumstances which evidenced a wanton indifference to human life or a depravity of mind. . . . . The crime differs from intentional murder in that it results not from a specific, conscious intent to cause death, but from an indifference to or disregard of the risks attending defendant’s conduct.” 60 NY2d at 274.

Cuomo is a mass murderer. One thing the Feds could do that is useful is to arrest him and charge him with crimes against humanity and whatever else is relevant.

greasy Cuomo is clearly a killer... and yet the corrupt liberal media celebrate him everyday as a hero.

Apparently AG Barr doesn’t think these murders are a big deal. Must be a states rights issue.

Truthfully, I read the headline and thought it was the Babylon Bee.

When you see anything absurd and it mentions a Democrat, sadly, it is most often reality.

was reading some stuff about the danger of using Propofol on covid patients. did some checking:

12 May: CNN: There’s a shortage of sedative for patients on ventilators due to Covid-19 pandemic, FDA says
From CNN Health’s Elizabeth Cohen
“The virus that causes Covid-19 has led to an increased number of people with severe respiratory illness. As a result, there is a shortage of FDA-approved drugs such as propofol that are used for sedation of mechanically ventilated patients,” according to a statement on the FDA’s website posted Monday.

Propofol is perhaps best known as the sedative that pop star Michael Jackson’s doctor administered to him as a sleeping aid.
In that statement, the agency issued an emergency use authorization for a sedative called Fresenius Propoven 2% emulsion, noting that it contains double the concentration of propofol compared to propofol products approved in the United States.
The FDA statement notes that Propoven “has not undergone the same type of review as an FDA approved product” and that pregnant women and children under 16 should not use it.

12 May: American Hospital Association: FDA authorizes propofol emulsion for emergency use for COVID-19 ventilator sedation
The Food and Drug Administration May 8 authorized (LINK) the emergency use of Fresenius Propoven 2% Emulsion, which the agency says “may be effective to maintain sedation via continuous infusion in patients greater than 16 years old with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 who require mechanical ventilation in an ICU setting.” The EUA was necessary because Fresenius Propoven 2% Emulsion has important differences in its formulation compared to FDA-approved propofol drugs; FDA therefore says that providers should consult the fact sheet (LINK) for more information before the drug’s administration...

18 Jun: NCBI: The authors’ response: Propofol and sedation in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 Authors: Mitsuhito Soh, Toru Hifumi,⁎ Shutaro Isokawa, Masato Shimizu, Norio Otani, and Shinichi Ishimatsu Authors pointed out the risk of using propofol in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because it increased the activity and protein level of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which is known to play an important role in SARS-CoV-2 cell entry and transmission. Moreover, authors proposed that the use of propofol in patients with COVID-19 should be avoided, when possible, in favor of alternative sedative agents, including midazolam and dexmedetomidine... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7299850/

FDA: Fact Sheet for Patients And Parent/Caregivers
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of FRESENIUS PROPOVEN 2% (Propofol)
Emulsion during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic
There is currently a shortage of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved propofol
products that maintain sedation for patients who are on a machine that helps with breathing
(ventilator) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fresenius Propoven 2% Emulsion is not an
FDA-approved medicine in the United States. Fresenius Propoven 2% Emulsion contains
the same active ingredient, propofol, as Diprivan Injectable Emulsion and other
propofol products approved in the United States, but contains double the concentration...
What is an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)?
The United States FDA has made Fresenius Propoven 2% Emulsion available under an
emergency access mechanism called an EUA. The EUA is supported by a Secretary of
Health and Human Service (HHS) declaration that circumstances exist to justify the
emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic...
The EUA for Fresenius Propoven 2% Emulsion is in effect for the duration of the COVID-19
declaration justifying emergency use of these products, unless terminated or revoked (after
which the products may no longer be used)...
