TRANSCRIPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: “Let’s talk about that now with New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo. Governor Cuomo, thanks for coming back again this morning. We were talking yesterday about the importance of vaccine distribution in the next two months. What do you make of this news?”

CUOMO: “Well, it’s good news/bad news. The good news is the Pfizer tests look good and we’ll have a vaccine shortly. The bad news is that it’s about two months before Joe Biden takes over and that means this administration is going to be implementing a vaccine plan. The vaccine plan is very important and it’s probably the most ambitious undertaking since Covid began. Just to put it in focus, we did 10 million Covid tests in this nation over seven months scrambling doing everything we can. We now have to do 330 million vaccinations, maybe twice, my state does more testing than any state in the United States. We did 12 million tests. We have to do 20 million vaccines. And the Trump Administration is rolling out the vaccination plan and I believe it’s flawed. I believe it learns nothing from the past. They’re basically going to have the private providers do it and that’s going to leave out all sorts of communities that were left out the first time when Covid ravaged them.”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “So what needs to be done that the Trump Administration won’t do that President-Elect Biden could do?”

CUOMO: “Yeah, the Biden administration, when you deny — when you deny a problem the way Trump did, you can never solve it and that’s true in life. The Trump Administration denied Covid. So they were never ready for it. There was no mobilization of the government. And they’re still doing the same thing. They’re going to take this vaccine and they’re going to go through the private mechanism. Through hospitals, through drug market chains, et cetera. That’s going to be slow and that’s going to bypass the communities that we call health care deserts. If you don’t have a rite aid or a CVS then you’re in trouble and that’s what happened the first time with Covid. Why do we have such a disparity in the infection rate and mortality rate in Covid? Because some communities don’t have the same access to health care. I’m sure the Biden administration is going to address that. I think his first step saying let’s focus on the science, let’s depoliticize testing data, listen to the scientists is the exact opposite of Trump but you have two months and we can’t let this vaccination plan go forward the way that Trump and his administration is designing it because Biden can’t undo it two months later. We’ll be in the midst of it and I’m going — I’ve been talking to governors across the nation about that. How can we shape the Trump Administration vaccine plan to fix it or stop it before it does damage.”

Prince Andrew is a Dictator wannabe. He is also completely complicit in the murder of thousands of elderly New Yorkers. He can go do the physically improbable.

When there is a proven vaccine, the public pressure to distribute it will be too much for Cuomo to refuse.

Cuomo is the best friend the NY Republican party has seen in many decades. He is in the process of doing the hitherto impossible - bringing the NY GOP back from the dead.

Little gavin newsom is planning the same thing in California. Any vaccine approved by the US government will have to go through a second round of approval by little gavin's panel of "experts" before Californians are allowed by the emporer to receive it.

Let's see how that plan works out for the boy. Moreso than anyplace else in the country, California "men" and women are still so frightened, so panicked by the Communist Chinese Cooties they won't tolerate any additional delay, even by Li'l G.

Do this exactly. Then while the rest of the country goes about its business COVID- free, Cuomo’s NYC can stew in it because Cuomo hates Trump.

So let me get this straight. There is a possible vaccine that can save thousands of lives, and Cuomo doesn’t want the president to distribute it......

Sounds like Cuomo hasn’t murdered enough people yet

Yes, let the government do the mobilization, because they did such a good job counting our ballots...

You figure the Butcher of New York (Cuomo) would have been satisfied with the 10s of thousand he killed by stuffing Covid patients into nursing homes with the most high risk people in the population.

But I guess not...looks like he is trying to run up the body count score.

Cuomo not supporting ‘Trump’s’ vaccine to hurt NY’s own people, show’s his immaturity. That being said, I will not necessarily take it unless it is completely proven to be SAFE.

His issue is with the efficiency and widespreadness of the distribution. He doesn’t want it done via private companies or the markets, he wants GOVERNMENT to do the distribution to everyone.

Translation: This vaccine must be mandatory and the government should be the ones to force it on us.

What in the blue blazes is that man talking about? Are all NY voters brain dead? How could they put someone this stupid in the governor’s mansion? It’s all obfuscation...is he saying the vaccine that Trump will have distributed is NOT A GOOD VACCINE? Is it impossible for that idiot to speak plain English? I guess it is.

“”you have two months and we can’t let this vaccination plan go forward the way that Trump and his administration is designing it because Biden can’t undo it two months later. We’ll be in the midst of it and I’m going — I’ve been talking to governors across the nation about that. How can we shape the Trump Administration vaccine plan to fix it or stop it before it does damage.””

“we did 10 million Covid tests in this nation over seven months scrambling doing everything we can”

And
“my state does more testing than any state in the United States. We did 12 million tests”

All in the same interview. Real brainiac.

Cuomo will switch the good vaccine with the Bill Gates poisonous chip depopulation vaccine.
