Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday slammed Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to fine hospitals as a means of speeding up the state’s highly criticized slow vaccine rollout.
“That’s just arrogance,” de Blasio said in an interview with NY1’s Errol Louis of Cuomo’s claims that the monetary penalties could speed up the process.
Hizzoner went on to defend the city’s healthcare workers and told Cuomo to lay off the threats.
“Does he think that our healthcare professionals are uninterested in vaccinating people? How about trusting the people who have been our heroes?” de Blasio said.
“Help them, support them, don’t fine them, don’t threaten them, respect them and help them.”
Cuomo earlier Monday deflected blame on the state’s sluggish inoculation effort — which has seen large quantities of the vaccine supply unused — to local leaders, including de Blasio.
The governor also specifically argued the Big Apple’s city-run Health and Hospitals system have not carried their weight.
De Blasio said on Monday night that instead of issuing threats, the state should implement new rules to foster faster vaccine delivery.
“We need rules that maximize the pace, that help us speed up and reach the people who are available, who are a priority and who are ready, willing and able, it’s common sense,” the mayor said.
Gov. Cuomo blames de Blasio, city hospitals for slow COVID-19 vaccine rollout “So, the state can help us here. Stop threatening people.”
The state Department of Health on Sunday sent a letter establishing a use-it-or-lose-it position, Cuomo said, requiring providers to use the supplies they’ve thus far been allocated by week’s end or face fines of up to $100,000.

Mister Pot, meet Mister Kettle.
I’d like to see these two goobers wrestle and start fighting. They really dislike each other.
DeBlasio would send his Pygmy Wife, the one who keeps mishandling public funding for non profits.
Cuomo may send the frail but fraudulently fussy Al Sharpton.
They are going after each other, like old time “wrestling “
Governor Cuomo blames...This neanderthal blames more shit on somebody or something else than Shitlery.
Sharpton. What a piece of work. Still owes that DA money I believe.
“They really dislike each other.”
No. They’re buds as they share their common goal of hatred for Trump. Where have you been the past 4 years? 2 communist leftard assholes have no reason to dislike each other.
Battle of the blowhards
These two idiots are obsessed to see who is better at destroying New York. The poor folks out in the country can’t believe what’s going on in Albany and New York. As usual the conservatives get screwed due to the pathetic policies made by city Moonbats.
The true sign of the Apocolypse.....
DeBlasio had a single good point...
Bayonnets at your back...
Dibs on the popcorn concession now that the libs are starting to go after each other
A heat-sensitive, quick-expiration vaccine.
But the Mayor is failing to distribute.
They are both learning how unpopular it is.
NYC voted for both dese nuts so why not hold them down and give em all 2 doses...like Salk in Africa l o f l
Perfect.
Paging every idiot who supports single payer...
This is what happens when idiots in NY elect dumbasses.
I thought of the same thing, but if anyone hears you, they’ll say you’re racist, cause the pot was black that you mentioned.
The fix is easy, blame the lack of a “Federal Government” plan, as usual.
