Cuomo doubles down and digs a deeper hole

I’m a practicing family physician, and I’ve been mystified by COVID19 vaccine distribution in NY State. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to when limited allocations show up. Over the last two weeks I tried to get vaccine appointments at commercial pharmacies for my elderly father, and for my wife of 40 years. 

A funny thing about that….there were plenty of appointments available at State vaccine sites and at commercial pharmacies in Syracuse. Just a handful were available in Rochester. None were available anywhere in the Buffalo area. And that pattern persisted across two weeks. 

Yesterday the NY Times reported that Larry Schwartz, Cuomo’s close friend and previous budget director, is apparently in charge of vaccine allocation. Not coincidentally, Mr. Schwartz has been making phone calls to County Executives and asking them to support Mr. Cuomo in his time of crisis. And then pivoting to discuss COVID vaccine distribution. Naturally he’s insisting there’s no connection at all between the two subjects. 

Nice county you got there. Shame if anything happened to your vaccine allocation.
