Threat to sue the Trump administration – VG

The threat comes after President Donald Trump held a press conference for the first time since election night. There he talked about the upcoming corona vaccine, which he thinks will be available to most people in April.

– Millions of doses are coming out the door. As early as April, vaccines will be available everywhere except New York for political reasons. This is because the governor does not trust vaccines. We won’t deliver them there until they get approved, which hurts me, Trump said.

According to CNN, the background for this statement is a disagreement over how vaccines should be distributed. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is said to have been very skeptical of the federal government’s plans to distribute the vaccines through private pharmacy chains.

– We cannot deliver it to a state that does not deliver it to its people immediately. “I know the people of New York, I know they want it,” the president said.

It’s the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and the biotech company BioNTech that released a report this week that it believes its vaccine candidate is more than 90 percent effective against the coronavirus.

All about the vaccine race: These vaccines are approved in at least one country.

The statements were not well received by the state attorney.

– Where there is a fully developed covid-19 vaccine, we are confident that the Biden-Harris administration will ensure that New York receives a sufficient number of vaccines so that the state can gain immunity. If the vaccine comes in the twilight of the Trump administration, and the president wants to play with the will of the people, we will sue and win, Letitia James said in a statement.

– This is nothing more than vengeful behavior by a “lame lout president” who wants revenge on those who have opposed his policy, James believes.

A president becomes the so-called “lame duck” from the time another president is elected until he takes office. The incumbent president has all the power associated with the presidency, but in principle he should “stay put in the boat” because another president has been elected.

Joe Biden has reportedly declared himself the winner of the US presidential election, but Donald Trump has not acknowledged defeat.

The incumbent president has filed a series of lawsuits against various states and has made several undocumented allegations of voter fraud. He left Friday’s press conference without answering questions.
