Donald Trump (74) announced good news on Friday in the rose garden of the White House: the US government wants to give about 20 million people the corona vaccine starting in December. But according to the President of the United States, New York should not have a chance!
There is a dispute between Trump and the Democratic governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo (62). He has been critical of the vaccine process in the past and warned that Trump would use it for political purposes. Therefore, the corona vaccine will not initially be delivered to New York state, Trump said Friday.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo does not trust the Washington government and wants to examine the drug separately. “So we won’t send it to New York until we have permission,” Trump said.
Cuomo responds immediately
The current president of the United States indirectly criticized Cuomo for his announcement a few weeks ago that his own experts would verify the safety of an approved vaccine.
Cuomo spoke to CNN shortly after, assuring that a vaccine would not be approved in New York later than in the rest of the country: “There will be no delay.”
Trump administration threatens to sue from New York
According to Cuomo’s account, the drug should be delivered in New York as in other states. The investigation by the New York panel of experts is taking place at the same time. New York Attorney General Letitia James threatened to sue the federal government if the state does not receive vaccination doses for now.
More recently, the companies Biontech and Pfizer announced that their vaccine offered more than 90 percent protection against Covid-19 disease. They want to provide 50 million doses of vaccines this year and about 1.3 billion in 2021, worldwide. The vaccine must be given twice to be effective. (SDA / nim)
