During Friday’s announcement, Trump claimed New York will not receive the vaccine in time for next spring because Gov. Andrew Cuomo reportedly said he didn’t want it. He referenced the numerous comments that Cuomo said he did not trust a vaccine that was strictly delivered from the Trump administration. Despite the decision, the vaccine made by Pfizer is expected to arrive in all 49 states in April after it is approved by the FDA.
Cuomo’s Office said in a statement to TMZ, “Trump has failed with his pandemic response, lied to the Americans about how bad it was when he knew otherwise & was fired by voters for his incompetence. Governor Cuomo is fighting to ensure the communities hit hardest by COVID get the vaccine.”
