Gov Cuomo has already shown us how he prioritizes the elderly earlier this year when he put the infected in with the elderly in nursing homes, sealing the fate of many. But I guess that was just the beginning. Cuomo has the opportunity to give the elderly precedence over drug addicts when it comes to vaccine access but instead has decided to get the vaccine to drug addicts first. The elderly are just have the worst mortality rate when it comes to COVID…
“Recovering addicts in residential rehab facilities will be among those vaccinated against the coronavirus this week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo obliquely revealed Monday.
During a virtual news conference in Albany, Cuomo said the state was expecting to receive a combined 259,000 doses of Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.
In addition to urgent care center employees and “individuals who are administering the COVID-19 vaccines, for obvious reasons,” Cuomo said that shots would be given to residents of “OASAS” — the state Office of Addiction Services and Supports.”
“These are congregate facilities. Congregate facilities are problematic. That’s where you have a lot of people in concentration,” Cuomo said.
“Nursing homes are obviously the most problematic because they’re congregate plus older, vulnerable people. OASAS facilities, what we call the O facilities, they’re congregate — not necessarily older — but congregate facilities.”
Geez, the elderly really can’t catch a break in New York. Cuomo even admitted that nursing homes should get the vaccines but has still decided drug addicts need it more. It’s starting to look like he may have purposely put infected in those nursing homes.
