Cuomo calls for equitable vaccine process to combat 'injustice done' during Covid-19

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo hit back at President Trump's threat to withhold the coronavirus vaccine from New York State, saying he would join lawsuits against the federal government if the vaccine is not distributed fairly. From the pulpit of the Riverside Church on Sunday, where Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War and Nelson Mandela preached racial tolerance, Cuomo said that it was wrong to play games with a vaccine. 'There can be no more fundamental right in this moment than access to the vaccine,' he said, describing the pandemic as a 'low tide' moment in America, when the tide went out and the bare facts were exposed. He said that, under the federal government's plan to distribute the vaccine via big name pharmacies and clinics, marginalized ethnic minority communities would lose out.
