Report: Cuomo Aides Hid Number of COVID Nursing Home Deaths for Months
They did this while Cuomo wrote and published his book, which celebrated his supposed awesome handling of the pandemic.
If this is not a scandal then nothing is a scandal. Seriously.
The New York Times dropped the ultimate bombshell on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo: His aides spent months overruling state health officials when it came to the true number of the COVID nursing home deaths.
New York’s attorney general said in January that the full data on the nursing home deaths “might have undercounted the true toll by as much as 50 percent”
In March, The Wall Street Journal revealed that Cuomo and his aides made changes to a report on the nursing home deaths. Officials said only 6,432 people died when the number was 10,000.
The New York Times report seems to expand on that article.
From The New York Times:
Mr. Cuomo’s most senior aides engaged in a sustained effort to prevent the state’s own health officials, including the commissioner, Howard Zucker, from releasing the true death toll to the public or sharing it with state lawmakers, these interviews and documents showed.
A scientific paper, which incorporated the data, was never published. An audit of the numbers by a top Cuomo aide was finished months before it became publicly known. Two letters, drafted by the Health Department and meant for state legislators, were never sent.
The actions coincided with the period in which Mr. Cuomo was pitching and then writing a book on the pandemic, with the assistance of his top aide, Melissa DeRosa, and others.
And they came as the governor’s approach to nursing homes was receiving intensifying scrutiny from critics and Republicans, including former President Donald J. Trump, whose administration made a public show of requesting nursing home death data from four states with Democratic governors, including New York.
You read that correctly. Cuomo and his cronies did this while he wrote and published his book.

Biden is not running our government – susan rice and anita dunn are.
That said, notice their pet governors are the oppressibe cuomo ad whitmer.
So, Joe Biden is our first female president? Sorry, Hillary.
Yes, a scandal but so were the multiple sexual harassment claims.
Cuomo is a Democrat in a very blue state. He’s going nowhere.
But Dan Bongino’s interview with President Trump today was censored

“Mr. Cuomo was pitching and then writing a book on the pandemic,”
So… where does one buy a copy of “Profiles in Carnage?”
First, they came for the babies…. Planned Parent/hood is a transhumane philosophy and practice to relieve social “burdens” h/t Obama.
Those government officials need to be prosecuted to encourage their unloading the goods on Cuomo and his aides.
Unfortunately, remember how Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton got passes on their misbehavior because they were defenders of abortion? Cuomo will suffer minimal effects. Might not get to be president nominee.
Her name was Fran. She died alone. F Cuomo.
You have to give it to the Democrats. Not only have they got all these so called institutions sown up BUT they are sown up so tight nothing EVER gets leaked out.
THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY IN NEW YORK
mailman – the system has been rigged.. After decades of Democrat rule, they have been able to lock in the unions and all the people who just want more free stuff (these are people who pay little or no taxes). This amounts to millions of votes in New York. That’s enough to win any election. Once they arrange to give the vote to illegals – Democrats will forever win every election in New York. Officially a ONE PARTY STATE. But it may be a pyrrhic victory because all the tax payers are moving out. They will rule over a garbage dump. A tin pot dictatorship where the least qualified rise to the top.
Whatever. Gov. Andy “Killer” Cuomo will just throw a few of his subordinates under the bus and blame them for the falsified numbers and that will be the end of it as he walks scot free of any responsibility. Don’t know why anyone thinks anything else is going to happen.
Even a mildly smart democrat President would have quietly removed Cuomo from pandemic leadership. Which proves there are no smart democrats in the Presidency or behind the curtain.
Why in the world would a “mildly smart democrat president” (is there such a creature?) want Cuomo removed. He’s presently doing the job he’s supposed to be doing. Which is distracting people from the massive, ill-conceived
welfare billtax billinfrastructure bill that they are trying to push through congress. So as long as democrats need Cuomo as a distraction he’s going to be at the forefront of controversy. Guaranteed.No smart democrats behind the cretin, either
