Throw it on the pile of problems, I guess, but this doesn’t come close to the other allegations. It wasn’t even early vaccine access, it was testing access. ---

Yeah, that’s like the old trope of saying someone is charged with “murder, rape, grand theft, and jaywalking”. ---

Was about to post this. Thr NY AG report looks like a legit bombshell and goes further than previous speculation about how pervasive the hostile environment Cuomo created was. If Cuomo wasn’t able to squash this, I think this is the end of the road for him. ---
