After practically ignoring coronavirus for weeks, Donald Trump delivered remarks today to announce the roll-out of potential vaccines. But he couldn’t help but make the event political, letting a longtime grudge against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo overshadow the event. Here’s part of what he said:

“As soon as April the vaccine will be available to the entire general population, with the exception of places like New York State, where for political reasons the governor decided to say, and I don’t think it’s good politically, I think it’s very bad from a health standpoint, but he wants to take his time on the vaccine.”

NBC says, “He was referring to comments Cuomo made in September, where he said he planned to have a panel of experts review a vaccine because he was concerned that Trump was trying to rush one out ahead of the presidential election.”

Cuomo quickly responded to the remarks telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer:

“First of all, luckily he won’t be here, right? But, look. What the president says is just untrue… Here are the facts. We trust the drug companies. Pfizer is a great New York company, actually, Regeneron is a great New York company. What the American people don’t trust is President Trump… So we are in a situation now where half the people in the country are saying, I don’t know if I should trust the vaccine. A number of states, New York included, but a number of states set up a separate scientific panel that will review the FDA’s approval to give people confidence in the approval process… So as soon as the FDA approves this, we will have our panel approve it, seven other states will review it, and then I can say to the people of New York, I know you were dubious but we had a separate panel review it, it’s safe, take it because if we have a vaccine that people don’t trust, it doesn’t accomplish anything anywhere.”

Cuomo also spoke with MSNBC’s Katy Tur saying, “None of what he said is true… surprise, surprise. We are all excited about the possibility of a vaccine…” Watch more above.
