‘A coordinated criminal conspiracy’: NY Gov. Cuomo’s aides pushed health officials to rewrite review into nursing homes to cover-up true death toll, new reports claim
Cuomo’s aides altered a July report from state health officials, the WSJ reported
They wanted changes in recording COVID deaths of nursing home residents
Nursing home residents who died in hospital were recorded as hospital deaths
The maneuver reduced the overall figure for deaths inside nursing homes
Cuomo has been under intense pressure for his handling of the situation
Cuomo ordered nursing homes readmit recuperating COVID patients
Critics claim that the policy spread the virus and caused unnecessary deaths
Melissa DeRosa, his top aide, admitted that the team ‘froze’ when asked for data
She said in August they did not know if the data would be used against them
…The bombshell report comes hours after one of three women accusing Cuomo of sexual assault spoke out on television for the first time, adding to his horrendous week.
Mike Lawler, a Republican assemblyman representing Rockland County, was among those calling on Thursday night for Cuomo to resign.
‘It’s very clear the Cuomo admin understood their March 25th order had contributed to the death toll & they wanted to cover it up to avoid political fallout, plain and simple,’ he tweeted.
‘They had the data & they hid it. This was a coordinated criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice.’
Tim Pool points out that this is a grave scandal for Cuomo, but it’s equally a grave scandal for the corporate media, which covered this up and praised Cuomo even while he was killing grandparents just to promote a possible replacement for Biden and to create a narrative of Competent Cuomo Vs Incompetent Trump.
They gave him an Emmy.
He ordered the data be changed just as he was writing a book praising his handling of covid:
Howard Zucker, the state health commissioner, agreed that the data showing deaths among residents, who died outside of their nursing homes, should not be included in the July report, the Journal said.
The July intervention came just as Cuomo was starting to write a book on his pandemic achievements, entitled American Leadership.
The Wall Street Journal also reports that Cuomo was warned by national nursing home organizations that it would kill people if he ordered covid-infected people to be re-seeded into the nursing homes.
Nursing home operators, learning of the policy only after it was issued, immediately objected, saying it would introduce the virus into their facilities. A national group representing nursing home health providers said at the time that the March 25th directive was “not in the least consistent with patient safety principles.”
Again, he had the Javitz center and the USS Mercy hospital ship if he wanted to keep these patients out of his donors’ hospitals.
NO worries. John Roberts will protect him if the sleazy FBI forgets and does its job. Highly unlikely FBI will forget!
I guess he’s not part of the New World Order?
@Nathan Blue:
the commicrats will run him for pres in 2024.
At the same time, these very liars were blaming Trump for EVERY DEATH. They were killing people and covering it up as they tried to make Trump the villain and pretend they thought killing people was bad.
THAT’S what the Emmy was for.
This didn’t age well.
@MOS#8541: Maybe, but I’ve always wondered who was going to sacrificed after the Democrat Coup…er…election, whatever.
As we continue on in the Biden Occupation, there will be more “helpers” being killed off, so to speak, and Cuomo is one.
Next up?
Some phantom, or real, scandal comes out about CHRIS Cuomo so they can fire him.
If Andrew is found guilty, CNN can’t keep Chris. They’ll destroy him too.
@Nathan Blue:
agree with you fully, frodo will be sacrificed by the media gods, and no one will hire him.
