NY Gov: I’ll Sue The White House If They Don’t Send The Vaccines I Refused To Takehttps://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/11/17/ny-gov-ill-sue-white-house-dont-send-vaccines-refused-take/We’ve apparently entered the silly season of post-election politics. Or perhaps the “stupid season†might be a more apt choice. Since no one is apparently allowed to be too happy over the news that Pfizer’s vaccine has proven highly effective in the test trials and may be widely available in the spring, we’ll still need a reason to fight about it. Entering the ring once again is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. As we discussed over the weekend, Cuomo got into a spat with President Trump over the distribution of the vaccine once it has final approval, saying that he wouldn’t accept any shipments to New York until his own panel of “medical experts†had approved it because the Bad Orange Man can’t be trusted.
Trump responded by saying that he was fine with that and he wouldn’t authorize any shipments to New York until the Governor approved the vaccine. Not content to let sleeping, flea-ridden dogs lie, Cuomo has now fired back, threatening to sue the White House if his vaccines aren’t sent promptly. And no… you really can’t make this stuff up.

...
“COVID doesn’t discriminate. Neither should we,†Cuomo said at Riverside Church in Morningside Heights.
The governor spent the day getting some amens after vowing the federal government will not push New Yorkers to the back of the line for shots of vaccine, CBS2’s Dave Carlin reported.
So if Cuomo wants to have NY's vaccines while simultaneously obstructing their distribution he obviously wants to force hundreds of thousands of doses to sit unused, unavailable to the rest of the country. Trump won't be that kind of stupid, and I don't think US courts will be either.
