“#Quit the excuses \u2014 and get New Yorkers vaccinated<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Amid their bungling of the vaccine rollout, Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio are proving great at two other things: making excuses \u2014 and passing the buck.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a much more aggressive undertaking than anyone thought,\u201d Cuomo whined Monday. The nation \u201cwas not prepared.\u201d Huh? Cuomo\u2019s had nine months<\/em> to plan.<\/p>\n

People sometimes refuse to take the vaccine, he added \u2014 including 30 percent of hospital workers. Yet he himself cast doubts on the shot before the November election.<\/p>\n

Cuomo pointed the finger at the feds\u2019 too-slow vaccine program at nursing homes and at public officials, like de Blasio, whose picture he displayed with the words \u201cMUST MANAGE.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to move the vaccine faster,\u201d he huffed. He threatened new $100,000 fines and no more vaccines for hospitals that don\u2019t use their allocations by week\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

De Blasio, in turn, blames Cuomo\u2019s rules and demands more \u201cflexibility\u201d in who\u2019s eligible. Does Cuomo \u201cthink our health-care professionals are uninterested in vaccinating people?\u201d Hizzoner harrumphs. Please: He knows Cuomo isn\u2019t talking about rank-and-file health-care workers but about . . . him.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fact is, the mayor was likewise caught off guard by the sluggishness of public hospitals \u2014 which, by Monday, had given out a far smaller share (31 percent) of their vaccines than many private hospitals, like New York-Presbyterian (99 percent).<\/p>\n

And Cuomo\u2019s rules have been crazy. A complicated \u201cmatrix\u201d to determine who\u2019s eligible and when, enforced by whopping $1 million fines for vaccinating someone out of order, practically guaranteed that butt-covering bureaucrats would go slow. How perfectly Cuomo to then turn around and announce new fines for failing to give out all your vaccines, even if you have leftovers with no one \u201celigible\u201d to get them \u2014 and to vow to take away allotments from hospitals that don\u2019t move fast enough. <\/p>\n

The gov tries to micromanage with absurdly complex \u201cmatrices\u201d and other schemes. The mayor, meanwhile, never dares to light any fires under the city\u2019s workforce. Both have failed New York again and again.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the bottom line: As of Monday, less than half of the state\u2019s vaccines had gone out. Enough with the excuses, blame game<\/a> and bureaucracy. Get New Yorkers vaccinated now<\/em>.\n <\/div>\n
