"As soon as the FDA approves it, we will have our panel approve it, seven other states will review it," Cuomo said. "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.'"
Cuomo said that the state panel's review of the FDA's protocol in approving a potential vaccine would be "simultaneous" with the
delivery of the vaccine, such that "there will be no delay -- as soon as they get us the drug, we are ready to distribute it."
But Cuomo expressed confidence that such a review would not reveal any problems with a potential vaccine.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday accused President Donald Trump of trying to use a potential coronavirus vaccine to intimidate him following Trump's assertion that Cuomo would hold up vaccine distribution in the state for political reasons.
