NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to make it a crime to sell or administer Covid-19 vaccines to people who are trying to skip the line

CNN  

New York CNN — New York Gov. But I do believe it should be criminal and I’m going to propose a law to that effect.” Cuomo’s announcement comes just over a week after a New York-based health care provider was accused of fraudulently obtaining Covid-19 vaccines, transferring them to facilities in other parts of the state and distributing them to people in violation of state guidelines. New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker said in a December 26 statement that ParCare Community Health Network may have acted “contrary to the state’s plan to administer it first to frontline healthcare workers, as well as nursing home residents and staffers.” He added that the state health department would assist state police in launching a criminal investigation into the alleged fraud. On average, hospitals across New York state have administered about 46% of the vaccines they have received so far, according to the governor’s presentation. An additional 234 first doses will be administered to residents this week, Cuomo said, meaning that 85% of New York nursing home residents will soon have received their first shot of the vaccine.
