New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Jan. 18 asked Pfizer’s CEO if the state could buy COVID-19 vaccine doses directly from the U.S. drugmaker, saying that the Trump administration has failed to release enough doses to his state.
In a letter (pdf) to Pfizer’s CEO and Chairman Albert Bourla, Cuomo said that New York state would lose “a footrace” with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus unless it “dramatically increase[s] the number of doses getting to New Yorkers.”
