EXCERPT:
DE BLASIO: “What we've heard about the governor and his team trying to link vaccine supply to political support -- that is the definition of corruption. It is disgusting, it is dangerous. There are lives on the line and it cannot be tolerated. It needs to be now a full investigation of that, on top of the investigation of the nursing home scandal, the investigation of the sexual harassment and molestation, there needs to be investigation of what happened with the Tappan Zee Bridge, but now on top of it there needs to be an investigation of why a senior official in the governor's office clearly tried to link vaccine supply to political support. And I'll tell you something he better not call me because I'll tell him what he can do with that. No, it's unacceptable and we are not going to stand for it. And if we see any effort to reduce the vaccine supply to New York City as political retribution we will bring it right out in the open.”
