There are two critical questions behind Cuomo’s nursing home scandal: 1) Who got to him on corporate immunity? 2) Who told him to suppress life and death data that could’ve been used to repeal corporate immunity?

Why did Governor Cuomo give nursing homes immunity from Covid deaths? | Ron Kim

Was the corporate immunity linked to $1.5m in political contributions from lobbyists? Only a full investigation can help us find out

Those who don’t question Cuomo’s motives for - sending 9,000 COVID+ into nursing homes - altering health report to suppress 15,000 nursing home deaths - giving corporate immunity to his biggest donors but question the motives of women he sexually harassed are mental gymnasts.

10 years ago, Obama/Biden bailed out big banks instead of filing criminal charges against them. No one bailed out the people. Now, 80% of us are living paycheck to paycheck & under more household debt than ever. End neoliberalism now. Stop electing corporate politicians.

Only in America can you be part of a massive cover-up that killed thousands of older and disabled adults in nursing homes and still walk around like you are some hero.

TY @AOC for your continuous truth telling. My 5 yr looked at me puzzled one morning when we encountered a homeless person sleeping outside of a local bank: “Dad, there are so many apartments in Flushing. We can just put him in one of them, right?” 1/2

Translation: Healthcare experts quit as Governor Cuomo chose to protect corporate interests over people’s lives. We must take away his emergency powers and prosecute every decision this administration has made during this pandemic.

What gets lost about 3/25/20 Executive Order to send 9,000 COVID patients to nursing homes is that (according to the AG’s report) NHs cried to the governor that half of their staff were sick/home of COVID! And that’s when Gov Cuomo handed out his blanket legal immunity to them.

We must subpoena Cuomo and Crown Publishing to hand over the book deal contract to determine how Cuomo was motivated by personal profits as he ordered his top aides to deflate nursing home death numbers.

Now that Cuomo is no longer in power, there is no reason for DOH officials and former staff members to stay quiet. Speak up. Demand accountability. Make sure we never repeat the same mistakes.

29 people died at one of our nursing homes from #COVID19 and we still don't have answers. Families deserve to know what the hell is going on.

You enabled and empowered your brother to lie about deadly policies that killed thousands of older adults. That is not brotherly love and family loyalty. That is just one criminal helping another criminal.
