Assemblyman Richard Gottfried believes Dr. Howard Zucker, state health commissioner, was not being truthful with the public when he said information about nursing home patient deaths in hospitals didn’t exist.
The New York Times and Wall Street Journal late Thursday night confirmed Gottfried’s suspicions with their report that aides to the governor scrubbed the information from an allegedly non-partisan state Health Department report on the state’s response to COVID-19 in nursing homes.
The Times and Journal reported that the original drafts of the report had included the more than 9,200 deaths until Cuomo’s aides said it should be taken out. Late Thursday night, the governor’s office sent out a news release stating the information was taken out of the report because it hadn’t been properly vetted and confirmed.
