Just a couple weeks after Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he would not automatically distribute a vaccine for the coronavirus if one is approved while President Donald Trump is in the White House, three more Democrat governors are putting politics ahead of public health in their states by also saying they don't trust the Trump administration in the matter.
Breitbart News reported on Newsom's decision to delay getting vaccines to California amid a global pandemic.
"A question I often get is: Are you going to take someone's word for it as it relates to vaccines?" Newsom said at a press conference earlier this month.
Newsom's 11-member vaccine review committee is meant to instill public confidence in what has become a highly politicized vaccine development process by scrutinizing the safety and efficacy of any federally approved treatment and recommending whether to administer it to Californians.
While a few vaccine candidates are close to approval, none is expected to be widely available until sometime in 2021.
The Chronicle said Republican West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice also wants to vet any vaccine approved.
Newsom claimed this week that his plan would not cause delays and called the quick distribution of a vaccine a "Political deadline," the Chronicle reported.
