New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo turned out not to be the hero the media hailed early in the coronavirus pandemic.
"New York is mandating social equity and fair distribution," Mr. Cuomo declared Jan. 11.
Like most states in the Northeast, New York experienced an uptick in cases this spring as lockdowns were eased and people started socializing more.
An antibody survey of New York City public workers last summer found that police, firefighters, teachers and child care workers were no more likely to have been infected than other city residents.
When cases climbed this spring, a large number of seniors in New York still weren't protected.
As a result, hospitalizations and deaths in New York-especially in New York City, where seniors had to vie for vaccines with more "Essential workers"-dropped much more slowly than in other states like California, Connecticut and Florida, all of which prioritized vaccinating seniors.
In February, senior deaths were 75% higher in New York than Connecticut; in March, deaths in New York were nearly four times as high.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
