3 May 2021: Cuomo Brings Up "Killing Your Grandmother"

Cuomo says to get vaxxed so you don’t kill Granny — amid his own nursing home scandal

Tone-deafness is a shared characteristic among Governor Cuomo's staff, supporters, and Governor Cuomo himself, as this example highlights:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo — whose administration infamously ordered the state’s nursing homes to accept coronavirus-stricken patients at the height of the pandemic last year — tried to guilt young people Monday into getting vaccinated by warning they could kill their grandparents if they don’t.

“There is an attitude that they’ll be fine, why should they take the vaccine?” the governor said at a press briefing, referring to young people.

“My argument is, yeah, maybe you’ll be fine, and by the way, you don’t know that either,’’ the governor said. “Maybe you will get a long-haul syndrome that we’re not really be sure what it is yet but a lingering consequence of COVID.

“Or maybe you’ll go home and kiss your grandmother and wind up killing your grandmother. So show some civic responsibility,’’ Cuomo said.

That's hypocrisy on a scale that's difficult to imagine! Speaking of which, here are is related background on Governor Cuomo's "grandmother-killing" statistics from the timeline:
