25 September 2021: COVID Victim's Son Calls Howard Zucker an "Enabler", "Complicit"

Son of COVID Victim: Zucker is complicit

Dan Mathias' mother died in an upstate New York nursing home after having been exposed to COVID-19 during the period the Cuomo administration's deadly 25 March 2020 directive was in effect. He holds Howard Zucker, New York's Health Commissioner, accountable for his role in developing and implementing that policy for contributing to her death:

Doris Mathias was 102 years young when she passed away of COVID-19 in a Buffalo-area nursing home in May 2020.

Her son, Dan Mathias of Clifton Park, says his mother would have wanted him to speak out about the circumstances of her death, including what he sees as a massive cover-up after the fact.

"She was a very honest person, and I'm sure she'd want me to be honest about what's going on and push to get to the bottom of something like this," he said.

Toward that end, Mathias, early on, urged local state lawmakers to investigate what he saw as a major inside manipulation of the nursing home numbers, accusing the then-Gov. Cuomo of obscuring health data for political gain, and suggesting that Dr. Howard Zucker, the New York State health commissioner, was complicit.

"It was his responsibility to provide actual data about what was going on, so the public had an understanding, and he didn't do that," Mathias stated....

"He was an enabler of what took place. He was complicit," Mathias continued. "For what ever reason, for what ever political or personal reason. To give someone an Emmy or to write a management book that you could sell, he was complicit in not being upfront and honest about the data."

Mathias indicates he has low confidence that state lawmakers will pursue serious investigations of Zucker's role in developing and implementing the Cuomo administration's deadly 25 March 2020 directive forcing nursing homes to blindly admit COVID patients being dumped out of New York hospitals to free up their bed space or its subsequent cover-up of the full extent of COVID deaths among nursing home residents that resulted.
