The New York State Health Department intentionally lied to the public about nursing home deaths in order to help then-Governor Andrew Cuomo push a narrative that he was doing a great job in the fight against the virus.
Auditors from the state comptroller’s office found that state health officials purposely undercounted nursing home deaths by at least 4,100, according to a newly released report. This allowed Cuomo to falsely claim that he was doing a better job than other states in protecting the lives of seniors.
“While the Department’s duty is to act solely to promote public health, we determined that, rather than providing accurate and reliable information during a public health emergency, the Department instead conformed its presentation to the Executive’s narrative, often presenting data in a manner that misled the public,” the report says, with Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli calling the findings “extremely troubling.”
“Families have a right to know if their loved one’s COVID-19 death was counted, but many still don’t have answers from the state Department of Health,” DiNapoli said. “The public was misled by those at the highest level of state government through distortion and suppression of the facts when New Yorkers deserved the truth.”

Why is the headline “Shocking ” … we knew this all along ,& Hochel is the same crook !!!
The war that Antiochus haRasha waged on the Torah and us is infinitely worse.
What’s so shocking???
That’s unfortunately the world and people today, Kulo Sheker.
And people still don’t get what’s going on.
Wake up!
Nu, so what’s the big mouth, Letitia James, going to do about this? What about the corrupt NYS Assembly and Senate? Nothing. Democrats are always protected from within. Only Republicans are evil and must be thrown off the roof. So it turns out, the mask wearing lemechels hero, Howard Zucker, has innocent blood on his hands. Yet you dummies still listen to his every word as if it’s Toras Moshe misinai.
Vote Cuomo in for next Murderer in Chief
What a Bum, Him & his Bro!
Shocking?
We knew this all along!
NY didn’t lie. CUOMO lied.
The title reads Shocking: New York Lied. Who’s shocked? None of us….
In what way is this SHOCKING? Deplorable and unacceptable? Sure. Shocking would be to find out that it’s not true.
