Cuomo’s Vaccine Czar Suddenly Quits

April 29, 2021 · 3:26 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Larry Schwartz, one of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s most trusted advisers, unexpectedly stepped down from his role as New York State’s vaccine czar, about five months after he was recruited by the governor to spearhead the state’s vaccine rollout,” the New York Times reports.

“His resignation was submitted on Wednesday, just as the State Legislature restored state provisions to the public officers law that would have affected Mr. Schwartz had he remained in the position.”
