SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California won’t allow any distribution of coronavirus vaccines in the nation’s most populous state until it is reviewed by the state’s own panel of experts, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.
Vaccinations for the pandemic “will move at the speed of trust,” said Newsom, a Democrat, and the state wants its own independent review no matter who wins the presidential election next month.
“Of course we won’t take anyone’s word for it,” Newsom said as he named 11 doctors and scientists to review any rollout of vaccines by the federal government or vaccine developers.
The pledge raises the possibility that California residents might not receive a vaccine as distribution begins in other states, though the governor said widespread vaccinations are unrealistic until sometime later in 2021.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Monday he was “not that confident” in the approval process for a possible coronavirus vaccine in place at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
"I don't believe the American people are that confident," Cuomo said Monday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” "I think it's going to be a very skeptical American public about taking the vaccine, and they should be.”
The governor, who has repeatedly criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, said he’s formed an independent Clinical Advisory Task Force to review every Covid-19 vaccine authorized by the federal government and counsel the state on their safety and effectiveness in fighting the virus.

What Data Caused Biden-Harris-Newsom-Cuomo to Suddenly Deem Covid-19 Vaccines as Safe?

Biden and Harris have been in top government positions, yet they still believed President Trump would be the one to approve the vaccines?
That level of ignorance makes both of them even less qualified for President and Vice-President.

Vaccines have historically taken several YEARS to develop.

This, makes them even more qualified for leadership positions. Rather than rushing in they waited and made sure that the Whitehouse wasn't overstepping its authority before they acted.
Trump can't officially authorise a vaccine but he can use back channels to put pressure on the people who can.
Biden and Harris made sure that the PUBLIC statements were all out before acting.
You're really Clutching at straws just to find Biden and Harris doing something, anything, wrong in a situation that they largely had no involvement.
Imagine if they'd endorsed the vax and then found out that someone had been bribed or threatened to get it out before it was ready?
