I wonder if rhetoric from people like Cuomo saying that they won't trust an fda approved vaccine without their additional review contributes to that.

That was centuries ago in covid time. I doubt cuomo is saying anything like that now. And Fauci and all other relevant experts have agreed with the fda approval.

Whether September was “centuries ago in COVID time” or not, the public remembers this sort of thing, especially when it comes to perceived personal danger.

It was an irresponsible position for Gov. Cuomo to take, even if he only took it briefly.

Was it? Trump threatened the head of the FDA with firing if he didn't approve the vaccine immediately. Luckily, I don't see any evidence that he aquiesed.
