According to CNN:

"Cuomo said he also sent a letter to the President of Pfizer asking if New York can buy vaccine doses directly from the drug company, which Cuomo believes would be a first. “My job as governor of New York is to pursue every avenue and that’s what I am doing,” Cuomo said."

Well, that's exactly what we don't need. Rich states outbidding the poorer states and grabbing up all available doses of vaccine so people living in poorer states can't get access.
