I don't see the full logic behind this one. People in danger are people in danger. The elderly have suffered the most and still under the worst conditions.
Cuomo was the talk of the country in the beginning of this pandemic as NY was getting annihilated. His non-stop updates endeared him to many. There was even talks in circles about replacing whomever with him for the presidency. But then more and more facts came out, starting with nursing homes of course. And only grew worse from there with his lies and denials. Now, quickly went from America's governor to America's most hated governor.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Prioritizes Addicts as Next to Receive Coronavirus Vaccine
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has prioritized addicts as one of the next groups in line to receive the limited supply of vaccines for the Chinese coronavirus, sparking backlash from Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who ripped the Democrat leader for “prioritizing vaccines for drug addicts over tens of thousands of seniors who have been home bound since the start of the pandemic.”
Cuomo this week announced New York would receive about 259,000 additional vaccines from both Pfizer and Moderna while detailing the rollout and distribution, prioritizing urgent care center employees, local health department staff, and residents of the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS), or addiction treatment facilities. Cuomo attributed the decision to the fact that such places are “congregate facilities.”
“Congregate facilities are problematic. That’s where you have a lot of people in concentration,” Cuomo said during Monday’s press conference, though he noted nursing homes are “obviously the most problematic because they’re congregate plus older, vulnerable people.”
“OASAS facilities, what we call the O facilities, they’re congregate — not necessarily older — but congregate facilities,” he continued.
His admission, that residents of addiction treatment facilities are taking priority in the distribution of the vaccine, drew ire from Stefanik, who referred to him as the “worst governor in America”:
