“Chloroquine can work. One or two years from now, it can be concluded that it did not work or that it was effective. Chloroquine is not my imposition. It is something that can be effective, I am not a doctor, “said Bolsonaro.

247 – Along with the new Minister of Health, NelsonTeich, Jair Bolsonaro made the weekly broadcast on Facebook this Thursday (16), and toned down on the use of chloroquine as a drug for the coronavirus, although there is still no scientific evidence of its effectiveness.
In Bolsonaro’s case, the contradictory discourse is part of the pathology. Unlike what he did in the last month, in the transmission, he did not show enthusiasm from other times with the drug, which he already said is the “cure” for coronavirus.
“But if you have a person bitten by a snake and you have a serum that you don’t know is for that snake, will it work or not?” He asked. “Chloroquine can work. One or two years from now, it can be concluded that it did not work or that it was effective. Chloroquine is not my imposition. It is something that can be effective, I am not a doctor, “said Bolsonaro.
When asked about the drug by Bolsonaro, Teich, who is an oncologist, said that “drugs without proof of effectiveness create criteria to make available when he believes the benefit may outweigh the possible harm,” he said.
“The important thing is to work to understand medicine. There are some indications that it works and questions of efficacy and toxicity. Our role is to make the solution fast based on accurate and reliable data. I think this will come in a relatively short time, “promised the minister, without giving details.
In 2016, Nelson Teich defined as “populist” the release of phosphoethanolamine, a compound known as the cancer pill, carried out by the bill prepared by then federal deputy Bolsonaro.
