The governor of São Paulo, João Doria (PSDB), announced that the 6 million doses of the Coronavac vaccine, developed by the Sinovac-Butantan association, should arrive in the country “at the latest” until next Monday 2, on a special flight . The government of the State of São Paulo is still waiting for the completion of clinical tests and authorization from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) to begin applying the immunizer.

The vaccine has been a field of dispute between President Jair Bolsonaro and the state government. Last week, Bolsonaro dismissed the purchase intention signed by the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, for the use of the vaccine by the Unified Health System (SUS). According to Doria, it is the third time that in “a reprehensible act” the president disavows the Minister of Health.

According to Doria, it is “incredible” that the president of the country does not support the salvation and life of Brazilians. “It seems that he expects the opposite, because if he waited in favor, he would wait for all the vaccines that, effectively and with the approval of Anvisa, could be applied to Brazilians,” said the governor. “This is the vision that would be expected from a leader in Brazil,” he said.

Meeting

Doria also suggested a meeting between the president and Brazilian governors and mayors to address the issue. “If President Bolsonaro spoke so many times that he believes in the federal system and wants to maintain the federal system, invite the governors to a meeting, whose agenda is precisely the preservation of the health and life of Brazilians,” said Doria.

The governor of São Paulo said he regretted that President Bolsonaro “once again sets a bad example” by not wearing masks, promoting agglomerations and without speaking words of solidarity with the victims of Covid-19. “There are 500 people who die every day. I do not see the president expressing his solidarity with the families of these people who lose loved ones,” said the governor of Tucano.
