Covid: STF Rapporteur concludes vote in favor of the government presenting vaccination plan in 30 days | Politics

If the minister’s vote is accompanied by the others, the term will come into effect from the notification to the government of the result of the trial.

In total, the STF analyzes four actions related to the future vaccine against Covid. The sentence of two of these actions, including the one that sets the deadline for submitting the plan, is scheduled for December 4 (read more details below). Lewandowski decided to go ahead of the vote.

The trial will take place in virtual plenary session, in which the ministers insert the votes directly into the electronic system, without the need for a session to be devoted to analyzing the issue.

In October, Lewandowski decided to send the issue directly to plenary, that is, without any individual decision on actions.

In Lewandowski’s view, “nothing prevents” the time limits from being determined, even if compliance with the measures occurs over a “longer period”.

I note, by the way, that the World Health Organization predicts that the current pandemic – if it behaves in a similar way to the “Spanish flu”, which circulated around the globe from 1918 to 1920 – could last for almost two years until stop and still depending on the development of suitable vaccines and global cooperation, ”the minister wrote in the vote.

Lewandowski also stressed that it is an “inescapable duty” of the Union to consider the use of “various vaccines” against Covid, and cannot rule them out.

“Given the concrete possibility that the different vaccines will soon successfully complete the respective test cycles, proving to be efficient and safe (…) it is an inescapable duty of the Union to consider the use of all of them to face the Covid outbreak -19, and you cannot rule them out, in whole or in part, unless you do so – and always in a motivated way – based on scientific evidence on their efficacy, accuracy, effectiveness and safety, as well as on the basis of a comparative economic analysis of costs and Benefits “

The actions that will be judged

The STF will analyze the following actions as of next day 4:

• Sustainability Network party action – He questions the act of President Jair Bolsonaro who disavowed the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello. In October, the Ministry of Health announced the purchase of 46 million doses of the CoronaVac vaccine, developed in Brazil by the Butantan Institute in partnership with the Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinovac. The day after the announcement, however, Bolsonaro posted on a social network: “We will not buy the vaccine from China.” Then the Health Minister said: “It’s that simple: one commands and the other obeys.”
• Action of the parties PSOL, Cidadania, PT, PSB and PCdoB – It asks the Supreme Court to oblige the government to present, within a period of 30 days, the plan and program related to the vaccine and drugs against Covid-19, in addition to the investigations, treatments, protocols of intention or understandings provided. The parties want the government to be prohibited from carrying out acts that impede investigative measures or protocols of intent.

In addition to these two actions, there are two others in the STF on the same topic. However, there is no set date for the trial:

• PDT action: calls on the STF that mayors and governors make the decision on a possible mandatory vaccination;
• PTB action: asks the STF to suspend the approval of a law passed this year, which empowers public authorities to determine the mandatory vaccination of the population.
