Elcio Franco assures that the toucan plays with ‘the hope of thousands of Brazilians’ by promising to immunize the population against covid-19 in January
The Ministry of Health published a video on the afternoon of Sunday 13, in which the executive secretary of the portfolio, Colonel Elcio Franco, criticizes the governor of São Paulo, João Doria (PSDB), and says that the toucan plays with “the hope of thousands of Brazilians ”by promising to vaccinate the population against covid-19. In the almost eight-minute recording, the military assures that Doria’s announcement is a “dream.”
“Mr. João Doria, don’t play with the hope of thousands of Brazilians. Do not sell dreams that you cannot fulfill, promising immunization with a product that is not even registered or authorized for emergency use, ”says the colonel.
The video was published on the official page of the Ministry of Health and shared on the military’s social network, being distributed in WhatsApp groups. The folder confirmed to Estadão that the recording was made by the agency’s communications department.

The government of São Paulo announced on Monday 7 the Coronavac vaccination plan, which generated immediate criticism from the federal government, since the immunizer, produced by the Chinese laboratory Sinovac in association with the Butantã Institute, is still in the third phase of tests and its effectiveness must be proven before being published by the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa).
The calendar foresees the start of vaccination for January 25, 2021. The first group to receive the coronavirus vaccine, according to the São Paulo government plan, will include health professionals, indigenous people and quilombolas from all over the state.
At another point in the recording, Franco says that the vaccination plan presented by Doria is a dream. “What was shown on television today is just another dream of the governor of São Paulo, who is daydreaming. It will not be with hate speech or prejudice that solutions will be found,” he said.
“Brazil will not divide. Under the leadership of President Jair Bolsonaro, we are a nation, strong, determined and ready to defeat the common enemy: the virus, ”he said.
The executive secretary begins the recording by saying that “there is a great difference in the information disseminated about the emergency authorization and the definitive registration for mass vaccination. “The subject cannot be polarized for speeches with personal promotions or political ends, going through important scientific rites that provide security for you and your family.”
The military said that “it would be irresponsible to give specific dates for the start of vaccination, because it depends on registration with a regulatory agency.” According to him, full safety can only be guaranteed “when phase 3 clinical studies are completed.” Franco also said that “according to Anvisa, none of the laboratories has even started the authorization process for emergency use on an experimental basis.”
“How to establish the vaccination schedule without knowing if the vaccine will be launched for use, with the certainty of its safety and effectiveness? It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Health to be the coordinator of the national immunization plan. Thinking about the health of Brazilians, the federal government will not announce anything irresponsibly, ”said Franco.
STF. The video was released by the Ministry of Health at 3:35 pm, about fifty minutes before the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Ricardo Lewandowski determined that the government should clarify the deadline to start and end the vaccination. Lewandowski gave the folder 48 hours to send the information to the court.
According to the secretary, the vaccination will be a comprehensive action, led by the federal Executive Power, which will involve the ministries of Health, Economy, Defense, Justice, Infrastructure, as well as state and municipal governments and the private sector.
Franco affirms that the Ministry of Health, together with states and municipalities, already has distribution logistics, operated and administered in 38 thousand vaccination posts. “President Bolsonaro is sparing no effort and has been working hard to ensure access to a safe and effective vaccine,” Franco said.
The Ministry of Health, through the press office, reported that the video made by the secretary was an explanation, but did not confirm the date of the recording. Initially, the information is that the video would have been recorded on Thursday 10th. However, when asked why Minister Eduardo Pazuello did not make the recording, the answer is that he was in Goiânia. The agenda with the minister took place on Friday 11.
Wanted, Governor João Doria said he will speak at the press conference on Monday 14.
