A day after saying that he does not care about vaccination and that he does not feel pressured to immunize the Brazilian population, President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) said today (27) that he is in a hurry for the vaccine.
The president wrote today on his Facebook profile that he is “in a hurry to get a safe, effective and quality vaccine manufactured by duly certified laboratories.” However, no date has yet been given for dosing.
“Nobody pressures me for anything, I don’t give a damn,” he said after journalists asked him yesterday (26) if there was pressure because other countries had begun to immunize the population.
“It is the reason, the reasonableness, it is the responsibility of the people, nothing can be applied to the people,” he added.
The country is one of the most affected by the new coronavirus pandemic and has 190,800 deaths due to the disease. The number of people who were infected with the disease reached 7.4 million. The data was published yesterday (26) by the press media consortium, of which the Twitter It is part of.
In addition to European countries and the United States and Canada, Latin American countries have already started vaccination. Chile, Mexico and Costa Rica were the first countries to apply doses against Covid-19, this Thursday (24). Argentina announced the vaccination as of Tuesday (29).
Brazil remains one of the few nations on the continent that does not have an official forecast for the start of the immunization campaign.
“As soon as a Laboratory submits its request for emergency use, or registration with ANVISA, and it proceeds to its complete analysis and acceptance, the vaccine will be offered to everyone and in a FREE and NON-OBLIGATORY way,” Bolsonaro wrote.
Bolsonaro said that four laboratories carry out clinical vaccination studies in the country and that none requested authorization for emergency use (for risk groups) or registration (for mass vaccination) from Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency).
The president said that “if he pressed the vaccine, they would accuse him of interference and irresponsibility.”
