Brazil today registered 1,452 deaths from covid-19. It is the highest number of deaths in the first 42 days of 2021.
In the weekly live, President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) scorned the high number of fatalities: “There is no use staying home crying, you get nowhere.”
He went on to talk about chloroquine, a drug that has not been proven effective against COVID. According to the president, there was no waste of public resources in producing the drug.
As revealed by Folha de S. Paulo, the government used funds to combat the pandemic so that Fiocruz (Fundación Oswaldo Cruz) could produce millions of doses of chloroquine.
Folha also published today a response from the Ministry of Health to the questions of the MPF (Federal Public Ministry) about these expenditures on drugs. According to the document obtained by the newspaper, the folder admitted that it used chloroquine made to fight malaria in the treatment against covid-19.
Bolsonaro also announced the ineffective drug: “There are many doctors who use hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin [antiparasitário] for early treatment. “There is no scientific evidence of improvement in the systems of those who use these drugs.
The president also said that he will speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Brazil to import an experimental spray, used in the treatment of cancer, which is being tested in severe cases of covid.
The north of the country had two bad news. Fiocruz found unprecedented mutations in the coronavirus in Rondônia, where the health system collapsed.
Researcher Deusilene Vieira says that the number of new mutations caught the attention of researchers because it was almost double the amount initially revealed, showing an evolutionary process and worrying about the new coronavirus.
“In the genomic study we did at the beginning, between April and May, there were 22 mutations and now there are 41. Many of them are not yet described in the literature,” he says.
In Amazonas, indigenous people said evangelical missionaries are causing fear over the vaccine. The Jamamadi Indians expelled visiting health professionals with bows and arrows this month.
Balance of vaccinated
In Brazil, the two doses of the covid vaccine reached only 0.05% of the population (less than 109 thousand people). Those immunized with the first dose exceeded 4.5 million vaccinated, or 2.16% if compared to the entire Brazilian population.
Regarding the studies on the disease, a survey by the Incor (Instituto do Coração) found that covid-19 can cause sequelae in the cognitive system of people who presented mild symptoms.
Fiocruz, for its part, reported that there was a drop in cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in eight capitals.
