An electronic device, who would say, became the main opponent of Jair Bolsonaro. Nothing is more corrosive to the prestige of the president than the vaccination scenes that come from abroad on television. The images make Bolsonaro dizzy.
In less than 72 hours, the president took three different positions. On Saturday, he ignored the advance of Covid vaccination in other countries. “I do not care about that”. On Sunday he said the opposite: “We are in a hurry to get a safe, effective and quality vaccine …” This Monday he blamed the manufacturers for the lack of vaccines in the domestic market.
“Brazil has 210 million inhabitants. A huge consumer market for anything. Didn’t the laboratories have to be interested in selling us? Why, then, do they not present documentation in Anvisa? People say I have to … No, no. Who wants to sell … If I am a seller, I want to present “.
The market, as we know, is usually governed by the law of supply and demand, not by the will of unforeseen managers. At the moment, the number of candidates for the vaccine is greater than the production capacity of the manufacturers. Therefore, the demand for vaccines is enormous, enormous, immeasurable.
Buyers line up outside the labs. It’s not that vaccine producers have forgotten about the Brazilian market. The fact is that the Bolsonaro government threw its best chips at the immunizer Oxford-AstraZeneca, which it delayed. He rejected everything else, while other countries went shopping.
Pfizer has been trying to sell its vaccine to Brazil since the middle of the year. The health portfolio just woke up now. In October, Bolsonaro had a commitment to buy 46 million doses of the Chinese CoronaVac, tested in Brazil by the Butantan Institute, destroyed. Now the government is considering ordering 100 million doses.
As Brazilians died of Covid, Bolsonaro imagined that denial and outsourcing of responsibilities would immunize his government against the effects of the pandemic. Now, at a time when Brazilians are beginning to die from lack of vaccines, it is more difficult to distribute the blame.
Not in vain Bolsonaro takes the health debate to the economic sphere. The economy comprises all the activities of the planet. But no activity on the planet fully understands the economy. When the subject understands neither the facts nor the numbers, just mix the facts (anguish X negligence) and numbers (210 million Brazilians X without dose), to weave with them an indecipherable syllogism. Ready! The confused manager can now claim that his devotees continue to regard him as an extraordinary president.
The only problem is that Bolsonaro’s poses don’t produce immunizers. The president has planted abandonment since March, when the pandemic began to kill in Brazil. Now he wants to collect vaccines. If you’re the type to save for bad days, start planning for the worst days.
