“The Brazilian people will not be guinea pigs,” says Bolsonaro

President Jair Bolsonaro (no party) confirmed today, in an official message on Facebook, that he will not buy the CoronaVac vaccine, as announced yesterday by the Ministry of Health, before it was certified by the Ministry of Health and Anvisa (National Surveillance Agency Sanitary). ).

Calling the vaccine developed by the Sinovac laboratory “china” and “João Doria”, referring to the fact that the government of São Paulo is the main supporter of the vaccine, Bolsonaro said that the “Brazilian people will not be guinea pigs” and it does not justify a multi-million dollar financial contribution on a drug that has not even passed its testing phase ”. He capitalized some sentences.

“The Chinese vaccine of João Dória: For my Government, any vaccine, before being made available to the population, must be scientifically tested by the Ministry of Health and certified by Anvisa. The Brazilian people will not be a guinea pig for anyone . There is no justification for a billionaire. Financial contribution on a drug that has not even passed its testing phase. Given the above, my decision is not to buy the vaccine, “he wrote.

Vehicles gather for information

In response to the decision of the government of Jair Bolsonaro to restrict access to data on the covid-19 pandemic, media Twitter, El Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1 and Extra formed a consortium to work collaboratively to seek the necessary information directly from the state health departments of the 27 units of the Federation.

The federal government, through the Ministry of Health, should be the natural source of these figures, but the attitudes of the authorities and the president himself during the pandemic cast doubt on the availability of the data and its veracity.
