247 – The researcher Margareth Dalcomo, from the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), warned about the lack of coordination of the government of Jair Bolsonaro in the management of the coronavirus crisis and affirmed that the population should not be vaccinated before February. According to the academic, six months ago, when the Phase 3 studies began, “a more harmonious and centralized coordination of the federal government was necessary, but with the consent and collaboration of the academic community.”

“This did not happen realistically, the impression we have is that before February no one should be vaccinated in Brazil,” Margareth said in an interview with CNN Brazil.

The researcher pointed out that the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) “can only register a product that is registered in its country of origin.” And neither of the two advanced in Brazil, which are Sinovac and AstraZeneca, have it. So, they couldn’t be used to vaccinate the Brazilian population, ”he added.

Brazil ranks third in the world ranking of coronavirus cases (7.4 million), behind India (10.1 million) and the United States (19.2 million). The Brazilian government also registers the second highest number of deaths (190 thousand), the first is that of the United States (338 thousand).
