An unconditional ally of the Bolsonaro government, Record was unable to defend the president’s position regarding the start of vaccination against covid-19 in Brazil.
The station’s main news program avoided exposing the explicit conflict between the governor of São Paulo, João Dória, and the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, but was not as generous, as usual, with the president. With great care and subtlety, he criticized Bolsonaro.
The “Jornal da Record” initially highlighted the president’s lack of enthusiasm for the good news on Sunday (the approval of the vaccine by Anvisa) and recalled that the president, in October 2020, hindered the negotiations for the purchase of CoronaVac .
Presenter Christina Lemos noted that Bolsonaro took a day to speak about Anvisa’s decision: “President Bolsonaro spoke today, for the first time, about Anvisa’s approval of vaccines.”
After showing the video in which the president says that the CoronaVac vaccine “is not from any governor, it is from Brazil,” the reporter Renata Varandas stressed: “The statement marks a change in the president’s position. In October, he even suspended an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the Butantan Institute to purchase 46 million doses of CoronaVac ”.
The same reporter also mocked Vice President Hamilton Mourão’s statement about what he felt when he saw the first person get vaccinated in Brazil (“I don’t feel any of that there”). “Mourão was economical in his words,” Varandas said.
Subsequently, JR modified this news with data from an XP-Ipespe survey on the Bolsonaro government’s assessment in January, compared to December 2020. The data shows an increase from “bad / terrible” from 35% to 40% % and a drop from 38% to 32% of those who think “very well”.
And, finally, there was still time to register: “The lack of a concrete national vaccination plan made Minister Ricardo Lewandowski of the Supreme Court determine that the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, present a plan with updated dates and doses.”
It was only 2 minutes and 20 seconds of bad news for the government. But it seemed like an eternity for a government that is used to hearing basically good news on the news.
