Revoking wrong attitudes and opinions is not just a demonstration of rationality. It is an act of bravery. In particular, by the government. A true statesman is one who also knows how to learn from his own mistakes and, therefore, aspires to achieve the common good. Tyrants, for their part, insist on making the same mistakes, because they believe that admitting that they have made mistakes is a sign of weakness and they fear opening loopholes to opponents. The common good is the last thing they think of, when they think of it.
Today, we report that the Ministry of Health published a message on Twitter recommending social isolation and reinforcing the fact that there is no effective remedy against Covid-19. The message was utterly trivial, but helpful in warning people that if vaccines in testing proved effective, that doesn’t mean you can relax anymore. The message read: “Hello! It is important to remember that, to date, there are no specific vaccines, foods, substances or remedies that prevent or can end Covid-19. Our greatest action against the virus is social isolation and compliance with individual protection measures ”.
As published by the Ministry of Health, many people believed that Jair Bolsonaro had finally regained his reason and began to admit that restrictive measures are the only way to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus and that chloroquine does not work to cure it. that, as medical studies affirm. But the illusion soon faded. We went to report the tweet and the Ministry of Health rushed to delete it.
It’s another ridiculous episode starring the federal government. Bolsonaro inspires fear in people who fear losing their jobs for doing the right thing. And he, in the most benign hypothesis, is terrified to admit that he was wrong and change his attitude or opinion about the obvious in the opposite direction. Tyrannical sissy thing, to put the situation in the president’s terms.
