The trial began on Friday, but Minister Luiz Fux presented a highlight and raised the subject of the virtual plenary session, in which the ministers enter the vote into an electronic system.
With that, the STF will hold a session to discuss the actions. The trial will be by videoconference, a model adopted due to the pandemic.
Rapporteur of the case at the STF, Minister Ricardo Lewandowski voted in favor of the federal government presenting in 30 days a plan detailing the strategies and actions to ensure the supply of vaccines for the coronavirus. Lewandowski had already anticipated the conclusion of the vote on the 24th.
Days later, the federal government presented a “preliminary strategy” to vaccinate the population against Covid-19. According to the Ministry of Health, the expectation is to immunize 109.5 million people in a plan divided into 4 phases.
STF interrupts the trial that analyzes whether the government should present a vaccination plan
Lewandowski is the speaker of four actions that address the subject. The following processes will be judged:
- Sustainability Network party action: questions the act of President Jair Bolsonaro who denied the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello. In October, the Ministry of Health announced the purchase of 46 million doses of the Coronavac vaccine, developed in Brazil by the Butantan Institute in partnership with the Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinovac. The day after the announcement, Bolsonaro posted on a social network: “We will not buy the vaccine from China.” Then, the Health Minister said: “It’s that simple: one commands and the other obeys.”
- Performance of the PSOL, Cidadania, PT, PSB and PCdoB parties: asks the Supreme Court to oblige the government to present, within 30 days, the plan and program related to the vaccine and drugs against Covid-19, in addition to the investigations, treatments, protocols of intention or understandings provided. The parties want the government to be prohibited from editing acts that impede investigative measures or protocols of intent.
The other two lawsuits are scheduled to go to trial on December 11 and discuss whether authorities can force the population to get vaccinated against the disease.
