Another action, also postponed, questions President Jair Bolsonaro’s act of disavowing the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, in relation to the possible purchase of the Coronavac vaccine.

The postponements were produced by a prominent request from the president of the court, Minister Luiz Fux, hours after the analysis of the issue began. With the request, the case can be brought to trial in plenary by videoconference.

Rapporteur of the processes, Minister Ricardo Lewandowski even presented the vote to determine that the federal government present 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.

The minister is the rapporteur for four actions that address the issue. These two processes were under consideration:

  • 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, however, 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 taking actions that impede investigative measures or protocols of intent.

The other two lawsuits go to trial on December 11 and discuss whether the authorities can force the population to be vaccinated against the disease.
