President Jair Bolsonaro said on Saturday (26) that he does not feel pressured by the fact that other countries have already started vaccinating their population against Covid-19. He said he doesn’t care.
Bolsonaro made the statement when asked if the fact that other countries have started immunizing their populations could put pressure on the Brazilian government.
In Latin America, Mexico, Chile and Costa Rica began vaccination against Covid-19 on Thursday (24). On the same day, a shipment of 300,000 Russian-produced Sputnik V vaccines arrived in Argentina. The batch will allow the country to start an immunization campaign soon.
“Nobody presses me for anything, I don’t give a damn. It is the reason, the reasonableness, it is the responsibility to the people, nothing can be applied to the people,” said the president.
Bolsonaro also said that he signed a provisional measure to buy vaccines, but that immunizers need authorization from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) to be purchased.
The president also said that the laboratories that make the vaccines are not responsible for the side effects of the product.
“In everything I have seen so far, in the vaccines that may be available, there is a clause that says the following: they are not responsible for any side effects,” said the president.
The speeches were delivered this Saturday morning (26) during a tour that the president made in Brasilia. Bolsonaro did not wear masks the entire way. He greeted people and entered establishments.
The president started the tour in the Cruzeiro Velho neighborhood. He went to a lottery shop and then to a bakery, where he had coffee. Then the president went to a club in the Urban Military Sector. Then the president went to a stationery store in the Graphic Sector of Brasilia. From there, he went to a place known as “Rua das Motos”, in the southwest.
