Without showing plan, Doria plans vaccination in January
The governor of São Paulo, João Doria (PSDB), criticized today the forecast of the Ministry of Health to start vaccination against covid-19 in March next year. Doria believes that the state of São Paulo will begin applying CoronaVac in January, a vaccine developed by the Butantan Institute in partnership with the Chinese laboratory Sinovac. However, you have yet to come up with a plan to make that happen.
According to the São Paulo government, the forecast is that the immunizer will have an emergency use authorization from Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) in the first month of next year. If it is not distributed by SUS (Unified Health System), Doria said that it already has a state vaccination plan drawn up, which has not yet been disclosed.
I ask if the members of the federal government do not see, do not read and do not register the fact that we have more than 500 Brazilians who die every day from covid-19. It is surprising this indifference, this distance and the lack of compassion for the life of Brazilians. “, Doria said during a press conference at the Palácio dos Bandeirantes, in São Paulo.
It is not the first time that Doria has given a date for the start of vaccination against covid-19 in the state. In September, when he signed the contract for the purchase of 46 million doses of CoronaVac, he said that the intention was to start the vaccination campaign for health professionals in the state on December 15. However, the vaccine continues to be tested and must be authorized by Anvisa before being distributed and applied.
Vehicles gather to obtain information
In response to the decision of the government of Jair Bolsonaro to restrict access to data on the covid-19 pandemic, media Twitter, El Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1 and Extra formed a consortium to work collaboratively to seek the necessary information directly from the state health departments of the 27 units of the Federation.
The federal government, through the Ministry of Health, should be the natural source of these figures, but the attitudes of the authorities and the president himself during the pandemic cast doubt on the availability of the data and its veracity.
To measure the situation of deaths from covid-19, experts indicate using the moving average of deaths, which calculates the average of records observed in the last seven days. The operation is the most suitable to observe the trend of the statistics, since it balances the abrupt variations of the numbers throughout the week.
The media consortium adopted this period to check for fluctuations in the moving average. It is possible to speak of a decrease in figures when the decrease is greater than 15% if it is verified in the last 14 days, in this case, the period of the last two weeks. If the numbers rise more than 15%, the epidemic accelerates. Intermediate values indicate stability.
