This scene occurs at a time when not only has the coronavirus pandemic not ended, but several countries in Latin America, including Brazil, have started to demonstrate a exponential increase in infections.

Since the arrival of COVID-19 in Brazil, Bolsonaro has been elusive in the face of the possible consequences and has even taken offense at the mayors of certain states who have decided to restrict the movement of people. When the virus started to spread in the region, and led his country to become the second most contagious on the continent, the Brazilian president described it as “a flu” and he showed himself without a mask, turning a deaf ear to the recommendations of the experts.

On July 7, the 65-year-old Brazilian president tested positive for coronavirus. While suffering from the disease, he took off his mask to talk to the journalists who were waiting for him when he was discharged from the hospital, without respecting the social distance with them. Finally, he managed to overcome the disease.

Currently, while the vaccination campaign has already started in several countries around the world, the biggest criticism of the President of Brazil is that he seems to have no date for the start of vaccination. “We are still living the end of the pandemic. Our government, compared to other countries, has been the one that has had the best success, or one of the best, to come out of the pandemic ”, declared Bolsonaro on December 10 during an official ceremony in Porto Alegre. , capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. However, his country already has 195,725 deaths from COVID-19.

This Sunday, the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) of Brazil authorized “exceptional import” of two million doses vaccine Oxford and AstraZeneca, as reported by the regulatory body.

In a statement, he explained that the request was made by the state laboratory Fiocruz, which will be in charge of the management of imported doses and local production on the basis of the technology transfer agreement concluded between the British consortium and the Brazilian government. However, he clarified that the doses expected to reach the country this month they cannot be provided still to people because “the immunizer has not been submitted for authorization of use in an emergency or final health record ”.

According to information, the import “is a preparation to anticipate the availability vaccines after product approval ”.

Brazil hopes that in the first half of the year, with a combination of imported vaccines and other products in the country, 110 million doses, equivalent to half of the country’s population. The government has already reserved the resources of its national budget to be able to pay them.

The doses that would arrive this month, according to Anvisa, were produced in India by the Serum Institute and are part of the platform Installation of Covaxx, a worldwide program of the World Health Organization (WHO) to guarantee an antivirus to all countries and of which Brazil is a part.

So far, San Pablo has received 10.6 million doses and must submit to Anvisa the result of the third phase studies and the level of effectiveness on January 7, while the AstraZeneca documentation is expected to be delivered a week later on January 15.

In addition to Chinese vaccines Coronavac and the British of Astrazeneca, the arrival of doses of the american Pfizer-BioNTech and that of the Belgian Janssen, European arm of the North American multinational Johnson & johnson, who are carrying out three-phase studies with volunteers from this country.

However, none of the manufacturers have yet applied for approval for emergency use or have completed submitting the necessary documents to authorize the application of the vaccines.

Meanwhile, the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, is not part of the current table of vaccines considered by Anvisa for not having carried out studies in the country with volunteers. However, they predicted that it could be included in the “conclusion of an order analysis,” the Brazilian regulator stressed.
