President Jair Bolsonaro said on Wednesday, the 21st, that he ordered the “cancellation” of the protocol of intentions signed on Tuesday, the 20th, by the Ministry of Health for the acquisition of 46 million vaccines from the Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinovac. Bolsonaro highlighted that he is “perfectly in tune with the Ministry of Health working on the search for a reliable vaccine”.
According to the president, any statement outside this sense would be “speculation” and “political gamesmanship”. The president stopped to give an interview this Wednesday during a visit to the Navy Technological Center (CTMSP), in Iperó (SP).
“Nothing will be spent now to buy a Chinese vaccine, which I am not aware of, but it seems that no country in the world is interested in it. There may be some country there. Now, vaccines have to have scientific proof, unlike hydroxychloroquine,” he declared.
Bolsonaro also stated that China is afraid of testing the vaccine en masse and wants to sell it to Brazil.
Bolsonaro makes it very clear that after mass testing and proof of the vaccine's effectiveness, Brazil will purchase the first batches.
