The chaos that was installed in Health in Manaus is an omen of what could happen in the rest of Brazil! Add to that a possible war between States, Municipalities and the Union for the few doses of vaccine available.
All of this can be seen in the news and increases the despair and agony of this suffering people, at the mercy of politicians who spent the year 2020 discussing how much they would earn in the party cake.
If, Government, Congress, Justice, had joined forces to equip hospitals by investing billions used by the political class to support themselves during this year, if they had looked for ways to prioritize Health instead of politics, they would not be in chaos now.
State Governments have acted in a coordinated way, however, the craze of some to think that a cold grip is cured with tea and healing has led to an increase in cases of contaminated and deaths. As much as it is declared that the number of cured is greater, the number of deaths goes up more and more.
In the UK vaccination has started and Queen Elizabeth herself and her husband have been vaccinated. Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI also set an example and were vaccinated. The action demonstrates that great statesmen resort to vaccination for themselves and their subordinates.
The kind of mentality that buried Brazil in chaos already existed during the vaccination against smallpox in times of the Empire. Read the article published by this newspaper and prepared by the Senate team:
Although the nation’s living forces try their best to avoid the greatest evil, a little guerrilla seems to be being prepared and it is already debated whether São Paulo will have enough vaccines if the Ministry of Health confiscates part of the Butantan Institute’s production.
A true statesman would have, right at the beginning of the pandemic, turned all his forces to strengthen the research sectors, strengthen hospitals and equip Health to face this acute crisis.
Unfortunately the milk is spilled! The political consequences will come in 2022!
