The Brazilian government said this Friday that there is in the system of the Ministry of Health a former president Jair Bolsonaro’s coronavirus vaccination recordwho has come out as anti-vaccination during the pandemic and has even campaigned against the effectiveness of immunization.
The information was confirmed by the Minister of the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), Vinicius de Carvalho, although he clarified that still the veracity of these documents is being determined.
Specifically, we are investigating whether there has been any alteration in the vaccination booklet of the Unified Health System (SUS). For this, they will investigate the person responsible for registration and the person who would apply the vaccine.
“the registry exists, this is what we know. There is a letter within the CGU with information passed by the Ministry of Health,” the official said.
According to the document, the former president received the single dose of Janssen July 19, 2021, in an emergency room in Perus, north of São Paulo. He had been discharged the day before after spending four days hospitalized with gastric obstruction at the Nova Star private hospital.
The truth is that Bolsonaro claimed he had never been vaccinated against the coronavirus and imposed a 100-year secret on his medical recordwhile claiming privacy.
On June 18, 2021, a month before he was due to get vaccinated, he went live to insist he would be “the last person” to be vaccinated in Brazil: “I am leading by example. After the last person has been vaccinated, I will get vaccinated“.
On that occasion he pointed it out contracting the disease is “more effective” than injecting the drug: “All those who have contracted the virus are vaccinated, even more effectively than the vaccine itself, because they have really contracted the virus”.
The former president has been in the United States since December 30, when he left Brazil two days before the end of his mandate. A few days ago he announced to the Wall Street Journal that he was preparing to return to the country in March to lead the right-wing opposition to the Lula da Silva government.
They investigate a former Brazilian health minister
The Comptroller General of the Union has announced that the Army will lift the 100-year-old secret of the disciplinary process opened to the retired general in 10 days Eduardo PazuelloHe Bolsonaro’s controversial former health minister who was responsible when the crisis due to lack of oxygen occurred in hospitals in Manaus, in the state of Amazonia, in early 2021.
The open trial against Pazuello dates back to May 2021, when he had ceased to be a minister but was still an active army general. Although prohibited by his position, he attended a party event outside of President Bolsonaro’s official agenda.
Lula’s government established the revocation of everything right from the first decrees of 1 January 100 year old secrets determined by Bolsonaro to various government actions, including the guest book in the presidential residence on the guests of former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro.
