Amid discussions about demanding proof of vaccination for foreign tourists, closing some borders or even resuming some restrictive measures due to fear of the Ômicron variant, President Jair Bolsonaro again criticized the social isolation and made an emphatic defense of the doctor’s autonomy, including to prescribe medications that do not have any kind of scientific evidence.
“What I recommend is that people, whether they are vaccinated or not, look for their doctor,” Bolsonaro said in an interview at Escola Naval, in Rio. ”
To defend his position, Bolsonaro once again used an example regarding supposed practices used in the past. “In the War of the Pacific the man – the man, because the woman did not go to war at that time – came back wounded and had no blood. What did you do at that moment to replace the blood? Coconut water in the wounds’ veins. If scientific proof were to be expected, tens, hundreds, thousands would have died”, he said.
Once again, he advocated the use of chloroquine. “I took hydroxychloroquine, and if it contaminates me again, I take it again,” said Bolsonaro.
The president also defended himself from criticism regarding the delay in starting vaccination in Brazil. “It’s because Mr. Omar Aziz, the brother of Renan Calheiros, Renildo Calheiros, and the rapporteur of an MP at the time, Senator Randolfe Rodrigues, wanted any mayor or governor to be able to buy vaccine without ANVISA certification and without a bidding process. If they stole so much, as the CPI in the state of Rio Grande do Norte has proven, imagine what could happen. And they spent money on a vaccine that was not recognized by Anvisa.”
Bolsonaro also said that “Ômicron is already in Brazil” and that it must be faced. The president declared that, if it were up to him, the only requirement that would be made to travelers would be for PCR tests. And he criticized governors who suggest new closure of spaces. “They are dictators who think they own that space. It’s not like this”.
