“I hope there is no interference from the Judiciary because my daughter will not be vaccinated, I make that very clear; she is 11 years old,” he said Bolsonaro to the channel CNN Brasil when commenting on the decision of Anvisa.
The president has his youngest daughter Laura, 11 years old, with his current wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, and since Anvisa authorized the vaccination of children under 11 years of age and launched a public campaign against the regulator’s scientists, to the point of threatening to publish their names so that the population “knows them.”
In a video, the ultra-right president, outraged, demanded the “names” of those who approved that vaccine. “I asked, unofficially, the name of the people who approved the vaccine for children from 5 years old. We want to disclose the names of those people so that the whole world knows who those people are and, obviously, form their judgment” , He said.
Bolsonaro said that the Ministry of Health must issue the regulations for the authorization of childhood vaccination on January 5.
In Brazil, only the application of the Pfizer vaccine was authorized for minors between 5 and 11. However, the government still does not have the pediatric doses from that laboratory.
At least 12 states have already announced that they will not accept requests for parental authorization or medical prescription as Bolsonaro urges to vaccinate children against the coronavirus.
The judge of the Supreme Federal Court (STF, supreme court) Ricardo Lewandowski today asked the attorney general for an opinion on opening a case against Bolsonaro for the threat to Anvisa scientists who authorized the vaccination against children carried out during his weekly Facebook program.
Bolsonaro maintains that he was not vaccinated against Covid-19 but kept his vaccination history under state secret.
The first lady was vaccinated in September in New York, during the trip she made to mark the opening of the UN General Assembly, after having skipped her turn in the Sistema Unico de Salud (SUS), the Brazilian public network.
In Brazil, complete immunization exceeded 67% of the population, while the booster dose was applied to almost 10% of the population.
Since December 11, the digital platforms of the Ministry of Health have been inaccessible due to a hacker attack, with which the country is barely informed with incomplete data on infections, deaths and vaccination on the page of the Council of Health Secretaries of the state.
Bolsonaro made the remarks while hugging thousands of people in Sao Francisco do Sul, on the coast of the state of Santa Catarina, one of the electoral strongholds of the far right, where he will spend this week on vacation to wait for the new year.
