To me Gamaleya is turning a thecnical decision in a political one. Thanks to mistakes and possible crimes commit by the Brazilian goverment, when rejecting other vacines, they are now being pressured in accepting this vaccine no matter what. I don't think this is how a sanitary inspection agency should act, approving things based in pure pressure.

  > Thanks to mistakes and possible crimes commit by the Brazilian goverment, when rejecting other vacines Well, that's the first COVID-19 vaccine the Brazilian government has rejected.

    Not really, Covaxin was also rejected about a month prior. However I believe the original comment refers to the refusal of the Brazilian government to commit/invest in any of the vaccines while they were being developed, then stubbornly dismissing the importance of vaccination while promoting snake oil treatments.

      Yes. The president of Brazil is now fighing a against a Comission in the brazilian senate that is revising all the work of lack of that the brazilian federal goverment put in the figth against Covid. This is now problably the moment of more political fragility he ever been, Governors and mayors tired of waiting for the federal goverment that is still dennying the gravity of the situation, formed a group to import vacines by themselves. The problem is that there's no vacins avaliable in the market because there still a lot of nations that got first in the line, and production is still not enougth. The alternative that they got was coaxin that was rejected, and the russian vacine, that have thisconfidence problems that led to it being reject.

    Bolsonaro actively campaigned against the vaccine that is responsible for about 98% of the doses administered to Brazilians because it was seen as sponsored by a political adversary.

For the record, I believe that's the very first time I've seen him use the word "bullshit", and I've been following him for over 10 years.

  " I have a great deal of sympathy for the Russian people, who over the years have managed to make great contributions to humanity while cynically being abused by their leaders, who have too often been a series of despots and thieves." Hot damn.
