Brazil will require more information and talks before it commits to buying the Russian COVID-19 vaccine, which is at a very early stage, the country's acting health minister said on Thursday.

With the world’s second-worst coronavirus outbreak, Brazil has become a magnet for drugmakers seeking partners to test their potential vaccines – and then produce and buy the successful candidates. Speaking with lawmakers on Thursday, the health minister, Eduardo Pazeullo, said he took part in a video conference on Wednesday with representatives from national health regulator Anvisa, the Russian embassy in Brazil and the Parana government but said the Russian vaccine was still at an early stage.

Nonetheless, he added that “we must also participate” if the Russian vaccine, which has faced skepticism from scientific experts due to a lack of test results, is shown to work.

The health minister that’s actually a military general 😂

but we have not any health minister...

Here is spread map of COVID19

Well who would?! It’s probably full of the stuff they bump people off with to achieve world domination. What a great opportunity for the the Ruskies. Better than Bill Gates conspiracy Theories!

Even Brazil does not trust it! Says it all😀

This is the guy who claims he didn't meddle in the 2016 election. His word is worthless.

Is this vaccine legitimate or not? I’m so confused lol please help

Health Minister?!?!? 😅😂🤣😅😂😅😂🤣😅😂🙏

Buy it? They're Guinea pigs for Russia; they should be paid for the vaccine trial.

More they kill the less Brazil will need to destroy the rainforest maybe ! Always a silver lining

This person is NOT a Health Minister ! He’s just one more general in charge instead a doctor doing shit every day while the country overcomes 100.000 deaths !

Dude, first: We don't have a health minister.

que ministro da saúde ?

Qual ministro da Saúde? Não temos a meses E não é ironia

That vaccine won't be in stock when you demand it.

As if Russia is dying to sell it to Brazil lol

O Brasil nem Ministro da Saúde tem.

Did Russia test this vaccine on...I don't know...Russians prior to making it available on the open market? Or are they just planning to watch people from other countries act as the guinea pigs? Why would anybody buy this thing before it was tested in Russia?

Keep Praying over it and be sure....

Wonder why...
