Anvisa says it will import 6 million doses of CoronaVac shot but it cannot be administered to Brazilians yet

Sao Paulo Gov. Joao Doria speaks during a press conference after a meeting on the CoronaVac vaccine, at the National Health Surveillance Agency headquarters in Brasilia, Brazil, Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2020.Brazil’s health regulator has authorized the import from China of a potential vaccine against the coronavirus, just days after President Jair Bolsonaro insisted he wouldn’t allow doses to be shipped from the Asian nation.

Earlier this week, Bolsonaro sparked confusion when he publicly rejected the CoronaVac shot, saying Brazilians would not be used as guinea pigs. The declaration followed news that his health minister, Eduardo Pazuello, had agreed to purchase CoronaVac doses produced locally by the Butantan Institute.On Wednesday, the executive secretary of Brazil’s Health Ministry said in a televised statement that there had been a misunderstanding.

Brazil’s presidential palace didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about Anvisa’s authorization of imported vials. Anvisa said in a separate statement earlier Friday that it had analyzed the request and found some discrepancies.

FDA approves first COVID-19 drug: the antiviral remdesivirThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first drug to treat COVID-19: remdesivir, an antiviral medicine given through an IV for patients needing hospitalization. This is the second approval, for normal people. It got approval for special people months ago. Where are all the MSM people that were making fun of Trump endorsing it about ten days ago? Hmmm? Shame on the MSM for calling Donald Trump a liar. I am beginning to think he tells the TRUTH.
