Sao Paolo Begins Importing Chinese COVID Vaccine Amid Resistance From Bolsonaro
Despite Brazilian authorities recent decision to freeze a local SinoVac trial after a participant died under mysterious circumstances, the governor of Sao Paolo, Brazil's most populous state, has struck a deal with the state-backed Chinese biotech firm to ship 120,000 doses of the still-unproven vaccine.
News of the deliveries arrives after Brazilian health regulator Anvisa has been struggling with criticism that its decision to unpause the Sinovac trial after less than 48 hours may have been politically motivated, as the safety of Chinese vaccines becomes an extremely divisive issue in Brazil.
The state has been among the hardest hit in Brazil, and with COVID-19 cases rising, officials have already started taking shipments of the Chinese vaccine, even though Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has publicly criticized China for unleashing the virus, and warned that the vaccines being produced by state-backed companies shouldn't be trusted.
