I've heared stories about buddhist monks dying by their will. But nothing like this particular mishap

SAO PAULO -- Brazil’s 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.
The regulator, Anvisa, said in a statement Friday that Sao Paulo state's Butantan Institute can import 6 million doses of the CoronaVac shot that Chinese biopharmaceutical firm Sinovac is developing. The potential vaccine cannot be administered to Brazilians as it isn’t yet approved locally, the statement said.
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.
“There is no intention to buy vaccines from China,” said Antonio Elcio Franco, who added there will be only “a Brazilian vaccine” made at the Butantan Institute.
Brazil's presidential palace didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about Anvisa's authorization of imported vials.
Its authorization comes after the Butantan Institute’s director, Dimas Covas, told newspaper Folha de S.Paulo that Anvisa was withholding permission to import inputs from Sinovac in order to produce the vaccine in Brazil.
Anvisa said in a separate statement earlier Friday that it had analyzed the request and found some discrepancies.
Bolsonaro has often expressed mistrust of China, particularly on the campaign trail in 2018, although he has softened his rhetoric somewhat in office.
“From China, we will not buy. I don’t believe it transmits enough safety to the population, because of its origin. That's our thinking,” he said in an interview with radio station Jovem Pan on Thursday night. “With certainty, other vaccines that are being studied could be scientifically proven.”
In June, Brazil’s government announced a deal with Oxford University and pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca to purchase 100 million doses of its potential coronavirus vaccine.

It's little wonder as to why Europe and USA is having such hard time fighting this pandemic.
Intrepid
Major
That is in the nature of things: the freedom to think and act coupled with the human inadequacy of protecting oneself from long-term dangers. Otherwise there would be no smokers for a long time.
The West’s long-term dominance and white privilege have led to a permanent state of arrogance.
As I predicted in the first post of this thread, the racists will get it.
Let see if there will be another French Revolution as a result
This is really worrying, because if you scale up for population, it is the same as saying that the US has close to 300,000 cases a day. How is this even possible? This would also suggest that deaths are 1/500, again which is very low and is only 2x as deadly as the normal flu (which kills 1/1000). Something is fishy here.[/QUOTE]
Too much emphasis on individual freedom/rights, not enough on social responsibilities
