More than 600,000 died; More than 22 million people are infected with the corona virus. Bulletin of Govt-19 Observatory Gives Fiocross Examined this situation. You The researchers pointed out the main problems of the second year of the epidemic.

Misinformation, vulnerability of data systems and politicization of Govt counter measures: This is how the year 2021 ends. Added to these challenges are the emergence of new variants, uncertainty in decision making to fight Govt, denial and attack on vaccines.

• Only 16% of municipalities in Brazil have more than 80% of the population vaccinated, according to a study.
• Millions of Brazilians have been delayed in their efforts to combat goiter

Coordinator of the Govt-19 Monitoring Center Fiocross, Carlos Machado says the weakness of the federal government’s information infrastructure is unacceptable.

“We’ve been traveling in the dark for about two weeks now, and information about an epidemic – cases, hospitalizations, vaccinations – is basic. And when there are more people in circulation on the go, it can lead to bad results, ”he says.

Epidemiologist Alexandre Barbosa says these problems also affect leading professionals: “Often, on the federal side, we see approaches that promote anti-vaccine approaches or drugs that have not been proven effective. And all of this makes a lot of noise to people. In other words, the lack of transparency in publication, data access and instability in scientific discourse are major barriers to those at the forefront.

A Vaccine for children against Govt-19, Is considered the basis for researchers, and was highlighted in the bulletin.

“About 30% of the population are children. This is a very important group that needs to be vaccinated. Therefore, protecting the health of all means protecting the health of children. Foolish attacks, attacks on science, attacks on Anvisa, attacks on decisions that protect people’s health cannot continue. We need faith in health, in science, in the practices that are being pursued, because that is what saved lives, not the other way around, ”said Carlos Machado.
