Brazil President Refused to Buy Chinese Vaccine
Brazil, where the COVID-19 epidemic is severe, plans to launch a national vaccination program. The authorities once stated that they would use a Chinese vaccine, but this action aroused public opposition. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that he would not buy the Chinese vaccine.
BBC reported that a Bolsonaro supporter urged the authorities not to buy coronavirus vaccine from Sinovac, a Chinese company, on social media, to which Bolsonaro responded, "We will not buy the Chinese vaccine." He added that the Brazilian authorities have not yet approved the use of Sinovac vaccine.
São Paulo Governor João Doria once said the federal government would include CoronaVac, the vaccine from Sinovac, in National Vaccination Program, and agreed to purchase 46 million doses for the citizen of São Paulo. The vaccination program was planned to begin in January 2021. The Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello said on Tuesday (20 October) that the authorities would buy CoronaVac, but Bolsonaro directly rejected it.

Hundreds of People Protested Against the Push for Chinese Vaccination in Brazil São Paulo
More than 300 people demonstrated in the central business district of São Paolo, the biggest city in Brazil, on Sunday local times (Nov 1), opposing the measures suggested by the state governor João Doria on the universal COVID-19 vaccination, as well as opposing the authorities on the use of vaccines from a Chinese company Sinovac Biotech.
Protest participants expressed support for President Jair Bolsonaro, who opposed the use of Chinese vaccines. Some even viewed João Doria as China’s ambassador, forcing them to take the Chinese vaccines.
Doria earlier stated that as long as the vaccines were available and sufficient, he planned to force the citizens of São Paolo to vaccinate. However, President Bolsonaro indicated earlier that vaccination was only voluntary. Reports stated that the local Supreme Court would make a verdict on the issue later.
