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.
SĂŁo Paulo Governor JoĂŁo 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 SĂŁo 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.

Brazilian Health Authorities Criticise the Low Transparency of the Chinese Vaccine Emergency Use Standard
Whether using vaccine manufactured by the Chinese company Sinovac Biotech caused controversy in Brazil again and involved in Brazilian partisan debate.
ANVISA, a Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency, expressed their concerns over the COVID-19 vaccines on Monday as the Chinese public health departments approved the vaccine for emergency use without adequate transparency of the policy standards.
Jair Bolsonaro, the President of Brazil, has always criticised the Chinese vaccine that the “origin” of vaccine is not trustworthy. However, his political opponent, Sao Paulo Governor João Doria, who is regarded as the most capable of challenging the presidency in the 2022 presidential election, his state's research institute, is currently developing the vaccine CoronaVac with Sinovac. Doria even mentioned that they expect to distribute the vaccines to the local residents in January 2021.
