‘This report will seem like a sentence, but the government is calm. You can criticise the president’s attitude, but not incriminate him,’ Fernando Bezerra, head of the government’s parliamentary bloc in the senate, told the Uol website.
The report was originally due to be presented on Tuesday but had to be put back 24 hours, eliciting criticism from Brazilian media, which have already started leaking details.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1—&client=ca-pub-2427099653703778&output=html&h=300&adk=2141876619&adf=3366938152&pi=t.aa~a.1834861711~i.35~rp.4&w=360&lmt=1634749331&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4779063894&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2021%2F10%2Fpresident-jair-bolsonaro-should-be-charged-with-crimes-against-humanity-over-the-deaths-of-600000-people-during-the-covid-crisis-brazilian-senate-2.html&flash=0&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=275&rw=330&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8Py-iwYQw7KGurH_krKFARJIABivHId23QvRJEI5NIe14vxuShjgDcXqcq3bopZWw6u6Zmax0LgmQExD45YAZVcouZ7yI2Ub_uUwNhOBt–aYzOFNXDpzb0-&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOSIsIiIsIkluZmluaXggWDY1MEIiLCI5Mi4wLjQ1MTUuMTE1IixbXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbF0.&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hdHRlc3RhdGlvbi5hbmRyb2lkLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjo3fV0.&dt=1634749330466&bpp=29&bdt=16119&idt=-M&shv=r20211018&mjsv=m202110130101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6f62d75ac2f0c0c6-2251d019a8c80035%3AT%3D1622665487%3ART%3D1622665487%3AS%3DALNI_MZ85Ep3SvTaGfc8Juk8Onrd6Hwi6g&prev_fmts=0x0%2C360x300%2C360x300&nras=4&correlator=5991319187031&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1187515804.1622665486&ga_sid=1634749320&ga_hid=883015689&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=5&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&adx=0&ady=2455&biw=360&bih=616&scr_x=0&scr_y=1309&eid=31062423%2C31062525%2C21067496&oid=2&pvsid=3383525879372928&pem=777&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C720%2C360%2C720&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=1152&bc=31&jar=2021-10-20-02&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=X2VrUse1cU&p=https%3A//www.lindaikejisblog.com&dtd=1348
Following testimony from several ministers, top government officials, and business and hospital managers, it was the turn of the families of Covid victims to present their statements to the committee on Monday.
‘We deserve an apology from the highest authority in the state. It’s not a question of politics, we’re talking about lives,’ Marcio Antonio Silva, a taxi driver who lost his 25-year-old son to Covid, told the panel, holding back tears.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1—&client=ca-pub-2427099653703778&output=html&h=300&adk=2141876619&adf=965097895&pi=t.aa~a.1834861711~i.43~rp.4&w=360&lmt=1634749331&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4779063894&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2021%2F10%2Fpresident-jair-bolsonaro-should-be-charged-with-crimes-against-humanity-over-the-deaths-of-600000-people-during-the-covid-crisis-brazilian-senate-2.html&flash=0&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=275&rw=330&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8Py-iwYQw7KGurH_krKFARJIABivHId23QvRJEI5NIe14vxuShjgDcXqcq3bopZWw6u6Zmax0LgmQExD45YAZVcouZ7yI2Ub_uUwNhOBt–aYzOFNXDpzb0-&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOSIsIiIsIkluZmluaXggWDY1MEIiLCI5Mi4wLjQ1MTUuMTE1IixbXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbF0.&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hdHRlc3RhdGlvbi5hbmRyb2lkLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjo3fV0.&dt=1634749330466&bpp=29&bdt=16119&idt=-M&shv=r20211018&mjsv=m202110130101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6f62d75ac2f0c0c6-2251d019a8c80035%3AT%3D1622665487%3ART%3D1622665487%3AS%3DALNI_MZ85Ep3SvTaGfc8Juk8Onrd6Hwi6g&prev_fmts=0x0%2C360x300%2C360x300%2C360x300&nras=5&correlator=5991319187031&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1187515804.1622665486&ga_sid=1634749320&ga_hid=883015689&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=5&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&adx=0&ady=3068&biw=360&bih=616&scr_x=0&scr_y=1309&eid=31062423%2C31062525%2C21067496&oid=2&pvsid=3383525879372928&pem=777&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C720%2C360%2C720&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=1152&bc=31&jar=2021-10-20-02&ifi=5&uci=a!5&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=VYaQaoU53F&p=https%3A//www.lindaikejisblog.com&dtd=1391
‘What we’ve seen is the antithesis of what we expected from the president of the republic,’ said Antonio Carlos Costa, president of the Rio de Paz NGO. ‘We’ve never seen him shed tears of compassion, nor express his condolences for the Brazilian people in mourning.’
On Monday, the committee also heard the harrowing testimony of a nurse in Manaus who saw dozens of patients dying and had to take care of her sister’s four children after she also succumbed to the virus.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1—&client=ca-pub-2427099653703778&output=html&h=300&adk=2141876619&adf=1473400494&pi=t.aa~a.1834861711~i.51~rp.4&w=360&lmt=1634749331&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4779063894&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2021%2F10%2Fpresident-jair-bolsonaro-should-be-charged-with-crimes-against-humanity-over-the-deaths-of-600000-people-during-the-covid-crisis-brazilian-senate-2.html&flash=0&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=275&rw=330&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8Py-iwYQw7KGurH_krKFARJIABivHId23QvRJEI5NIe14vxuShjgDcXqcq3bopZWw6u6Zmax0LgmQExD45YAZVcouZ7yI2Ub_uUwNhOBt–aYzOFNXDpzb0-&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOSIsIiIsIkluZmluaXggWDY1MEIiLCI5Mi4wLjQ1MTUuMTE1IixbXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbF0.&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hdHRlc3RhdGlvbi5hbmRyb2lkLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjo3fV0.&dt=1634749330466&bpp=22&bdt=16119&idt=-M&shv=r20211018&mjsv=m202110130101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6f62d75ac2f0c0c6-2251d019a8c80035%3AT%3D1622665487%3ART%3D1622665487%3AS%3DALNI_MZ85Ep3SvTaGfc8Juk8Onrd6Hwi6g&prev_fmts=0x0%2C360x300%2C360x300%2C360x300%2C360x300&nras=6&correlator=5991319187031&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1187515804.1622665486&ga_sid=1634749320&ga_hid=883015689&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=5&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&adx=0&ady=3702&biw=360&bih=616&scr_x=0&scr_y=1309&eid=31062423%2C31062525%2C21067496&oid=2&pvsid=3383525879372928&pem=777&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C720%2C360%2C720&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=1152&bc=31&jar=2021-10-20-02&ifi=6&uci=a!6&btvi=3&fsb=1&xpc=UegYjbX197&p=https%3A//www.lindaikejisblog.com&dtd=1438
The committee investigated the government over the crippling lack of oxygen in the northern city of Manaus during the worst moments of the pandemic, and also the delays in buying vaccines, Bolsonaro’s anti-lockdown speeches, and his original belittling of what he called a ‘little flu.’
Another branch of the investigation focused on the relationship between Brasilia and private health insurers accused of promoting ‘early treatment’ with medications such as hydroxychloroquine, which has been scientifically proven to be ineffective.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1—&client=ca-pub-2427099653703778&output=html&h=300&adk=2141876619&adf=2880600960&pi=t.aa~a.1834861711~i.59~rp.4&w=360&lmt=1634749331&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4779063894&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2021%2F10%2Fpresident-jair-bolsonaro-should-be-charged-with-crimes-against-humanity-over-the-deaths-of-600000-people-during-the-covid-crisis-brazilian-senate-2.html&flash=0&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=275&rw=330&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8Py-iwYQw7KGurH_krKFARJIABivHId23QvRJEI5NIe14vxuShjgDcXqcq3bopZWw6u6Zmax0LgmQExD45YAZVcouZ7yI2Ub_uUwNhOBt–aYzOFNXDpzb0-&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOSIsIiIsIkluZmluaXggWDY1MEIiLCI5Mi4wLjQ1MTUuMTE1IixbXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbF0.&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hdHRlc3RhdGlvbi5hbmRyb2lkLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjo3fV0.&dt=1634749330466&bpp=17&bdt=16119&idt=17&shv=r20211018&mjsv=m202110130101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6f62d75ac2f0c0c6-2251d019a8c80035%3AT%3D1622665487%3ART%3D1622665487%3AS%3DALNI_MZ85Ep3SvTaGfc8Juk8Onrd6Hwi6g&prev_fmts=0x0%2C360x300%2C360x300%2C360x300%2C360x300%2C360x300&nras=7&correlator=5991319187031&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1187515804.1622665486&ga_sid=1634749320&ga_hid=883015689&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=5&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&adx=0&ady=4357&biw=360&bih=616&scr_x=0&scr_y=1309&eid=31062423%2C31062525%2C21067496&oid=2&pvsid=3383525879372928&pem=777&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C720%2C360%2C720&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=1152&bc=31&jar=2021-10-20-02&ifi=7&uci=a!7&btvi=4&fsb=1&xpc=df2LLB50Hu&p=https%3A//www.lindaikejisblog.com&dtd=1491
One of those insurers, Prevent Senior, is accused of having carried out such treatment on patients without their prior knowledge, and to have put pressure on doctors to prescribe it for ‘human guinea pigs.’
‘The committee report clearly aims to result in the sanctioning of those responsible, and there are a lot. We cannot allow ourselves to not punish them,’ Omar Aziz, the committee’s president, said on Tuesday.
