Ministry of Health wants to punish doctors opposed to vaccines

Minister Nísia Trindade, of Health, said that the ministry intends to punish doctors and other people who adopt speeches contrary to vaccination, in addition to the measures already provided for in the so-called fake news PL. According to her, there is an interministerial action and with the Federal Council of Medicine to deal with the matter.

“Criminal conduct by doctors and other people will have to be punished, people who go to the networks to talk absurdities, that people will die if they take the vaccine or have any sequelae. I had a meeting with the Federal Council of Medicine, which made itself available to support us in a pro-vaccine campaign. There are practices out of context, but there are also criminal practices”, he said in an interview with Folha de São Paulo this Sunday (4).

Still according to the minister, the vaccination system is “disorganized” because of what would be a “campaign against the vaccine”, and that she is organizing a scheme with states and municipalities to speed up the application of doses that are about to expire.
