Anvisa refused Sputnik V because the version presented to Anvisa differs from the one presented in Lancet: https://brazilian.report/liveb...

Anvisa has a strong scientific background and reliable history to be not influenced by political pressure.

If you think we need a registry, you don't really "believe in the science".

Sure. Because FB employees are such an oppressed underclass that they can be bullied by an employer.

Here in Brazil, after our FDA equivalent approved the studies about CoronaVac at the beginning of 2021, and due this, it was the first vaccine we started to produce in mass against the Corona virus. My father has more than 70, a hearth disease and diabetes. One month after the second shot, he got the virus. He felt some body pain for 2 days, and during 3 days, a bit of difficulty to breath. But he recovered well and was not even required to go to the hospital. More important: he is alive! Same with my uncle, older than him. My stepmother, around 55 has not the same luck: she still didn't receive the vaccine and gone to the hospital for 3 weeks, received oxygen, and now she is back to home, alive, thankfully, with some minor sequels.

So, of course, if I could choose, I would pick Pfizer or any one with higher efficiency for my father. But even "ok" vaccines like CoronaVac are better than no vaccine in poor countries like here.

That means that your freedom of speech is limited to technologies available in 1783.

There are guys like Mandela in the Knesset.

Genocide liquidates entire families wholesale. What's going on in Judea, Samaria and Gaza don't even come close.

FB is ideologically aligned with the pro-palestinian crowd. The idea that they would be censoring those people is typical unhinged conspiracy nonsense.

Your "source" is utter garbage.

ANVISA is suffering a lot of pressure from politicians and, in some cases, companies that are expecting to make big money. But they're clearly inspecting all incoming vaccines with scientific approach. For all current allowed vaccines here, they spent a reasonable time deeply investigating, verifying scientific papers with studies and visting the manufacturer site.

So far, ANVISA approved Pfizer, Oxford and Sinovac.

The pro-Bolsonaro group is pressuring ANVISA to give the green for the India one, Covaxin, but ANVISA said it has flaws.

The extreme leftists are pressuring ANVISA to give the green for the Sputnik one, including an giant Russian investor group.

A lot of the politicians even tried to approve laws to force ANVISA to give the green if any "big" country has approved a vaccine. Let's see how far ANVISA can resist to our stupid politicians.

Why trust any of them?
Why trust some rando from the ether that you don't know?

Any of them could be equally bogus.

This goes for people on either side of the narrative.
