This article by CNN news goes over how Brazil has been fighting Covid-19. The president of Brzil Jair Bolsonaro has been using the drugs of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to fight the global pandemic even though research says they are not effective against the virus. The presdient even went so far to use emergency funds to get more of these drugs instead of purchasing a vaccine in the final stages of development. Just now Brazil is finally buying into a vaccine, but have only purchased 6.6 million which is 2.2 percent of the Brazil population. It will be interesting to see overtime if the effects of the chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine drugs help Brazil get past the covid-19 pandemic faster than other countries. Or will it all just be a futile moment in Brazil history which they will pay the price for down the line.
