在巴西城市马瑙斯，由于新型冠状病毒变种激增，医院第二次出现故障。由于氧气供应不足，医生们无法为病人提供氧气。新闻报道显示，卫生专业人员正在使用自己的车辆运送病人，因为当地人求助于黑市以获得氧气罐。巴西空军开始从圣保罗州运送物资，并一度计划在获得紧急氧气之前撤离保育箱中的61名早产儿。然而，尽管COVID-19对巴西人构成了明显的威胁，但卫生专家越来越担心让人们接种总统Jair Bolsonaro经常抨击的疫苗。"让总统破坏科学是令人沮丧和失望的，但更重要的是，人们正因此而死亡，"佩尔蒂埃联邦大学的流行病学家佩德罗·库里·哈拉尔说，他今年早些时候通过推特被博尔索纳罗侮辱，部分原因是他批评政府对危机的管理不善。Hallal还致力于EPICOVID，这是一项关于COVID-19的全国性调查，在其调查结果激怒官员后，去年7月失去了政府资金。
In the Brazilian city of Manaus, hospitals have been failing for a second time under the strain of a surging new coronavirus variant. With oxygen supplies running low, doctors have been unable to ventilate patients. News reports revealed that health professionals were using their own vehicles to move patients around, as locals resorted to the black market to secure oxygen tanks. Brazil's Air Force began sorties with supplies from São Paulo state, and at one point planned to evacuate 61 premature babies in incubators before emergency oxygen was procured. Yet despite the clear threat of COVID-19 to Brazilians, health experts are becoming increasingly worried about getting people to take a vaccine that President Jair Bolsonaro regularly lambasts.“It is frustrating and disappointing to have a president undermine science, but much more than that, people are dying because of it”, said Pedro Curi Hallal, an epidemiologist at the Federal University of Pelotas, who was insulted via tweet by Bolsonaro earlier this year, in part due to his criticism of the government's mismanagement of the crisis. Hallal also works on EPICOVID, a nationwide survey on COVID-19 that lost government funding in July, last year, after its findings angered officials.
