Brazil’s health minister resigned Friday after less than a month on the job in a sign of continuing upheaval over how the nation should battle the coronavirus pandemic, quitting a day after President Jair Bolsonaro stepped up pressure on him to expand use of the antimalarial drug chloroquine in treating patients.
Dr. Nelson Teich, an oncologist and health care consultant, took the job April 17 faced with the task of aligning the ministry’s actions with the president’s view that Brazil’s economy must not be destroyed by restrictions to control spread of the virus.
Teich’s predecessor, Luiz Henrique Mandetta, also had rejected the use of choloquine, which also had been touted by US President Donald Trump as a treatment.
Officials say more than 13,000 people have died in Brazil from Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, though some experts say the figure is significantly higher due to insufficient testing. The peak of the crisis has yet to hit Latin America’s largest nation, experts say.
Gen. Eduardo Pazuello, who had no health experience until he became the Health Ministry’s No. 2 official in April, will be the interim minister until Bolsonaro chooses a replacement. Brazilian media have said that Teich’s ability to do his job had been weakened by the appointment of dozens of military personnel to jobs in the ministry.
“Life is made up of choices and today I decided to leave,” Teich told journalists in capital Brasilia. He did not explain why he left the job and refused to answer questions.
Teich’s resignation came one day after Bolsonaro told business leaders in a video conference he would ease rules for use of chloroquine to treat people infected with the coronavirus. Teich has frequently called use of the drug “an uncertainty,” and this week warned of its side effects.

No one has “love” for a drug. This shows the media’s deep hatred for Trump and willingness to let people die because of the hate.
This something I don’t get. I am just a web surfer and even I know that the Hcq treatment has to have Zinc and be given early in the course of the disease. Cf Dr. Zelinsky protocol.
The left WANT the fatalities to be catastrophic, if that will reduce Trump vote totals. As a bonus, you have population control!

HCQ + 2 (zinc and antibiotics) are all very low risk, have been used individually for decades and appears to be extremely effective for the Wuhan Flu. So why the jihad against it?
It’s something other than medicine, that’s for sure.
Not only is it the leftist that want high death tolls, Big Pharma does not want a cheap cure for viruses which hydroxychloroquine and zinc is.
I imagine in a malaria filled country like Brazil, HCQ is probably given out like candy
Very true!
