Currently in Brazil, the following vaccines are authorized for use: AstraZeneca/Oxford, Pfizer/BioNTech, Coronavac (also called Sinovac), J&J/Janssen, and Butanvac.
The report was published on uol.com.br, which reportedly has about the same number of pageviews as CNN.com, according to data from SimilarWeb. It is so big, that ICANN has given its own domain: .uol.
Despite these high amounts of deaths following vaccination, the report states:
“Vaccination is still the best way to control the disease.”
On Friday (10th of September 2021 ) Brazil reported 672 new deaths from Covid-19, bringing the total number of fatalities from the disease in the country to 585,846, the Health Ministry said.
There were also 15,930 new coronavirus cases, with the total number of infections in the country advancing to 20,974,829, the folder added.
The federal government still reports 372,843 Covid-19 patients in follow-up.
Brazil’s federal health regulator said that documents provided by a Sao Paulo biomedical center attesting to the safety of over 12 million doses of the Coronavac Covid-19 vaccine were insufficient to ensure their safety. The regulator, known as Anvisa, suspended the use of millions of doses of the vaccine developed by China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd, as they were produced in a plant that had not been authorized by the authority.
Anvisa said in a statement at the time that it was alerted by the Butantan biomedical institute, which has partnered with Sinovac to locally fill and finish the vaccines that roughly 12.1 million doses sent to Brazil had been made at the plant. Anvisa said that Butantan had delivered a number of documents to the health authority at a Tuesday meeting, but did not submit a key inspection report.
The health authority is also in the process of arranging a visit by Brazilian inspectors to the plant in question in China, it added. Anvisa said it hoped to gain a quarantine exemption for its inspectors, given that they are all vaccinated. (Source: Reuters)
But even these cases of deaths following COVID-19 injections might be under-reported, as the country’s state news agency reported in July that in the small state of Distrito Federal, at least 711 died after taking the first experimental vaccine, while another 263 people died after taking two doses of the experimental vaccines.

Brazil’s state news agency reports:
Vaccination does not prevent re-infection or the evolution to more serious conditions, including death. Therefore, the Health Secretary stressed the importance of keeping the prevention measures against the new coronavirus.
“We are always alerting people to wear masks, wash their hands, use alcohol gel, and avoid crowds. Even if we are vaccinated, we can acquire the virus and have complications”, he declared. (Source.)
