countries such as People's Republic Of China and the United States of America must donate to undeveloped countries if they want to end the pandemic quickly". US agrees, and so does Brazil. Although, at first, Brazil is apparently willing to be working together with the major world powers, China doesn't seem to be on the same page.

England is the first country to seek taking actions instead of just sticking to speech and guesswork. The delegation offered help to countries in need like Brazil, Argentina, and India that have been demonstrating insufficiency in administering medical care. In contrast, New Zealand refuses to help Brazil. The delegation attacks the country claiming that it does not trust its representatives as they waste financial resources that could be vital to save lives, using ineffective and scientifically unproven drugs such as Chloroquine, to eradicate viruses from the territory.

USA follows England's lead and now offers help and resources to countries in need in order to accelerate the end of the pandemic. However, they want transparency in how countries receiving support are progressing, otherwise they will take the help back. In response, delegations from Argentina, Iran and South Africa accept international contributions from the North American country and admit the strong need for it. By putting the pride aside and admiting being unable to cope with the pandemic on their own, the countries proved how committed they are on solving the coronavirus issue as soon as possible.

Apparently, the Brazilian delegation changed its stance regarding coronavirus vaccination in the second day of debate, outraging the other present countries. Just yesterday, Brazil’s representative claimed to be in favor of immunization after the doses were authorized by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). However, unlike before, it disagreed with China and the United States at the moment they've claimed to be in favor of mandatory vaccination worldwide.

The government affirms that it does not know what the reactions to the vaccine could possibly be, and that is the reason why it doesn’t encourage the campaign. It was decided then that vaccines would not be applied in the country until further research, in order not to erradicate a problem by creating a new one.

In addition, Brazil delegation says is not willing to risk the health of the population and future generations by forcing quarantine and the wear of masks, since it will not only mobilize everyone's lives while the economy and families dependent on monthly income will be harmed, but also might cause respiratory harms.

“Our population is going to the streets to demonstrate for the return of normal daily life, and the main objective of the Brazilian delegation is to meet the needs of its people. We are aware the internal social and economic issues cannot be solved overnight, but lives can be saved if the country reopens commercial life. They will not die of covid, but they will die of hunger and cold.”, ends Brazil.

This statement makes us wonder: Is it an act of genuine worry towards brazilian's future, or is it an act with genocidal connotation towards the national population?

China counter-bounce. After Brazil’s speech, the country replies that it makes no sense to encourage the end of distancing since the virus

will not be eradicated overnight as Brazil appears to claim. Although vaccination is being put into practice, it has not yet become accessible to everyone's reach. “You can't just put everything under the rug and pretend nothing happened. You can't just go back to normal”, says China delegation to Brazil.

Lastly, China criticizes the Brazil's stance by saying that there were few deaths compared to the total percentage of the population. The Chinese delegation accuses the country of seeking to reduce the seriousness of the situation and not wanting to be held responsible for the mismanagement of Covid-19.

If the country does not take immediate action on vaccination, England already affirmed it will withdraw all the resources offered to them. While that, Argentina announced cut off relations and the close of its borders with the neighbour. It also said it can easily find other countries to export and create ties, and as a way to encourage the delegation to really follow through this decision, China offered financial support to keep the Argentine economy stable.

Iran, United States, New Zealand and Chinese powers agreed with the latin country. They will not only cut off relations, but also not send any finnacial aid to solve covid issues in the territory. What does this represent for the future of Brazil?

In the fourth debate session of the Assembly, (8/27) around 2:30 p.m., the countries discussed one last time about the vaccines and the finnancial support developed countries would give to those in need. Withal, they were also pressuring Brazil to accept their terms, otherwise all countries would completely cut relations with them.

Right after the USA hinted Brazil is not in the position of suggesting solutions and methods to deal with the virus, since it is against the main

one, the country in question pronouced itself.

The Brazil delegation apologizes to those present and agreed to join the other countries in this fight against the coronavirus. Besides, the use of masks and social distancing will return to be mandatory in the country, in order to avoid covid-19 spread. The delegation recalls the importance and dependence of tourism to the territory, in addition to answering the question raised by China that it will no longer sustain the use of Chloroquine as a form of treatment for the virus. From now on, they will encourage the vaccination against the coronavirus.

Brazil ends its pronouncement by saying that even after the pandemic is over, the government will look more carefully towards health systems and intern issues of lack of infrastructure in the country.
