The Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights, led by Damares Alves, blocked the receipt of anti-vaccination complaints in the channels of contact with the population.
The information is contained in a note sent to Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, of the STF (Supreme Federal Court). According to the folder, “no complaints related to the restriction of the exercise of activities or the restriction of access to places due to non-vaccination for Covid-19 are being registered”.
He also said that the complaints registered before the court notification and which had not been forwarded had their “treatment suspended by court decision”. He did not specify, however, the number of occurrences that are in this condition.
​Lewandowski, rapporteur for actions proposed by opposition parties that question aspects of the federal government’s immunization policy, determined on the 14th that the federal government channel for complaints of human rights violations should cease to be used for complaints against the requirement of proof of immunization.
report of sheet published on the 27th of last month revealed the existence of a technical note prepared by the Damares Alves portfolio that attacked the vaccination passport. The document also criticized the mandatory immunization of children.
The ministry, in the note, made Dial 100 available to anti-vaccinations. To the report, the folder confirmed that complaints have reached the channel.
According to members of the National Human Rights Ombudsman, Dial 100 had been receiving a significant number of complaints.
Dial 100 is the main channel for complaints of human rights violations of children, women, the elderly, people with disabilities and the LGBTQIA+ population.
Some measures were adopted by the ministry to adapt to the restrictions imposed by Lewandowski.
On Dial 100 or Ligue 180, the message was inserted: “Due to the need to comply with the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, we are unable to receive any complaints related to the restriction of the exercise of activities or the restriction of access to places due to non-vaccination for Covid-19”. THE sheet called both phones and listened to the recording.
If the user waits for human assistance and insists on registering the complaint, the folder also informed, the attendant was instructed to say the same sentence.
The same statement was scheduled as a response if the ministry is contacted by WhatsApp apps or Telegram, according to information provided to Lewandowski.
It will also be the message if the citizen or citizen seeks the National Human Rights Ombudsman by email, in addition to being inserted on the body’s website. “Such a procedure is not immediate, which is why it is still in the implementation phase,” she said.
Despite the initiative to offer the complaint service, the ministry said that it is not against any vaccination campaign, but “in favor of promoting the free consent and autonomy of citizens from due access to information”.
He again defended that the requirement to present a vaccine certificate can, in theory, result in a violation of human and fundamental rights.
“It is good for the public power to act to promote access to information so that each capable citizen, in the exercise of their autonomy and, when it is the case of children and adolescents, of the family power, is able to decide freely and clarified, seeking reasonable means to continue the fight against the pandemic for the achievement of the common good”, he said.
