The Brazilian authorities have concluded this Thursday that the COVID-19 vaccination card of former President Jair Bolsonaro is false, although the investigations do not indicate who was responsible for this manipulation, within the framework of the investigations into alleged fraud in data from the Ministry of Health. The Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) of Brazil, an agency of the Federal Government responsible for the defense of public assets, transparency and the fight against corruption, has identified “inconsistencies” in the vaccination certificate, since the former president was not present. in Sao Paulo although it has a record against coronavirus dated July 2019 in said city. “The CGU confirmed the impossibility of the registration being carried out through the system maintained by the federal agency. The investigation also aimed to verify the possible participation of a federal public servant in the events due to possible responsibility. Nothing was found in this regard. (…) The conclusion was that it was a fraud against the State COVID-19 Vaccination Registration System,” reads a statement. In addition, this organization has indicated that the vaccine that the then president supposedly took was not available in the area. In addition, the nurse who appears on the vaccination card denied having administered the dose and said that she did not work at the indicated health center at that time. All this has been confirmed by documents. On the other hand, the health center employees interviewed by the CGU denied having seen Bolsonaro the day he supposedly got vaccinated, according to what appears in his card, and they also refused to know of any request made to register the immunization of the then head of Brazilian state. However, the vaccination data was manipulated to allow the entry of Bolsonaro – who has always denied having been vaccinated – into the United States, according to the Federal Police, which is also investigating whether these frauds benefited other relatives of the former president, such as his daughter. 13 years old, and his advisors. Within the framework of the Police operation, in May 2023, among others, the former president’s close advisor, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid Barbosa, was arrested. The CGU has confirmed Cid’s connection with the plan, having been linked to federal and municipal public agents in the case.
