INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
6 bills in Congress criminalize whatever from cutting in line to receive a vaccine to people who spread out phony news about how vaccines
work.Authored by Senator Angelo Coronel (PSD), PL 5555/2020 foresees the addition in the Criminal Code of imprisonment for one to three
years for individuals who leave out or oppose the compulsory vaccination of kids or adolescents in a public health emergency
The job also criminalizes, with a penalty of two to eight years in jail, individuals who decline to take the necessary dosages of
vaccines.The exact same penalty also applies to those who spread false news about the vaccines or how they work.Bills provide for
imprisonment for those who doubt vaccines in Brazil
(Photo internet reproduction)If the individual is a public worker, the charge is doubled.The PL had its treatments upgraded in December 2022
At the time, it went through the Legislative Secretariat of the Federal Senate and had its connection confirmed.The proposition was gone
over again on social networks this month when the Senate website conducted a survey about the bill
TThe proposition was rejected by 92% of the people who responded to the questions.In April 2021, the senator asked for that his proposition
be dealt with as PL 25/2021 by congressman Fernando Rodolfo (PL/PE)
Rodolfos proposal criminalizes cutting in line during vaccination with a penalty of two to five years and a fine.In addition, the deputy
frames the detour of medical products as a criminal offense, with 5 to 15 years in jail
The offense is intensified if dedicated by a public employee.Angelos demand was granted, and both propositions are being processed
together.In May of last year, four other expenses were joined to the proceedings: 13, 15, 505, and 1140, all from 2021
The first 2 also want to criminalize queuing up for vaccination.The last two, on the other hand, criminalize the application of an incorrect
dosage of vaccine or the simulation of its application.1140 was proposed by Senator Ciro Nogueira (PP), former Minister of the Civil House.
