Carlos Wizard, the new secretary of the Brazilian Ministry of Health defends the recounts of the number of deaths caused by the new coronavirus; without any scientific evidence, he said the numbers were "fanciful or manipulated"

Carlos Wizard, upon assuming the position of the new secretary of Science, Technology and Strategic Inputs of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, said that he will work to review the numbers of the coronavirus in the country.

Wizard, who is known for having founded a network of English schools in Brazil, has no experience in the health sector (the current interim Minister of Health in Brazil also has no experience in the area, he is a general in the Brazilian army ).

Many fear that Wizard intends to establish a kind of Ministry of Truth in Brazil, dedicated only to "retelling" the more than 34 thousand deaths by COVID-19. It seems like Wizard wants Covid-19 deaths to simply and magically disappear. In addition, billionaire Wizard also advocates the use of chloroquine to prevent COVID-19.

Last night the Ministry of Health of Brazil has stopped releasing a total of confirmed Covid-19 cases & deaths and the government site is "under maintenance" since then. The president Jair Bolsonaro said that the government is adapting itself "for better precision". 

This was viewed as an act of censorship. According to the John Hopkins website, Brazil has 614,941 cases and 34,021 deaths.
