These research had been allegedly carried out between March and April of 2020.
Patients and family members weren't made conscious these medication had been being administered, and Prevent Senior docs had been pressured internally to prescribe and distribute such medication, Morato additionally claimed.

Renan Calheiros why docs prescribed the kits to patients regardless of lack of proof of their effectiveness, Morato mentioned that noncompliant docs confronted "reprisal," "punishments" and even firing.

"Prevent Senior was assured that it might not be inspected by the Ministry of Health or different associated our bodies," she mentioned.
