Rodrigo Pacheco: For 2026, the slogan is: "Together for health. Support science."
Rodrigo Pacheco: More than a slogan, that call summarizes the critical moment we live in — a moment in which misinformation, fostered above all by uncontrolled social networks, advances over matters related to health; a moment in which skepticism about vaccines resurfaces and in which the politicization of public health threatens achievements built over decades.
The response to all of this is not improvisation; it is science, it is evidence, it is public policy grounded in rigorous knowledge.
Rodrigo Pacheco: I recall a not-too-distant past, when we were facing the COVID-19 pandemic and, through the effort of this National Congress, starting with the approval of Bill No. 534 of 2021, authored by me, we were able to put this into practice.
Rodrigo Pacheco: The vaccine law enabled the purchase of immunizers against the coronavirus and saved thousands of lives.
