Rui Barbosa, writer, jurist and politician, said this about the smallpox vaccine:“...the recklessness, violence, tyranny that he ventures into has no name in the category of crimes of power (... ) with the introduction, in my blood, of a virus under whose influence there are the most well-founded fears that it is a conductor of illness or death.”

Question 08 - FUVEST 2003 - 1st phase - “It is not by chance that the Brazilian authorities receive unanimous applause from the international authorities of the great powers, for the implacable and effective energy of their sanitizing policy [...].

It was just a scream, a convulsion of pain, a vertigo of horror and indignation. How far can a man stand to be trampled on, despised, and frightened? How much suffering does it take for a man to dare to face death without fear? And when the audacity reaches that point, he is able to sense the presence of the power that afflicts him in its smallest signs:in electric light, in elegant gardens, in statues, in crystal windows, in decorated park benches, in public clocks, in trams, on cars, on marble facades, in police stations, post offices and vaccination posts, on uniforms, in ministries and on signposts.”
