Teachers union and pseudo-left embrace São Paulo government’s herd immunity policy
With São Paulo and all of Brazil facing the threat of a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, right-wing Governor João Doria (PSDB-Brazilian Social Democracy Party) last week announced new measures to lift restrictions on nonessential services. Also planned this week are measures that increase the maximum number of students in classrooms.
Even in the face of this open policy to subordinate human lives to private profits, pseudo-left organizations and the São Paulo state teachers’ union, the APEOESP, have kept a complacent silence about the millionaire governor’s herd immunity policy.
