The Brazilian Ministry of Health used a video featuring presenter Cariúcha to rebut criticism of the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) made by influencer Jojo Todynho. Todynho had criticized the hypocrisy of those who defend the SUS while also using it. Cariúcha's video emphasized the widespread use and necessity of the SUS.
Separately, Minister Alexandre Padilha used a picture of former President Jair Bolsonaro being placed in an ambulance to praise the SAMU emergency service, created during Lula's first term. This post followed news of Bolsonaro's hospitalization due to complications from a previous stabbing. Padilha's post highlighted the SAMU's nationwide accessibility and function within the SUS.
The Ministry's response to Todynho included using her own catchphrase, "Que tiro foi esse?" in a social media post. The post's caption playfully countered Todynho's claims, emphasizing the SUS's essential nature and widespread use. Padilha's post about Bolsonaro's use of SAMU also generated comments from his followers.
