"WHY Brazil does not EUA LL immediately?"
Assuming this is not a rhetorical question:
I certainly agree with your frustration. A more comprehensive answer to your question per Covid is found in the pages of Michael Lewis' new book "The Premonition: A Pandemic Story". My shorter version is based on 20+ years working with federal, state, and local agencies. All agencies have protocols, just like most businesses. In my experience the larger the agency the more they tend to cling to the protocol. Generally speaking stepping too far outside the protocol is dangerous for one's career and potential liability. If one follows protocol and it all goes to hell it's the protocol's fault, not the one following the protocol. If one breaks protocol and it all goes to hell the hell transfers to the protocol breaker.
More to the point, most health agencies have terrible pandemic protocols in part because for serious pandemics the agencies have to act to prevent the pandemic before they know for sure there is a pandemic. Once you know there is a pandemic it's too late. FREX during the history of the 2009 Swine Flu pandemic where aggressive action was taken and nothing happened. The decisionmaker paid the price and, as it turned out, so did the US because it appears to have helped influence our extremely slow and incompetent response to Covid and likely caused hundreds of thousands additional lives that would not have been lost with a much more aggressive response.
The same is likely true for Brazil, India, and others. You spend your career following protocol and a pandemic comes along and you have terrible protocol for the pandemic you are very likely to make very problematic decisions because thinking outside the protocol box is foreign and personally detrimental thinking.
To me and you, especially as CYDY investors, it is easy for us to say "safe drug, efficacious drug, what the hell?" But although some like Woodcock talk outside the box, when it comes to actually doing outside the box most bureaucrats grow feathers, flap their wings, and start laying eggs. Add to that the potential outside influence of competitive money interests and doing the right thing and exposing oneself can be a huge moral dilemma. See "The Wolverines" in Lewis' book.
