Not anymore, now that Bolsonaro has fired two (!) health ministers and put a worthless yes-man in charge.

And we thought it was bad enough when he fired the first health minister to put a yes-man in his place. It turned out that the first yes-man wasn't spineless enough for Bolsonaro so he also got fired.

Wait, when did he put somebody in charge? I though the position was empty.

Gen. Pazuello, who has been in charge since Teich resigned, has now been officially elevated to "interim minister". It isn't supposed to be a permanent position though so it would also be valid to say that the position is still vacant.
