SOUND BITES:Antonieta Alves, volunteer:"This act represents a large part of the pain of each of these families and our outrage at the government's contempt for these victims, because today 600,000 have been trivialized. 600,000 no longer means anything, you know? It's as if we hadn't started to die. The government does not take things into consideration and the people trivialize these 600 thousand. The families that lost their relatives and friends felt it. We feel that each one of these exceeds 600 thousand. "Carla Marcia Davi, volunteer:"We could have a health (policy) that would reduce deaths in the country, but unfortunately our government is negligent, it does not contribute with vaccines, to our public health. We are in a very difficult moment in our country, of mourning, abandonment and total poverty. "
