2021 Retrospective: Read our article and learn about some of the events. What were the most memorable events this year in Brazil?
The year 2021 was marked by many important events for our country. Certainly, it's difficult to say definitively whether it was a good year or not.
That's because we suffered irreparable losses, but also some great achievements.
I've heard many people say that 2021 was one of the best years of their lives, but there were also people who claimed it was one of the worst years.
However, everyone agrees on one point: 2021 was a year of great struggle, especially for us Brazilians.
But the good news is that we have a whole new year for changes, learning, and achievements.
Before saying our final goodbyes to 2021, how about remembering 5 events that marked the country this year?
So, stay with us and check out our 2021 retrospective!
1. Health – COVID-19 Vaccination
One of the most important events of the year occurred in January. On the 17th, Brazil began vaccinating its population against COVID-19.
At that point, 210,000 people had already died from the disease, and we were eagerly awaiting the start of vaccinations.
The first vaccine to be administered was CoronaVac, imported by the Butantan Institute.
The vaccine has rekindled hope in the hearts of thousands of Brazilians and brought us some comfort amidst so much chaos.
Hope that our lives would gradually return to something close to normal, but it would return, and hope in knowing that the loss of loved ones would lessen.
Without a doubt, this event could not be left out of our 2021 retrospective.
2. Entertainment – BBB 2021
Regardless of your opinion about the program, we have to agree that this edition did indeed mark the year 2021.
To give you an idea, Juliete, the current winner, was one of the most searched women on Google this year.
Even those who didn't follow this edition saw memes and posts about it, and even drew conclusions based solely on that information, right?
3. Police Officer – Lázaro Barbosa
Guys, what was that?
Lázaro Barbosa was a serial killer responsible for the brutal murder of four members of the same family in the Federal District.
However, what shocked the population the most was the effort it took to capture him; it took about 20 days of pursuit until the individual was captured and killed.
The case made such an impact on the country that the criminal even became a meme and gained sympathizers.
Unfortunately, the coldness shown by a large part of the Brazilian population towards the case was also frightening, because innocent lives and grieving families were involved in this story.
This is another case that marked our year, which is why it was chosen to be part of our 2021 retrospective.
4. Sport – Olympics
The 2020 Summer Olympics took place in June and August. The Olympic Games were like an oasis in the desert.
That's because, amidst the many difficulties faced by Brazilians, we end up uniting to cheer for our athletes.
Each achievement made our hearts vibrate and rekindled the flame of hope.
5. World of Music – Marília Mendonça
On November 5th, Brazil was hit with news that shook the entire nation.
The singer then died. Marília Mendonça in a plane crash with 4 other people.
Without a doubt, an irreparable loss, of a unique and irreplaceable human being. A voice and a talent that will never be equaled.
Around the same time, the name Marília Mendonça was the most searched on... Google, And it's no coincidence. The Queen of Suffering marked a generation and will forever remain in our memory.
