While our president was cosplaying a soldier and abasing himself in Tierra del Fuego, we had this priceless example of libertarian medicine in Buenos Aires:
"This week, the Buenos Aires City government’s health minister posted photos of himself at a community center in a poor neighborhood, large vats and pans laid out before him. For this, he told his audience, they would need fresh thyme, lemon, vinegar, cloves, and a series of other plants.
He wasn’t swapping chimichurri recipes. It was, allegedly, a homemade mosquito repellent — the city government’s response to a dengue outbreak that has sickened over 134,000 people and killed over 100 in Argentina".

Meanwhile, the mostly AWOL federal health minister resurrected himself for Easter to announce that he's being pressurized by repellent laboratories, vaccine manufacturers, and the caste, of course, to basically do his job;
El ministro de Salud de la Nación sostuvo que trabajan en la planificación de políticas públicas, pero las provincias deben llevar adelante su fase operativa

Presumably the manufacturers of long trousers and long-sleeved shirts have also been exerting pressure on the poor guy:
Mario Russo espera que el problema de la falta de repelentes se resuelva en dos semanas y también se refirió a los cuidados personales para evita ser picado por los mosquitos.

Both he and his sidekick in CABA deserve to be removed from the medical register.
Meanwhile, the free market must be working since a donation of repellent has arrived from Mexico, with more to come:
