These people didn't need healthcare until the extractive exploitation of their resources started. The have no natural herd immunity to disease or any traditional medicines to treat western diseases

Yeah sorry, but if we dressed up like natives and we're armed with bows and arrows,
here would start shooting us because they were afraid.

. Sorry -
Indigenous people, Black & afro-descendent people, LGBT activists and campesinos face extraordinarily high murder rates in Brazil, and crimes have been frequently linked to pro-Temer and now pro-Bolsonaro individuals acting on behalf of the country's oligarchy/land-owning class.
