The far-right politician said the contract signed with the pharmaceutical company does not cover the side effects of inoculation, including – and this is the odd part – people who become crocodiles or women who do. beard.
Looks like it would be another normal day at Bolsonaro’s house.
To be fair, he has foresight for this kind of skepticism around the coronavirus. He described it as “a bit of the flu” and said he would not have the vaccine, despite being responsible for the country’s huge vaccination program.
However, these comments are by far the strangest.
On Thursday, Bolsonaro said, “In the Pfizer contract it’s very clear,“ We’re not responsible for the side effects. ”If you become a crocodile, that’s your problem.
“If he becomes superhuman, if a woman starts shaving or if a man starts talking in an effeminate voice, [Pfizer] it will have nothing to do with it. “
The vaccine is currently being tested in Brazil, but has already been approved for use in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
Launching his country’s vaccination campaign, Bolsonaro said it would be free for Brazilians to be vaccinated, but it would not be mandatory.
However, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that while they will not force anyone to get the vaccine, it would be “mandatory.”
This means that people who refuse to receive the puncture can end up with a fine or be banned in certain public spaces.
11 days agoIt remains to be seen whether they will impose these same rules on President Bolsonaro or not.
Brazil has fought throughout the coronavirus pandemic, recording more than 7.1 million cases and about 185,000 deaths for a population of 212 million people.
President Bolsonaro said that once a vaccine is approved by its regulatory body, it will be delivered to the public, not just it.
He explained: “It will be available to anyone who wants it. But I, I will not get vaccinated.”
“Some people say I’m setting a bad example. But to the idiots, to the idiots who say that, I tell them I’ve already caught the virus, that I have the antibodies, and why get vaccinated?”
Bolsonaro had the virus in July and recovered in three weeks. However, it is unclear how long the immunity lasts after having the virus and there have been cases of reinfection.
