“In Brazil, many who get the second dose are getting COVID,” said Bolsonaro, to which the WHO head responded by saying the vaccine doesn’t stop the spread of COVID but reduces the risk of serious illness and death.
“In Brazil, many who got the second dose are dying,” Bolsonaro clarified, to which Adhanom responded by saying underlying diseases were to blame.
Bolsonaro then decried his inability to stop mandatory vaccinations for children, to which Adhanom responded by saying the WHO doesn’t support giving the vaccine to children.
The Brazilian President then lamented how whenever he asks questions about the vaccine, he is accused of putting out “fake news.”
“Our hands are tied, the lives of our children are at stake,” said Bolsonaro.
When he asked Adhanom about the origin of COVID-19, Adhanom laughed and said, “We are still studying it.”
Bolsonaro has long been skeptical of the vaccine and COVID-19 lockdown measures.
After arriving for the UN General Assembly in September, he was forced to eat pizza on the sidewalk because he is not vaccinated and therefore banned from indoor dining in New York.
Bolsonaro has repeatedly championed the drug hydroxychloroquine, asserting that, “If hydroxychloroquine hadn’t been politicized, a lot more lives could have been saved.”
The Brazilian President caught coronavirus himself in July 2020, but said he was able to recover quickly thanks to his past as an “athlete” in the army.
He also pointed to hydroxychloroquine as having aided his swift recovery.
The typical ‘Murican knows nothing about vaccine problems here, in the Old Dead Republic, or throughout the world. When informed, they don’t care. ‘Murica is an animated corpse. White ‘Muricans are the dumbest SOBs in the world. ‘Murican POCs, particularly Nogs, are better informed.
