BRASILIA:
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stated on Thursday evening that he will not take a coronavirus vaccine, the most recent in a series of statements he has produced expressing skepticism toward coronavirus vaccination applications.
In statements broadcast reside more than a number of social media platforms, the suitable-wing leader added that Congress was unlikely to demand Brazilians to take a vaccine.
Brazil has the second-highest quantity of coronavirus deaths in the planet, and Bolsonaro has for months played down the seriousness of the pandemic in spite of getting infected with the virus in July.
“I’m telling you, I’m not going to take it. It’s my right,” he stated.
Bolsonaro also expressed skepticism more than the effectiveness of mask-wearing in the broadcast, implying there was tiny conclusive proof of the effectiveness of masks in stemming the transmission of the virus.
The president has repeatedly stated Brazilians will not be needed to be vaccinated when a coronavirus vaccine becomes extensively offered. In October, he joked on Twitter that vaccination would be needed only for his dog.
