This article is also instructive how reporters twist a translation to make a hit piece.


Bolsonaro then went on to slam American drug company Pfizer and its vaccine. The company exempted itself from liability in case of side effects of the vaccine – which Bolsonaro said rhetorically could turn someone into an alligator and they wouldn’t be liable.

"And another thing that has to be made very clear," Bolsonaro charged. "There in the Pfizer contract, it is very clear that we (Pfizer) are not responsible for any side effect. If you become an alligator, it is your problem. … And what is worse, tampering with people’s immune systems."

I believe overall that all 3 vaccines out thus far will have a positive success rate. But of course all of the reactions will be magnified and overstated.

But people - as in we - need to know of ALL of these events. And see if they can find a reason or rhyme as to why some people would be having harsh reactions. Are certain groups at a higher risk for reactions? I just want to be fully informed before I get injected.

And what about sick folks? Especially if it's the elderly or someone else at more of a risk than others? Will this help at all if already sick? Will it make things worse for the moment? Seems many, even without a harsh instant reaction, have felt awful the next day. You sure don't want to make things worse for the already sick. And folks in ICU and such?

And if not truly for these people - what about other medications and cocktails, like the stuff that got Trump out of danger and out of the hospital so quickly? Remdesivir, Dexamethasone, Regeneron?

Bolsonaro is a dictator who believes he is smarter than doctors and scientists. Wonder where he got that from? https://www.scmp.com/news/world/americas/article/3113800/coronavirus-brazils-jair-bolsonaro-slammed-murderous-stupidity
