Brazil's botched response to Covid-19 leaves population at risk

[gabosaurus]

Brazil's de facto dictator, Jair Bolsonaro, never acknowledged Covid-19 as a problem. Now he is rebuking the vaccine. As a country that seen over 200,000 deaths continues to suffer. ---------------> https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/31/brazil-coronavirus-vaccine-jair-bolsonaro

1) The USA COVID-related death count is 351K. It's COVID related because a heart attack death that happened to be infected is counted as a "COVID" death.
2) Brazil' s new infection rate has been on a decline
3) Brazilians who want the COVID vaccine can get it through private clinics
4) Some cities have reached herd immunity with cities like Manaus having a 76% infection rate
5) Mexico has proven that restrictions won't be complied with if they cause too much hardship.

It sucks when the facts don't match the narrative, doesn't it?

There have been 196,018 deaths reported (some say this is way too low), second only to the U.S. Brazilian media, even those that support Bolsonaro, state that no vaccine is currently available. That is primarily due to Bolsonaro having stated opposition and declaring that he will not take it. Bolsonaro denies dawdling. “I’m not bothered,” he said on Saturday, later claiming he was “in a hurry to obtain a safe, efficient and quality vaccine”. Bolsonaro is a worse leader than Trump.

Bolsonaro is a worse leader than Trump.

The majority of world leaders are worse than Trump, especially Biden.
