Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio again criticized Bolsonaro for not getting vaccinated.
During a live broadcast on social media, the far-right leader returned to question the effectiveness of vaccines, in particular the CoronaVac, commenting on the case of his health minister, Marcelo Queiroga,tested positive for Covid despite having received two doses of the Chinese vaccine.
"Look at Queiroga: he received the two doses of CoronaVac and he is infected, even though he always wore a mask", stressed the President of the Republic.
"Many studies say that those who contracted the virus and are naturally cured are better immunized than those who got vaccinated. Compare my case with Queiroga's and you do, knowing, of course, that it's just a case," concluded Bolsonaro. .
