Facebook removed a video from its platforms in which Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro linked the administration of Covid vaccines to an increase in HIV cases.
During a live broadcast on the web, the far-right leader read an alleged news report whose text read that “those vaccinated against Covid are developing the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS.
The footage was removed from Facebook and Instagram: "Our policies do not allow claims that Covid vaccines kill or cause serious harm to people," said the Facebook spokesman in Brazil.
The doctor and researcher of the University of Sao Paulo, Daniel Dourado, denied Bolsonaro stating that "there is no possibility that the coronavirus vaccine will cause AIDS. It is necessary to disclose that there is no such possibility".
And the case is also mounting in the judicial and political classrooms, with the Brazilian Supreme Court judge Luis Roberto Barroso who sent a request for an investigation into the “indicted” social network to the Public Prosecutor's Office. At the same time, the rapporteur of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on the pandemic, the opposition senator Renan Calheiros, announced that he will propose the banning of Bolsonaro from social networks in the final report of the Commission that will be voted today and that denounces the far-right leader of various offenses, including that of "crimes against humanity".
