Brazilian president accused of “lethal incompetence” over lack of vaccine planning

Brasilia, December 15 (RHC)-- In Brazil, critics are accusing far-right President Jair Bolsonaro of “lethal incompetence” after his administration failed to prepare for a mass vaccination program.  

Bolsonaro -- who has called COVID-19 a “little flu” and has used homophobic slurs to mock face masks -- shunned Pfizer’s offer to sell its vaccine to Brazil and has pinned all his hopes on the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.  Bolsonaro also rejected China’s Sinovac vaccine, which has been promoted by São Paulo’s governor, who’s seen as a likely challenger to Bolsonaro’s reelection campaign in 2022.
