Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro warned fellow citizens about the risks of vaccination against COVID-19, saying that after vaccination you can “become an alligator or Superman.” His words are quoted by the Internet edition UOL.
The Brazilian leader noted that he would not be vaccinated against coronavirus, because he had already been ill and developed antibodies. He also criticized the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer for disclaiming responsibility for collateral effects caused by the vaccine.
“The Pfizer contract is very clear:” Our company is not responsible for any side effects. “If you become an alligator, that is your problem. If you become Superman, if a woman grows a beard and a man will speak in a thin voice – they have nothing to do with it. And even worse, this vaccine spoils people’s immune systems, “Bolsonaro said.
Earlier, the Supreme Court of Brazil allowed to punish people for refusing to be vaccinated against coronavirus. Those who refuse vaccination may be barred from visiting public places or certain activities. At the same time, the court emphasized that no one would be forcibly vaccinated. Vaccination without the person’s consent was considered a violation of the constitution.
