Without offering evidence, President Jair Bolsonaro said most Brazilians don’t want to be vaccinated, even as the country nears 200,000 Covid-19 deaths.
“As far as I know, less than half would be willing to take the vaccine,” the far-right leader told crowds outside his official residence Thursday. “This is from a poll I’ve taken. I’ve taken it in the street, the beach,” he added.
