Bolsonaro Confronts WHO Chief: “People Are Dying After The Second Dose”

A new clip has emerged of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro confronting WHO head Tedros Adhanom about COVID-19 restrictions and asking why people are still dying of COVID after the second dose of the vaccine.

The discussion took place during the recent G20 summit of global leaders in Rome.

Challenging Adhanom on vaccine passports, Bolsonaro asserted that, “All over the world, there are people who need to work to feed themselves.”

He added that lockdown measures have destabilized the global economy, warning that if it continues, “the economy will collapse.”

Adhanom said he didn’t want more lockdowns and agreed that the vaccine passport scheme was “discrimination,” but only while vaccine rates in some countries were still low.
