And how's his support like?
Also, I recall reading that this inaction may be a legitimate tactics to kill off the natives who trying to protect parts of amazon from certain destruction.

Around 30% of the population still seems to support him in spite of everything based on recent polls.
Jesus fucking christ....
Per wiki, the next presidential election is still well over a year away. That fucking scum can continue to and perhaps even escalate the amount of damage he is doing in that time.
That is, legitimately, the worst part in all of this. I have no idea when I'll get my shot (even if I'm on a "priority" list for medical reasons), my wife even less so and my dad (who's 74, and has Alzheimer's and some other kinds of comorbidity) is still waiting for his, too - there's just no way I can take him to a vaccination site, since he won't even wear a mask at home.
We're all just toughing it out, hoping to stay alive long enough.
Can't this dirtbag be impeached & removed or anything?
Look at others like Boris Johnson & Donald Trump.
Uh-huh, just like Trump.

I am really sorry to hear that. It Recently, I have both read here and also heard directly from an acquaintance that one person they know each, had contracted (and thankfully survived) COVID in between the doses. So, bottom line is that two doses are the requirement to significantly reduce the chance of contracting COVID. So, there is already a degree of self care involved in between the shots and Bolsonaro and co. are making an already precarious situation far more lethal.
Fuck this PoS and his servile sociopathic sycophants.
One of them is no longer in office, and the other is presiding over one of the world's most protracted lockdowns. Boris changed his tune about COVID, and while Trump never did, he got voted out largely because of his COVID response. Bolsonaro is still in power and still denying even the most basic facts about the pandemic. He's way more damaging than those other two managed to be, on balance.
He can, but he won't because congress doesn't give a shit enough to do so since they still get their bribes.
And today a new coronavirus variant was discovered in Belo Horizonte: a variant that combines eighteen mutations never before described. (Sorry, I don't have an English version of this news)
We'll all gonna die.
We'll all gonna die.
Yeah I think it is the variant spreading in BC and forced the closing of Whistler ski resort
WOAW! I had never seen this. That's one guy you don't want to have in charge of anything.
Right - the P1 variant is literally Bolsonaro's gift to the world and highlights how important a coordinated international effort is, because one asshole can fuck it up for every one.
P1 variant not only is much more infectious and likely causes more severe disease, but seems to be escaping vaccination and natural immunity as well.
The president before him was impeached for much less. Other was in JAIL for much less. Incredible how these fuckers just don't see it.
Yes, but the hope is that the mRNA based vaccine platforms mean Pfizer and Moderna can re-code vaccines in short order to compensate for these mutations (though if we wanted to clinically trial them, that would create major delays).
But that's exactly the point the tweet is making - this variant in particular is going to be devastating to the progress the world has made, and we probably should be treating it as seriously as when COVID first arrived.
I wonder if Brazil's numbers are cooked as much as the US numbers (with states like Florida lowering their Covid deaths by about 1/3 by not categorizing them as such). Probably way more.
And this is why what we should have done in the beginning is stamp out international travel. One of the reasons why the last Global Pandemic the Spanish Flu died out because people could not just travel around the world as easy thus leading to less infections and less mutations. Covid has not only more people it can infect because we have a larger population in 2021 compared to 1919, but more of the world can easily get infected because of ease of travel.
It's useless, even here many people say they're already travelling like the variants aren't a thing (or are only in Brazil/South Africa).
What is it with tough guy morons. They always come across as fucking whining babies shirking all responsibility, but their fans see them as alpha male heroes. Fucking nuts.
No see, a leader of a country only takes credit for GOOD things that happen.
In the Brazilian case, there isn't any good things for him to take credit for
Brazil got 11 new billionaries in the forbes list
He bought most of the senate and congress and a few of the judiciary
Most of the country hates him, but we sadly don't count
Let's not forget.

Brazil’s mismanagement of covid-19 threatens the world
Jair Bolsonaro has a lot to answer for
The best scientific evidence we have about vaccine efficacy on the Brazilian variant is the Johnson & Johnson Phase III trial. It showed similar vaccine efficacy in Brazil vs the US.
Efficacy in Brazil was slightly lower for preventing moderate disease and slightly higher for preventing severe disease, but in both cases the difference was not statistically significant.
And as usual, I should mention it was 100% effective against death for all variants.
You're right and I appreciate the data too. I think the concerns about repeat infection and potential vaccine resistance come out of Manaus in Brazil that had enormous first and second wave infection rates developing huge P1 problems when researchers felt it should have had sufficient population immunity from prior infection to prevent it.The best scientific evidence we have about vaccine efficacy on the Brazilian variant is the Johnson & Johnson Phase III trial.

do we know from the J&J trial whether P1 was prevalent there during the trial?
The worst part is this fucking nothing has millions of followers who do the most vile shit possible like organizing "protests in cars" honking in front of hospitals nonstop because they are a bunch of covid deniers.
My boss is one of those motherfuckers and he says stuff like "it's just 3k people it's nothing" or "i believe more people should die, this is gods way to cleanse the earth from weak people".
Yeap.
Brazil is doomed right now we need a sudden wake up or else the world is fucked too

He's a sociopath and everyone in the world is well aware of it at this point, except for half of the brazilian voters.
I just can't fathom this piece of garbage being reelected after actively working to kill as many people as possible in the pandemics, if that happens I don't know if I can tolerate living here anymore.

I wont be in peace until the name of this piece of shit is in every history book as one of the evilest people to ever govern a state
We already committed the mistake of not talking enough about the military dictatorship in brazilian istory books, it is very important that no one ever forgets what happens when you put such person in power

Nova variante do coronavírus com 18 mutações é detectada em BH e Região Metropolitana
Ela tem mutações que já descritas anteriormente em outras variantes associadas ao aumento do risco de morte dos pacientes.

P.2 would have been the most prevalent in Brazil at that time. If you want to project effectiveness against P.1, it might be better to start with the South African data. P.1 shares almost the same set of spike protein binding domain mutations as B.1.351, and that variant made up 90%+ of cases in South Africa.
Regarding the observations in Manaus, what makes me a little skeptical is the fact that it is all based on projections using antibody levels from blood donors. If there are really thousands of people experiencing reinfections there, it seems like we ought to have a large body of clinically proven reinfections, so I'm wondering why we aren't hearing about that.
Living through this hell on a daily basis has slowly been destroying whatever is left of my mental health. This shit is absolutely horrifying.
Fuck this genocidal monster so goddamn much. Being gay, I've knew how much of a vile asshole he was for ages now, but to think he'd be president one day and make me, my family, friends, the whole country live through this nightmare is unbelieavable. Man, I feel so tired.

Do we have any solid data on reinfections? Last time I searched, numbers seemed very low. This is relevant to me cause I had covid last year.
last month article, sorry for google translate:
"Through mathematical modeling, crossing genomic and mortality data, the CADDE team calculates that P.1. be between 1.4 and 2.2 times more transmissible than the versions that preceded it. The Scientists also estimate that, in part of the individuals already infected with Sars-CoV-2 - somewhere between 25% and 61% -, the new variant can circumvent the immune system and cause a new infection.
The modeling work was done in collaboration with researchers from Imperial College London (United Kingdom).

Why would supporting Dilma's impeachment be tantamount to Bolsonaro support?
If you think having Dilma in power for two more years with weekly demonstrations in the streets, record unemployment and a raging recession would have somehow prevented Bolsonaro being elected President you know very little about Brazil.
"They call me genocidal," he says, and then completely talks around it rather than actually denying it.
Because they were saying #Bolsonaro2018 by then.
But where they are NOW when everything is worse?
