Senator leading Covid response inquiry suggests president Jair Bolsonaro preferred herd immunity over a vaccine strategy
Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro never wanted to buy Covid-19 vaccines and originally bet on herd immunity beating the coronavirus, the senator leading the upper house’s inquiry into the government’s handling of the crisis said.
In an interview, senator Renan Calheiros said on Friday it was too early to say if Bolsonaro had committed any criminal offense in his management of the public health crisis, and that more investigation was required.
