Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Snaps at Reporter Over Mask Mandates , Removes Mask During Interview

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has apparently had enough of the fake news.

The Brazilian president recently had several videos on his Youtube account removed by the platform for allegedly “spreading coronavirus misinformation.”

That misinformation being that Hydroxychloroquine and/or Ivermecton are effective at treating Covid-19.

Youtube had this to say in regards to the removed content:

“Our policies don’t allow content that claims hydroxychloroquine and/or Ivermectin are effective to treat or prevent COVID-19, claims that there is a guaranteed cure for COVID-19, and claims that masks don’t work to prevent the spread of the virus.”

Following this news, Bolsonaro was confronted by a reporter who began criticizing him for being fined for not wearing a mask.

Bolsonaro snapped back at the reporter, removed his mask, and called the media scoundrels.

Bolsonaro said: 

“You destroy the Brazilian’s family, you destroy the Brazilian’s religion, you are no good.”

A Twitter user pointed out that several of the people behind Bolsonaro also unmasked.

The outburst comes as Bolsonaro had several Youtube videos removed for "misinformation" about the coronavirus...

The BBC broke that story:

YouTube says it has removed videos posted by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, because they spread misinformation about coronavirus.

The tech giant said its decision was not based on ideology or politics, but on its content policies.

Since the start of the pandemic, the president has spoken out against lockdowns, masks and vaccinations.

His office has not commented on YouTube's decision, which affects 15 videos, local media say.

His channel features weekly national addresses, and conversations with ministers about various issues - some of which are live-streamed.

According to news outlet O Globo, one video shows Eduardo Pazuello, Brazil's former health minister, comparing coronavirus with Aids.

"Post-HIV pandemic, HIV continues to exist. There are still some who are contaminated, most are treated, and life goes on," said Mr Pazuello.

In another video of a CNN broadcast, a Brazilian doctor recommended hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug, and the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as treatments against Covid-19.

Worldwide censorship of those opposed to mask mandates and Covid-19 vaccines has gotten completely out of control.

Several doctors have spoken out about the actual effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine.

Unfortunately, any such information has been censored by the media and Big Tech.

One can only hope that enough world leaders wake up to the truth and push back against the fake narrative surrounding Covid-19.

Massive protests have taken place in Brazil against Bolsonaro allegedly due to his Covid-19 policies to this point.
