Bolsanaro is Brazil's Trump. If the vaccines had completed trials and gone to mass distribution under Trump's watch, I think it would've all been a different story. Everything is about attacking things that are perceived to benefit the opposition.
His Ivermectin Covid cocktails in lieu of vaccination have been a disaster. Calls to charge him for crimes endangering the population with quack remedies (probably personally profiting his cronies).

The report by the United Nations Environmental Program found that 15 big fossil fuel producers intended to produce 110 percent more oil, coal, and gas in 2030 than is consistent with the Paris Agreement's scenario for limiting rising temperatures to 1.5 degrees from the pre-industrial era, and 45 percent more than is consistent with the 2-degree scenario.
What's more, the world's big fossil fuel producers plan to continue raising oil and gas production over the next twenty years. On top of that, coal production is seen declining only marginally, according to the authors of the report. This is even more out of sync with Paris Agreement targets, the report warned.
