Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro bizarrely suggests COVID-19 vaccines could turn people into 'crocodiles' or bearded ladies

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro adjusts his mask as he leaves Alvorada Palace, amid the coronavirus disease outbreak in BrasiliaHe suggested that the vaccine could result in strange side-effects, such as women growing beards and people turning into crocodiles, according toDespite the president's claim that Brazil is at the "tail end" of the pandemic, the country is currently experiencing a huge surge in new COVID-19 cases.

He continued: "If you become superhuman, if a woman starts to grow a beard or if a man starts to speak with an effeminate voice, they [Pfizer] won't have anything to do with it," he said. He told AFP: "Some people say I'm giving a bad example. But to the imbeciles, to the idiots that say this, I tell them I've already caught the virus, I have the antibodies, so why get vaccinated?""I tell you; I will not take [any vaccine]. It is my right and I am sure that Congress will not create difficulties for whoever doesn't want to take a vaccine."

Bolsonaro has played down the pandemic for many months. In May, he referred to the coronavirus as a "little flu."

Long covid dickness?

Just getting out of vaccination

This makes realDonaldTrump sound intelligent!

Wow, brainless is no way to go through life!

Moron Leaders

Completely f.... stupid. And he was talking about Pfizer's one.

This fake news media is dead.

please, help

He may speak with knowledge...he’s the offspring of a crocodile and a bearded lady.

me after getting the vaccine

Somebody needs to green light that guy

Have you been talking to realDonaldTrump again?

Puta...

sounds like something biden would say.

Essa mula não representa ninguém. Não o leve a sério.

Wait a minute, I think the CDC may have missed that one... Oh! - wow! there it is in the list of vaccine side effects: three headaches; 8 sore arms; six crocodiles and three bearded ladies, one of which was originally male! Drat! How did they not see that!

I was going to look for some Gators dancingshoes to dance in for the season, but I guess I won't be needing them now. I'm gonna get them Crocs!

Jair Bolsonaro is literally the best leader of any nation on earth, so basically he's right

This is the reason Brazil had 2nd highest deaths in world.such a fools hold big positions .how is this possible.

GatorsDaily

I think this is a mischaracterization: in the clip I saw, he was complaining that Pfizer's disclaimer could absolve them of anything and he then enumerated 2 or 3 ridiculous examples of 'anything'. (I'm defending the idea of unassailable journalism, not that dangerous idiot.)

Feels like a pretty wide range.

The language of sarcasm can no longer understand it...

And business insider just got trolled by Latin America's Master troll. Bolsonaro is the best, and one funny dude.

Fake

Another Bozonaro moment from Brazil's chief butt-clown.

Idiot

People cannot undestands memes....

Who votes for these nuts?

Yes! Now I will finally be able to get rid of those pesky turtles.

It’s sarcasm. Come on. Clickbait.

Why are you reporting on this nonsense? Are we short of Interesting new stories?

This explains SO MUCH! I must’ve had COVID earlier this year and been unaware. Thankfully, I’ve been wearing a mask when I go out so no one knows my little secret. 😷

Ah geez, naturalize him and he could be the governor of Florida...

Given I already have a beard and being a crocodile kinda seems cool SIGN ME UP.

Really!!

I think this guys already had Covid and also had brain damage as a result

Wait a minute! Why isn't the Leader of the Free World first in line for the vaccine? Maybe Trump knows something we don’t? Sadly, there are many suspicious of the vaccine. After all, Trump rushed the release of it & yet he refuse to get vaccinated. Trump should take the vaccine!

kiranshaw vaccine

Can we choose? Are there other options as well? Is there like a wildcard of getting super speed?

He’s beyond dumb and his ignorance is killing people

Lol 😂

Sounds like he’s on the Trump Immunity Plan — let enough people die and you don’t have to waste money on vaccines

ainarsbr11 Abject lie. He suggested nothing like that. Read the original article!

Wow man, what kinda stuff he on.

That'a LIE!!! Fakenews! That's ridiculous!

Another comedian. Sadly, the sick and deceased people aren’t laughing.

GoodBy Evil Trader Doc Joe Camp David Savino Carlson Malta Greenwich AINT Vincent’s Hospital

He and Trump should compare notes.

It was a loose translation from Russian so he wasn't sure which to say.

Trumps Brazilian twin. Another idiot in chief.

He could also have been abducted by aliens who implanted a chip in his brain that makes him say stupid things.

Me after getting the vaccine

MsMariaT He should know 😜

did he also mention that it stops you from dying?

🙃

😆😆😆

brasil brazil Bolsonaro moron wtf tropicaltrump COVID19 vaccine

Do I get a choice?

This dude makes trump seems less crazy if that's at all possible.

Yikes there is something wrong with this man. He cray cray just like some other world leaders. Ours is a traitor and not a leader.

so, he's 'trump-lite.' got it.

I don’t know. Maybe if it’s temporary. It would be cool to be a crocodile for a week! 🐊

What?😂😂😂

When you believe in Science, all things are possible. Science

El loca

Delusional😈 !

Imagine 🤔

Obviously he’s been talking to tRump.

In fact, knowing which will be absolutely critical to decision-making. 🙃

Strange.i am surprised that mental health issues with world leaders are so rampant 😢

Olha a vergonha que a gente tá passando, puta que pariu

SOS

Soon in brazil...according to Jair

Why did the Brazilian ppl vote this guy for president? Because he is funny?

Right? Cuz there’s a pretty big difference

Can we choose? I’d like to be a crocodile personally. But that’s just me.

🤣

🇧🇷 leader sounds like 🇺🇸 leader. Shave & a haircut

Another leftist rag misquoting someone..

After Australia now Brazil

socalmcgraw 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fake News

I had no idea mental health issues were this rampant among world leaders

Jooo joo jo jor naaaa lis m... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Are you idiots or dumb? (or paid?)

He thinks like Borat.

I'd rather be a crocodile than a sheep.

another idiot that has to go...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think he meant to say bearded lizards.

Bearded ladies won't be that bad for Bolsonaro.

he said alligator (jacaré) *I'm not trying to obtuse and I'd never defend Trumpinho Jr.'s lunacy.

O Brasil, mais uma vez, virando motivo de zombaria internacional...

What about bearded lady crocodiles?

That's was a joke! Only you to make a fake news with that. What a shame.

This is weird. 😂

upanizza the real problem is that people supposedly voted for him

If you mix the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines you become a bearded crocodile and that has me excited.

Artistic rendering of our glorious crocodile-man future.

Can we choose which one? Or is Pfizer crocodiles and Moderna bearded ladies? I need to know before choosing a vaccine.

This seems sane.

'STOP locking-down to control Covid': Britain's WHO envoy pleads with world leaders to stop using lockdowns as their 'primary' means of tackling virus because it is 'doubling' global poverty 10:5

Atleast they won't be an Idiot like him.

Is there a checkbox on the form? 'Cause i DEF want to be The Bearded Lady. Eating poodles sounds tedious...

O seu orifício rugoso!!! Traz aí.

I didn't think today could get dumber, but here we are.

O Palmeiras não tem mundial!

Or bearded crocodiles.

🤡

🏆💀🇧🇷🔥

Seems a wide spectrum case study.

Makes me want to take it even more.

FRANC73537409

He’s possibly more dumber than trump and Trump is pretty stupid.

Somos uma piada

Seems like these ppl are willing to say and do anything to stay in the media spotlight... my goodness what a waste of oxygen these kind of ppl are...

Is this planning a run in the US as a Republican or something?

Bolsonaro is a clown but this interpretation of what he said is not accurate.

Bearded lady crocodile.

Men in the West are already turning into bearded ladies.

Well he could use the improvement so he should get his.

How do these idiots get into power? Honestly. As an American I may not have room to talk, given the last 4 years, but come on.

I really like this story

Journalists dont get jokes anymore, lazy AF

Just exactly what kind of drugs do they have down there? Is that why he is clearing away rainforest, to get easier access to the 'medicinal' plants

don't be stupid. it was clearly a joke. have you ever heard of sarcasm? disappointing to read this on BI. fakenews

Francischine_10 get your man

Huge if true

SERIOUSLY.. Bolsonaro must be a fan of trumpism. And these are 'leaders' of Countries This one's just stupid 🤦🏻‍♀️

About as ridiculous as saying it’s 100% safe and effective.

Fake news

We have way too many breaded ladies, I'm cheering for crocodiles.

Fake news

That is not what he said, you are manipulating the headline for clickbait. 'In the Pfizer contract it's very clear: 'we're not responsible for any side effects.' If you turn into a crocodile, it's your problem,' Bolsonaro said on Thursday.

Give me the crocodile one

Liar

What's wrong with this guy, seriously?

Typical right wing leader. Sees an opportunity to cull non-productive members of society (seniors) and grabs it. If you do not think Trump did this too, you are not paying attention.

Bearded Dragons 🐉!

Haha. Don't you just love those crazies? Trump's folks!

Awesome and hilarious

Are you sure it wasn't the newly elected Alabammy Senator who said that?

I vote for a bearded crocodile

Got the vaccine this morning. Giving my daughter a ride to pre-school.

He’s out of his fucking mind.

Current alive ladies have a secret for him.

Is he experiencing post-Covid symptoms?

This MF is crazier than Xi, Trump and Kim all together.

JoeBiden look that.

He was an idiot and a moron before he caught Covid-19. Now he's a total COVIDIOT. I think the virus fried whatever brain cells he had.

Alright, at what point are you going to stop covering clowns like this? I know you need readers but this is not news this is dangerous dark comedy. We dont need shit like this now.

Elito GatorsDaily

it was a joke. It s is fake news.

A complete idiot

All politicians who make this type of statements are fools or think others are fools (at least there are enough fools)

Chancellor Merkel : Mr. Bolsonaro, are you serious and dead sure? We the EU are going to buy a lot of vaccines from the US big pharma.

Proof of stupid people in other countries too.

World full of morons... And they are in power!

Given that he’s a cold-blooded reptile himself, I’m a little surprised that he’s casting the vaccine in a negative light...

I hate it here🤦🏾‍♀️😩😒

sounds cool as shit

Everyone knows it’s bearded crocodiles.

That’s quite the spectrum! What’s in the middle?

our president is a joke, omg, really, why ppl voted this guy, will never get it.. ridiculous person

So can HRT but I'm all for it

follow daily, every day this idiot says something like this - and increases on days when there is news about corruption in his family or friends
