Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro criticized the manufacturer of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine for not taking responsibility for side effects, even suggesting that the vaccine developed by U.S. drugmaker Pfizer and German biotech company BioNTech could turn people into crocodiles.
Jair Bolsonaro said today, “In Pfizer’s contract, it clearly says ‘we are not responsible for any side effects. If you turn into a crocodile, that’s your problem,” he said today.
He also noted, “If you turn into Superman, if women start growing beards or men start talking in soft voices, they won’t have any responsibility.
The Pfizer vaccine has been in trials in Brazil for several weeks, and people have been vaccinated in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Brazil to date exceeds 7.1 million, and nearly 185,000 people have died from the epidemic.
