Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro shocked even his staunchest supporters this week with an expletive-filled tirade against the COVID-19 vaccine, despite 7.1 million cases of the virus in the country and over 185,000 deaths.
“I’m not going to get [the vaccine]. Some say I’m setting a bad example. Hey a–hole, oh idiot, what are you saying about the bad example, I already had the virus, I already have antibodies. Why should I get the vaccine again?” Bolsonaro said in a speech captured by the news service UOL to a crowd in Porto Seguro. Bolsonaro contracted COVID-19 earlier this year.
Brazil has registered two cases of reinfection and scientists are not sure how long antibodies last, according to the news site.
Bolsonaro then went on to slam American drug company Pfizer and it’s vaccine. The company exempted itself from liability in case of side effects of the vaccine – which Bolsonaro said rhetorically could turn someone into an alligator and they wouldn’t be liable.

I don’t know much about alligators, but I do know about the Dolphins. They had a nice win today against the cheating Patriots. Nothing fancy but a win is a win. We still have a decent shot of getting into the playoffs. Imho, Tua Tagovailoa is not the answer or the future. You can’t just keep handing the ball to your running backs. A quaterback is supposed to know how to throw a normal pass to his receivers. This shrimp can’t. All his little baby 3 yard passes is not going to cut it the NFL. Get out.
Who was this alligator pictured above before he took the vaccine?
The real Dr. Fauci
Brazil’s President said: “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,” Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday.
“If you become superhuman, if a woman starts to grow a beard or if a man starts to speak with an effeminate voice, they will not have anything to do with it,” he said, referring to the drug manufacturers.
This myth that the vaccine can turn someone into a an alligator is a big crock. The origin of this myth is unknown, but legend has it that a doctor once administered the vaccine to someone, and upon leaving the doctor’s office, the doctor told him mysteriously, “See you later alligator.” Legend also has it that this person spent the rest of his life living in a swamp. But there is no reason to believe this story is true.
see ya’ later, alligator
