“Get your husband vaccinated”, De Blasio’s ‘advice’ to Bolsonaro’s wife

“Send your husband to get vaccinated, so he’ll stop being a danger to others.” The mayor of New York, Bill De Blasio, thus addressed the wife of Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro on Twitter. The idea is a news in the New York Times, according to which Michelle Bolsonaro got vaccinated against covid-19 during her visit last week in New York, on the occasion of the UN General Assembly. Her husband was the only G20 leader who spoke to the UN to declare publicly that he did not want to be vaccinated. De Blasio had already attacked him for this on Twitter. “If you don’t want to get vaccinated, don’t come,” he urged. Meanwhile, in Brazil, the president’s wife’s decision to get vaccinated in New York and not at home has been heavily criticized, with some commentators seeing it as a sign of “contempt” for the national health system, reports the G1 portal. During the trip to New York, the Brazilian health minister, who was part of the official delegation, tested positive for covid.
