It's important to take that number skeptically, as the Bolsonaro government and some states actively try to make the pandemic look small. The Health Ministry, which had a page keeping track of all deaths, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://oglobo.globo.com/sociedade/governo-esconde-totais-de-mortes-casos-da-covid-19-tira-site-do-ar-1-24466314">took it down to pamper the dear leader</a>. The numbers come from what news outlets can gather from state and municipal Health Secretaries. </p><p>With the rush to create a vaccine having a Chinese one in the lead, CoronaVac, Bolsonaro was quick to state that the vaccination won't be mandatory and that the Chinese vaccine, specifically, won't enter the country, citing that it doesn't have approval from government agencies. Of course, that is a blatant lie, first because the vaccine would be produced in Brazil as a partnership between Sinovac, the Chinese company, and Butantan Institute, a Brazilian public institution that develops several vaccines, antidotes, and drugs. Second, Anvisa, the agency regulating drugs and vaccines, has not found any problems with Sinovac in the years that the company worked in the country. While it's easy to attribute Bolsonaro's decision to just him being a xenophobic sociopath, this was also a political maneuver, as the state governor of São Paulo, João Doria, a possible competitor for the 2022 elections, led the negotiations between Sinovac and Butantan to get the vaccine to São Paulo. Update: Sinovac's vaccine <i>has</i> turned out to be somewhat problematic, so this might be a <a href="/wiki/Stopped_clock" title="Stopped clock">stopped-clock</a> moment for him - though, given his lack of common sense, it might just be coincidental luck.<sup id="cite_ref-93" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a></sup> Expect something along the lines of "the Bible told me that". </p><p>To put that in perspective, the other leading vaccine, the Oxford vaccine, with a partnership between AstraZeneca laboratory and Fiocruz, did not find any resistance from Bolsonaro.<sup id="cite_ref-94" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a></sup> </p><p>In late March 2021, official COVID-19 deaths in Brazil rose above 300,000,<sup id="cite_ref-95" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a></sup> with Brazil having the highest number of deaths from COVID-19 per day.<sup id="cite_ref-nbcmarch2021_96-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nbcmarch2021-96">[96]</a></sup> The total death count in Brazil was only exceeded by the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>, which had just begun a mass <a href="/wiki/Vaccination" class="mw-redirect" title="Vaccination">vaccination</a> campaign without supply constraints.<sup id="cite_ref-97" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a></sup> The vaccination rollout in Brazil, in contrast, was proceeding very slowly.<sup id="cite_ref-cnnmarch2021_98-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cnnmarch2021-98">[98]</a></sup> Intensive care occupancy in Brazil was at 80% or above in all but two of Brazil's 27 states.<sup id="cite_ref-bbcmarch2021_99-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bbcmarch2021-99">[99]</a></sup> </p><p>Rather than resolving these issues, Bolsonaro preferred to spend his energy battling states that imposed lockdown measures to control the virus and arresting critics and protesters of his policy failures.<sup id="cite_ref-cnnmarch2021_98-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cnnmarch2021-98">[98]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-100" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a></sup> Bolsonaro called governors who wished to impose COVID-19 lockdowns "tyrants" and, in a speech to his supporters at an impromptu birthday party on March 21, noted that they could "count on our armed forces to defend your freedom" (meaning, of course, "freedom" to not socially distance, not wear <a href="/wiki/Face_masks" title="Face masks">face masks</a>, and "freedom" to not "lockdown" and continuing to mingle as if a massive pandemic wasn't happening).<sup id="cite_ref-101" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-bbcmarch2021_99-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bbcmarch2021-99">[99]</a></sup> Worryingly, many Bolsonaro followers were emulating Bolsonaro and following this problematic "advice", a bad idea considering that a new, more transmissible variant called "P.1" was taking hold in Brazil.

Said militia is composed mainly of cops (retired and active) that took over the lucrative drug trafficking business and protection racketeering after the old criminal leaders were either killed or jailed. There was also strong evidence that Flavio Bolsonaro, one of Jair's sons, had hired Queiroz to collect a percentage of his assessors' salaries.<sup id="cite_ref-129" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-129">[129]</a></sup> So far, Queiroz has failed to come up with a "plausible story", and there is a high probability that the case will be archived and forgotten by the justice system, as the initial investigation didn't have a court order, despite many previous cases, including Lava Jato, having their initial investigations begin without a court order, but a request from COAF, the agency that controls and audits suspicious money movement. </p><p>As if having one of his sons directly involved wasn't enough, there is also the possibility of the family being involved, even if indirectly, with the murder of Marielle Franco. Context: Marielle was a rising left-wing politician in Rio de Janeiro, being black and from a poor background (like the vast majority of the population) and also being lesbian. On March 14, 2018, she was ambushed and shot dead, along with her driver. An undeniable political crime, the investigation went everywhere but the most likely culprits, the Rio de Janeiro militias, one with the charming name of Escritório do Crime (lit. Crime Office). The reason for successive "mistakes", including loss of footage that could help reveal the perpetrators, is as stated above: the criminal group has active cops in its midst and is well connected to the higher-ups, so it's easy for them to disrupt the investigation. As of November 2019, the crime is still unsolved. </p><p>The current suspects of the shooting, Ronnie Lessa and Elcio de Queiroz (no relation to Fabricio), had their movement traced, leading the investigation to the condo where Bolsonaro has a mansion. At first, any relation to him could be discarded as mere coincidence, as the house the duo visited was of another person, who got busted for possessing a <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://g1.globo.com/rj/rio-de-janeiro/noticia/2019/03/12/policia-encontra-117-fuzis-m-16-na-casa-de-suspeito-de-atirar-em-marielle-e-anderson-gomes.ghtml">stock of 117 M-16 rifles</a> on March 13. However, the condo's porter stated to the police that he remembered people asking to go to Bolsonaro's house on the day of the crime, which he also wrote down on the entrance papers. Once the news broke out, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/oct/30/brazil-jair-bolsonaro-marielle-franco-murder-suspects">Bolsonaro and his family went into a frenzy</a>, with the patriarch doing a livestream and bellowing at Globo, threatening the group to remove their TV concession and effectively shutting down the channel. Not only that, Jair immediately ordered Sergio Moro, Justice Minister, to take care of the porter. It took two hours for the prosecutor responsible for the investigation, Carmen Eliza Bastos de Carvalho, to evaluate the audio logs and make a press conference to state that the porter lied.<sup id="cite_ref-130" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-130">[130]</a></sup> The prosecutor was later shown to be an avid supporter of Bolsonaro and posed with Rodrigo Amorim, the deputy that broke the honor plaque that renamed a street after Marielle.<sup id="cite_ref-131" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-131">[131]</a></sup> At first, she denied that this would influence the investigation, but she stepped down after she realized nobody would believe that. </p><p>On another front, Carlos Bolsonaro very quickly posted on his Twitter<sup id="cite_ref-132" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-132">[132]</a></sup> (and later deleted) the audio logs of the porter's calls on the day of the murder.
