With the second-highest COVID-19 death toll in the world, Brazil is experiencing a huge surge in new cases. Nevertheless, Business Insider reports the country's president, Jair Bolsonaro, says he has no plans to take Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine against the virus. Bolsonaro has already had COVID-19 and says he is now immune. He called those who criticize his refusal to be vaccinated 'idiots' and 'imbeciles. Thursday, Bolsonaro suggested that the vaccine could produce bizarre side-effects, such as women growing beards or men speaking in effeminate voices. In the Pfizer contract, it's very clear. 'We're not responsible for any side effects.' If you turn into a crocodile, that's your problem. Jair Bolsonaro President of Brazil
