That one is a fake, it has a 'to be published June 6th, 2023' line. I know this because I fell for it.

For now. I wouldn't be surprised if it got reversed in 10-15 years. Remember politicians aren't loyal even to those who bribe them.

Video deleted.

Yesterday, the Brazilian Health Ministry officially considered the 'medical emergency' due to COVID over. This means that many of the measures regarding COVID can be dropped, to the relief of many politicians. I think, but am not sure, that some measures still are tied to the WHO considering...

Rio de Janeiro dropped indoor mask mandates two-three weeks ago. Now the Mayor is begging the Federal government to have the big state-owned enterprises(Petrobras, Eletrobras, BNDES) to go back to at-office work, so that he can get more revenue from the service businesses at downtown Rio. I'd...

Understatement of the year.

Maybe? Things aren't as bad as the Italian situation seems to be. But I wouldn't say there is no possibility of them becoming as bad.

People simply don't comply whenever they don't want to, but the (extra-official)pressure is there. My elder brother was flatly told 'get a booster shot or get fired', in spite of there being no legal basis for that. A Congress Representative has sent a letter to his company asking exactly what...

Wouldn't be surprised if they tried this on Brazil as well.

Sobek is Brazilian.

He deleted the tweet, but I doubt he withdrew the request.

It was also obvious that it would happen. A private citizen, trying to make a point that would humiliate a government? Not if the government has anything to say about it.

They have stopped trying to ousting him out*. Now they are concentrating on winning the 2022 elections, either through fraud, or through making him ineligible to run on 2022. *That doesn't matter, though. Bolsonaro joined hands with Centrão and threw away every single guy that they didn't like...

More than once, IIRC.

Don't get your hopes up. Most cases brought up to the ICC are merely political theatre, so that the ones who brought it up can holler about their political opponents to the four corners of their countries 'Look at how horrible they are!'. Leftists love doing this shit.

This reminds me of some claims that Ivermectin caused male sterility. Same means of attack, something that is bound to invoke strong reactions in some(people tend to take sterilization, at least their own, very seriously). Absent further information, I'm not taking this seriously.

They are already doing that. This attack was linked to the fact many cities are instituting and enforcing laws that make people show their jab status to enter many establishments(in Rio, since December 2nd, you're supposed to show vaccination status before entering a restaurant - I'm having...

And she was a singularly shitty Minister of Defence as well.

That's the way to bet. The engineer in me also whispers this new variant may cause more friction...

I think Delta is doubling down on their policy, after Southwest and another company(I think it was American) said they won't be mandating vac shots for their employees. I foresee Delta will lose a lot of employees soon.
