Brazil's Senate has opened an inquiry into President Jair Bolsonaro’s government handling of the pandemic as the country reports nearly 400,000 deaths from coronavirus this week.
Bolsonaro has repeatedly downplayed COVID-19's seriousness, railed against lockdowns and presided over an inept vaccination campaign.
Brazil has the world's second-highest death toll from the virus after the United States.
The probe could hurt the president's chances of being re-elected in next year's polls.
Bolsonaro told brazilinas not to waring a masc because he wants to diminish the population in Brazil and the stuped people followed his advice.
During the pandemic, Bolsonaro fired the first health minister which was a doctor and refused to follow the president's directions. This minister wouldn't go against science. Hired another minister which was also a doctor. In a month he resigned because of the same issue.
Bolsonaro tried to hire another minister which was also a doctor but she refused to take the job. Finally, Bolsonaro appoints an army general with no medical experience as a health minister. He was recently substituted and he's also under investigation for so many deaths.
