Brazilian Senators Back Report Accusing Bolsonaro of Crimes Against Humanity for Pandemic Response
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Brazil, a Senate committee has approved a report calling for criminal
charges, including crimes against humanity, against far-right President
Jair Bolsonaro over his deadly mishandling of the pandemic. The Senate
report also accuses dozens of other officials and two companies of
committing crimes. Brazil has reported over 600,000 COVID fatalities,
the second-highest official death toll after the U.S.

In related news, Facebook and You Tube have removed a video by Bolsonaro
in which he falsely claims that COVID vaccines are linked to AIDS.
