Ig Nobel Prize winner Bolsonaro Brings a Certain Something to the UN

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who in 2020 won an Ig Nobel Prize for his teachings about the Covid-19 pandemic, will share his experience with other world leaders tomorrow at a meeting of the United Nations.

 

The Washington Post reports:

The United Nations is demanding world leaders arriving in New York for its General Assembly adhere to an “honor system” to attest they are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. But that mandate will be tested in the general debate’s very first moments.

Jair Bolsonaro, who contracted the virus last year and as recently as last week said publicly that he does not need to be vaccinated because he has naturally acquired antibodies, is scheduled to kick off the 76th U.N. General Assembly’s general debate on Tuesday…..

Bolsonaro’s 2020 Prize-winning Achievement
