247 - Speaking about the Covid-19 vaccine being developed by Oxford University in the United Kingdom and tested in Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro dismissed China, the country that invests the most in and imports the most from Brazil.
"There's a lot of talk about the Covid-19 vaccine. We joined that Oxford consortium, and from what it seems, [the vaccine] will work and 100 million doses will arrive for us. It's not from that other country, no. Okay, folks?", said Bolsonaro, referring to the Chinese vaccine being developed in partnership with the Butantan Institute in São Paulo.
During his weekly live broadcast, Bolsonaro said he believes that "everything will be alright" and that the country will receive 100 million doses of the vaccine in 2020.
