President Jair Bolsonaro has threatened to withdraw Brazil from the World Health Organization, following in the footsteps of his US counterpart, Donald Trump, accusing it of 'ideological bias.'

President Jair Bolsonaro threatened Friday to withdraw Brazil from the World Health Organization, following in the footsteps of his US counterpart, Donald Trump, accusing it of"ideological bias."

Sometimes called a"Tropical Trump," Mr Bolsonaro has followed a similar script to the US president in his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, downplaying its severity, criticizing state authorities' stay-at-home measures and touting the purported effects of the drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine against COVID-19.

The WHO had suspended trials of the drug after major studies raised concerns about its safety and effectiveness against the new coronavirus - Mr irking Trump, a hydroxychloroquine fan who even took the drug himself as a preventive measure. Mr Bolsonaro, however, put the reversal down to the WHO losing its more than $400-million annual contribution from the United States, its biggest funder.People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others.

Monkey see monkey do

someone put Bolsanaro down..this man is maniacal and unfit to rule a nation...

It's just getting ridiculous! The fascist with the ideological bias accuses WHO of having an ideological bias. The imbecile bolsonaro is projecting. How has politics become so pathetic worldwide? jairbolsonaro is a nutter & completely & utterly incompetent, how is he president?

The WHO does not want covidiots like Bolsonaro anyway. He can't even manage the health of his own country.

Quite the wee gang they have going eh?

He might want to think twice about that. He can't even wear a mask properly. 😷

projection.
