Jair Bolsonaro claims ‘victory’ after suspension of Chinese vaccine trial
Critics say halt in testing of Covid vaccine CoronaVac is politically motivated
The Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, has sparked outrage by gloating over the suspension of clinical trials of the Chinese coronavirus vaccine after a volunteer’s death.
“Another victory for Jair Bolsonaro,” read a comment posted by the official Facebook account of Brazil’s far-right leader on Monday night after the country’s health regulator, Anvisa, announced it had halted testing of the CoronaVac jab.
