Bolsonaro Swallowing Hydroxychloroquine Live On Social Media | Talking Points Memo

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — After months of touting an unproven anti-malaria drug as a treatment for the new coronavirus, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is turning himself into a test case live before millions of people as he swallows hydroxychloroquine pills on social media and encourages others to do the same.

The best thing that could happen to Brazil right now is this guy croaking…They had 44000 new cases and 1200 deaths yesterday. And the only thing this clown can think of is to make a show of using an already debunked remedy.

He’s so much like Trump, I’m beginning to wonder if Putin has a bounty on Brazilian soldiers.

No doubt schools will be opening very soon in Brazil, if not already open.

If it’s any consolation, that was also the first thing that I thought after reading the headline.

Hey President Bolsonaro… you are doing it all wrong, you don’t swallow them, you insert the pills in a dog treat, beam UV light on it, dip it in bleach and the use it as a suppository…

Yeh, but he needs to die of a heart arythmia, brought on by the hydrology-crap. Have an event on camera. It all needs to be live.

These guys like Trump, and Bolsonaro, and whatever that crater-faced guy in the Philippines is named, are a kind of Hegelian synthesis of criminal con man, performance artist, and death cult leader.

Notice pictures of Bolsonaro: he’s perpetually got that scowling, nasty look that is his failed impression of the archetypal “man of destiny.” And, like Trump, when he smiles, it comes off as a sadistic sneer.

You’re not alone there. But I doubt he’s taking hydroxychloroquine, despite what he says. Same with Trump.

In a controlled study, there are multiple sign-offs and validations for this kind of medication. For publicity-hungry politicians, there are none.
