Brazil's Bolsonaro sanctioned on social media for misinformation on Covid-19 vaccines

A live broadcast video from Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been removed from Facebook, Youtube and Instagram. In it, the president falsely stated that UK citizens are developing AIDS faster after receiving two Covid-19 vaccine doses. After the video was posted, fact-checking and governmental entities scrambled to clarify that there is no evidence to demonstrate a link between Covid-19 vaccines and the development of viruses such as HIV.
