Brazil's Bolsonaro to be investigated for linking vaccine and AIDS

The future of any probe is uncertain, however. Mr. Aras rarely goes against the President and has not opened an investigation into Mr. Bolsonaro's handling of the pandemic despite calls to do so by the Senate committee
A justice of Brazil’s top court ordered on December 3 that President Jair Bolsonaro be investigated for comments linking COVID-19 vaccines to AIDS — an assertion rejected by doctors and scientists.
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes instructed the country’s top prosecutor, Augusto Aras, to look into the accusation raised by a pandemic inquiry conducted by Brazil’s Senate.
Mr. Bolsonaro said in an October 24 broadcast that “official reports from the U.K. government suggest that fully vaccinated people ... are developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome much faster than anticipated.” Facebook and Instagram took down that video days later, saying it violates their rules.
