Looking at "covid deaths" in Brazil. They had a massive explosion of "covid deaths" following the introducing of the vaxx in January 2020. March-July 2021 were much worse compared to the same time frame in 2020.

So its brazil?

The virus mutated, and you got a more dangerous variant meanwhile.
Also, Brazil has like 45% with 1 vaccine shot, and 17% fully vaccinated.

Also Brazil numbers, of death are so inaccurate, you basically cant really use them.

Why are things bad in brazil?

Covid-19: Why have deaths soared in Brazil?  - April 9th 2021

What has Bolsonaro said about Covid?

The president has been highly sceptical about the need to take decisive action to tackle the pandemic:

  • he has called Covid "just a little flu"
  • rejected a nationwide lockdown, saying such measures only made the poor poorer
  • called state governors and mayors who imposed lockdown "tyrants"
  • cast doubts on the efficacy and safety of jabs and said he wouldn't get vaccinated
  • joked the Pfizer jab may "turn people into crocodiles"
  • dismissed opportunities to purchase millions of vaccine doses
  • told people to "stop whining" about the situation

He continues to oppose lockdowns, but his government has now stepped up its drive to vaccinate the country's population of more than 200 million people.

A recent estimate from the University of Washington predicted that Brazil could see a total of more than 500,000 deaths by July.

Regional leaders say mixed messaging and a resistance to lockdowns at the national level have made local restrictions harder to enforce.

Hospital intensive care beds in many states across the country are full or close to capacity. 

Dr Miguel Nicolelis, a Brazilian professor of neuroscience at Duke University, told the BBC:
"The country is in a nationwide hospital collapse right now - it's the first time in history the public health system has collapsed.

"If we can acquire the vaccine in large quantities, we could at least mitigate the situation."

....

ect ect.

^ Once your hospital system cant help people, with beds, oxygen, meds, ect.... numbers of death climb.
