mr bolsonaro, again from the very beginning, has denied the efficacy of those vaccines and, as the leader of your country, has signally, consistently refused to take the vaccine. the vaccines have been developed very quickly, as you know, without the opportunity for the tracking of long term effects. so, it s natural that people have the right to take or not to take the vaccines. by the way, the figures that science shows us from many places in the world don t seem to necessarily confirm that vaccine is the way to do it. if you compare brazil to south africa, for example. south africa has a very low vaccination rate, and the behaviour of the curve of covid infection and death is similar to brazil. brazil, i mean. one thing is the word you can call denialists or anything, but the question, the reality is that most of brazilians have been vaccinated. almost everyone who wants
to necessarily confirm that vaccine is the way to do it. if you compare brazil to south africa, for example. south africa has a very low vaccination rate, and the behaviour of the curve of covid infection and death is similar to brazil. brazil, i mean. one thing is the word you can call denialists or anything, but the question, the reality is that most of brazilians have been vaccinated. almost everyone who wants to be vaccinated has been vaccinated in brazil. the question is should people be forced to undergo, which is in fact an experimental vaccination because those vaccines have not been tested for the long run. i believe this is an issue for many countries in the world nowadays. so, the treatment with ivermectin, for example, has been demonised by the press, the press who replaces the scientists today. it s the press or the media
population still are willing to listen to the denialists, because that s what they are, it s quite it s a challenge for all of us and it s a challenge for biden. you re right, people want this to be over and they re going to blame him if it s not over, even if one reason it s not over is because 30% of the public refuses to get vaccinated and do the smart thing. well, and that s where the politics come back to the behavioral data that we have, that there s things people can do, the experts have told us that. david, thank you for breaking that one down with us here. i have a lot more coming up on tonight s show. steve bannon, we have that, and later biden has, he says, a plan to win by the end of the year. all that and our accountability check on something important that relates to charlottesville and civil rights. stay with us. with us y goodness. ! you get hungry for more and then you re just like, “wow, i m learning about my family.”
actually has talked a good talk about climate change, he has often been saying what an important priority it is for notjust the us but the world to tackle. no doubt as you say in glasgow he will continue to talk the good talk. it s at home where you have lawmakers holding up that agenda where it s really going to come down to the crunch. in fact it s a democratic senator, i mean the republicans are uniformly against it almost, but it s a democratic senator who has himself gotten rich from coal, is holding up the idea of converting more and more to clean energy. so that s really going to be a problem. when it comes to the public support, it does deserve to be said that in the us there have been denialists over climate change. right now, a new poll this month shows that 75% of people in the us actually do agree that global warming is a problem, only 12% deny it. it shows that the lawmakers themselves have not caught up with public opinion.
