    It would be karmic if Bolsanaro finds himself in prison, after having tossed DaLula in jail over alleged made up charges, and DaLula back in power.

    Let's see how social media is dealing with the "Trump of South America" spreading COVID misinformation. Your President really has to suck for social media to take down their nonsense.

    YouTube on Wednesday removed videos from Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro's channel, citing its policy against spreading coronavirus misinformation, Reuters reported.

    YouTube said that it made the move without regard to the president’s politics, and said that “after careful review” it decided to take down some of the videos, Reuters reported.

    "Our rules do not allow content that states that hydroxychloroquine and/or ivermectin are effective in treating or preventing COVID-19, that states there is a cure for the disease, or says that masks do not work to prevent the spread of the virus," it said in a statement, according to Reuters.

    Bolsonaro’s office did not immediately respond to a request by Reuters for comment.

    Bolsonaro, who is being investigated for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been fined several times for failing to wear a mask and has made bizarre comments regarding vaccines and the pandemic.

    According to AFP, the Brazilian president suggested in December that the Pfizer vaccine could turn someone into a crocodile and has referred to the coronavirus as “a little flu.”

    "In the Pfizer contract it's very clear: 'we're not responsible for any side effects.' If you turn into a crocodile, it's your problem," Bolsonaro said in December, according to AFP.

    He also claimed that Brazilians could “jump into sewage” and not catch anything, according to The Guardian.

    Reuters notes that YouTube's decision follows ones taken by Facebook and Twitter last year in which they also removed content after Bolsonaro made statements that were at odds with medical advice being given by health experts.

    The Hill has reached out to YouTube for comment.

    Brazil's President Bolsonaro recently boasted he would make New York City bend to his will during his visit and be required to allow him to dine inside.

    Brazil’s unvaccinated far-right President Jair Bolsonaro has been photographed nibbling a pizza slice on the street in New York City, where indoor diners have to have had at least one COVID-19 shot. Bolsonaro is in NYC to take part in the United Nations General Assembly, and, last week, he boasted that he would ignore a vaccine mandate for attendees. However, it seems the city’s restaurant managers aren’t letting him bend the rules. According to Brazilian newspaper Correio Braziliense, Bolsonaro’s tourism minister Gilson Machado posted an Instagram snap of the president and his ministers having a humble outdoor dinner of pizza and Coke on their first night in NYC. The paper also noted that the unmasked Bolsonaro had to sneak into his hotel through the back door on Sunday due to protesters. The UN General Assembly will get underway Tuesday.
