As Brazil hurtles toward an official COVID-19 death toll of 500,000 — second-highest in the world — science is on trial inside the country and the truth is up for grabs. With the milestone likely to be reached this weekend, Brazil’s Senate is publicly investigating how the toll got so high, focusing on why Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s far-right government ignored opportunities to buy vaccines for months while it relentlessly pushed hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug that rigorous studies have shown to be ineffective in treating COVID-19. https://worldabcnews.com/brazil-approaches-covid-19-death-toll-of-500000/ |

While the Senate will investigate how the toll got so high, I wish they would investigate whether the official numbers are far below the excess deaths. If the death rate was close to that of Peru then the figures would be well over 1 million making Brazil the country with most deaths (and far higher than the USA). |

Sadly the 500,000 mark has been passed.
