Another cabinet member, the Brazilian Environment Minister Ricardo Salles, tested positive for the corona virus. This was reported by the Brazilian media, citing the Ministry of the Environment in Brasília.
Salles has a high fever and will remain in isolation, but is fine. Salles is reportedly the 15th member of the first tier of government to contract the coronavirus. This includes President Jair Bolsonaro (in July) and Vice-President Hamilton Mourão (in December).
Bolsonaro initially played down the corona virus and is now questioning the point of vaccinations. So far, more than 9.9 million people in the largest country in Latin America have been shown to have been infected with the coronavirus -
only in the USA and India are the numbers even higher. In addition, almost 241,000 patients in Brazil have died in connection with Covid-19.

-THREADE + SOURCE-

In the period from January to December of last year, the Hamburg nanoscientist Roland Wiesendanger compiled various findings from scientific studies, articles, reports in social media and other sources and
came to the conclusion: The pathogen Sars-CoV-2 is not of natural origin, but comes from a laboratory in Wuhan. The physicist cites the following points as evidence for these theories: To date, no so-called intermediate host animal has been identified that
proves according to the "zoonosis theory" that the coronaviruses were transmitted from bats to humans. A research group at the virological institute in the city of Wuhan has carried out genetic manipulations on coronaviruses for many years.
