Twitter breathlessly reports that Brazil is the “world’s fourth biggest (COVID) hotspot.”
Brazil is a huge country with more than 200 million people. Deaths per million there are not in the top 25, less than 10% of Belgium, and lower than Denmark – which the press always holds out as a model of success.
The press and social media are desperate to discredit Brazil, because Brazil has a conservative president who has refused to adopt tyranny. Freedom is not part of the left-wing agenda.
