The Peninsula
SAO PAULO/RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro fired a Health Ministry official on Wednesday after a newspaper reported that the official asked for a bribe in a vaccine deal, the latest graft accusation to rock the government amid investigations into its pandemic response.
With over half a million COVID-19 deaths and more new cases daily than any other country, anger is mounting in Brazil over missed opportunities to buy coronavirus vaccines. A Senate investigation has unearthed alleged corruption in the vaccine procurement drive, triggering new calls for Bolsonaro's impeachment.
