The British prime minister not-so-subtly put the pressure on Jair Bolsonaro before the U.N. General Assembly.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson repeatedly promoted AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine in an awkward meeting Monday with Brazil’s anti-vaccine president, Jair Bolsonaro. Watch the clips below.
During a gathering at the U.K. diplomatic residence in New York City before the U.N. General Assembly, Johnson “effectively challenged” the notorious right-wing leader to get inoculated, Sky News reported.
Johnson was relentless in needling his counterpart, urging other attendees to get vaccinated while noting directly to Bolsonaro that he got the shot “twice.”
