Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who earlier this year contracted coronavirus, says he won't be getting vaccinated for it.
In a declaration that went out on social media overnight Thursday, Bolsonaro said he had no intention of getting the vaccine, and hinted that Brazil's legislature would not be passing any law making COVID vaccines mandatory for the people of Brazil.

"I'm not going to get vaccinated, it's my right," Bolsonaro said.
Brazil has the third-largest number of confirmed COVID cases in the world after the US and India, and the second-highest COVID mortality rate.
