The city of New York is taken this Tuesday by leaders from all over the world who attend the United Nations Assembly. Between meetings you can enjoy the wide range of restaurants in the city. All except the unvaccinated, whose entry is banned from the premises. And without distinction. This is the case with the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. His visit to the city of skyscrapers left an unpublished image this Sunday: the president – skeptical of vaccines – taking a piece of pizza in the middle of the street because he could not access the restaurants.
This is how the Brazilian leader dined, on his first night in New York, where entry to the city’s restaurants is not allowed without proof of vaccination against Covid-19.
Cumbre
Bolsonaro is a recognized skeptic of vaccines who has run into limitations in New York for not being immunized
The far-right populist is a vaccine skeptic who has bragged about not being vaccinated and said before leaving for New York that his immune system is strong enough to fend off the coronavirus. Boris Johnson himself, who has had the disease twice despite being vaccinated, recommended not to trust him.
New York
Rumors of a positive in Brazilian diplomacy
Two cabinet ministers from his delegation posted a photo of Bolsonaro and his aides eating slices of pizza on a New York sidewalk Sunday night. Bolsonaro supporters praised the casual “simplicity” of their happy leader eating pizza on the street near the Manhattan hotel where he is staying.
The Brazilian mission to the United Nations declined to comment on some reports that indicated that a Brazilian diplomat had tested positive in New York.
Bolsonaro will be the first head of state to address the annual UN General Assembly on Tuesday morning.
