BRASILIA, May 14 (Reuters) - A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Friday ruled that former Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello will not be obligated to answer questions that could incriminate him before a Senate panel investigating the government s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With more than 430,000 dead, Brazil has experienced the world s second-deadliest outbreak of COVID-19 after the United States.
Critics blame the severity of the death toll on a negligent response by the government of President Jair Bolsonaro, who has downplayed the severity of the disease and opposed lockdowns. Bolsonaro says he regrets the deaths, but Brazil must get back to business as usual.

South Korea is extending its social distancing rules by 2 weeks until January 31, the country s Health Ministry said in a news release Saturday.
A ban on gatherings of five or more people will also remain in place until the end of January, the ministry added.
Seoul Metropolitan Area has been under social distancing level 2.5, the second-highest level, since early December, while the rest of the country has been on level 2, the third-highest level.
https://www.hangthecensors.com/484872.html (Natural News) Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro recently said he would not partake in the coronavirus vaccine experiment. Now the Supreme Court of Brazil is trying to make Brazilians believe that they have no rights, that they have to take the shots or they will be excluded from the rest of society. A mob of ten out of eleven justices on Brazil’s Supreme Court support mandatory coronavirus vaccines, an assault on the principles of informed consent and medical privacy.
An unvaccinated person is NOT a filthy vector of disease, guilty of spreading diseases they do not have, just because a pharmaceutical company says so. Likewise, it is not a crime to be exposed to the environment, to acquire infections, and gain lifelong immunity to a long list of pathogens. This Supreme Court ruling is an assault on human intelligence and human dignity.
