BRAZIL's Jair Bolsonaro has claimed the Covid vaccine could turn people into "crocodiles" and give women "beards" in a bizarre rant.
The strongman president, who previously dismissed the disease as a “little flu”, also said the Pfizer jab could give men “effeminate voices.”
This comes after Bolsonaro, who tested positive in July after ignoring social distancing guidelines, said he would not get the vaccine because he has “antibodies” dismissing his critics as “idiots.”
He said: "In the Pfizer contract, it's very clear. 'We're not responsible for any side effects.' If you turn into a crocodile, that's your problem.
"If you become superhuman, if a woman starts to grow a beard or if a man starts to speak with an effeminate voice, they [Pfizer] won't have anything to do with it.”
Speaking about his refusal to get vaccinated, the Brazilian President said: “Some people say I'm giving a bad example.
“But to the imbeciles, to the idiots that say this, I tell them I've already caught the virus, I have the antibodies, so why get vaccinated?"
