Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro holds up his hydroxychloroquine pills to a cheering crowd and takes off his mask as supporters turn out to greet him despite his coronavirus infection
Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro held his hydroxychloroquine pills aloft like a trophy last night as he rallied with a crowd of supporters despite his coronavirus infection.
Bolsonaro greeted his fans outside the presidential palace in Brasilia where he has been in quarantine since announcing his positive test result on July 7.
Supporters cheered as Bolsonaro showed off the unproven anti-malaria drug which he claims is making him better, before removing his mask to tell the crowd that 'the pandemic was unfortunate, but we will overcome it'.
While Bolsonaro kept his distance from across a stream, his supporters were packed on the waterside in spite of social distancing rules which he has repeatedly scorned.
The 65-year-old former army captain has raged against lockdowns despite the country's enormous death toll, after dismissing the virus as a 'little flu'.
Bolsonaro announced on Wednesday that he was still positive for the virus, but says he is not experiencing symptoms and credits his good health to hydroxychloroquine.
'I am not recommending anything. I recommend that you talk to your doctor. In my case, a military doctor recommended hydroxychloroquine, and it worked,' he said.
Like Donald Trump, Bolsonaro has touted hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19 but its effectiveness against the disease has not been proven.
'We know that there is no scientific evidence, but it worked with me,' Bolsonaro said on Wednesday.
'The future will say whether that remedy is effective or not. It was for me. I believe in it. If it was, a lot of people were wrong. People with responsibility.'
Bolsonaro previously told critics of the drug that 'I regret to inform you I'm very well and will live for a long time'.
Besides hydroxychloroquine, Bolsonaro says he is also taking an anti-parasite drug to fight coronavirus.
Bolsonaro's administration has now gone two months without a full-time health minister after losing two of them during the pandemic.
Interim minister Eduardo Pazuello, a military general who had no experience in the field before April, is already facing pressure to leave the job.
He took over after his predecessor Nelson Teich, a doctor and health care consultant, quit in protest over Bolsonaro's support for the use of hydroxychloroquine.
The president's office says Bolsonaro is still working by video conference at his official Alvorada Palace residence in the capital.
He told CNN on Monday that he 'can't stand this routine of staying at home' and said he was waiting 'anxiously' to be given the all-clear to leave the house.

Brazilian Health Minister Teich resigns after just weeks in job
Brazilian Health Minister Nelson Teich resigned on Friday after just weeks in the job. President Jair Bolsonaro had criticized Teich as being too timid in the push to reopen the economy and to advocate the use of anti-malarial drugs.
Military members of the Brazilian cabinet are pushing for deputy health minister Eduardo Pazuello, an army general on active duty, to become the new health minister, making permanent his interim role, Reuters reported, citing a government source.
Teich is the second health minister to resign amid the pandemic in Brazil. He replaced Nelson Mandetta, who was fired on April 16 for reportedly resisting Bolsonaro's pressure to fight state government social-distancing orders.
This week Brazil passed Germany and France in coronavirus cases, with more than 200,000 confirmed diagnoses by Thursday. The Health Ministry reported 844 new deaths, bringing the death toll to 13,933. Bolsonaro's handling of the Covid-19 crisis has been widely criticized globally.
