The ICC has jurisdiction on Brazilian territory, seeing that Congress included its statute into the Constitution – Sergio Lima/AFP
President Jair Bolsonaro had crimes against humanity charges filed against him at the International Criminal Court, by the Brazilian Association of Jurists for Democracy (ABJD), on Thursday (3rd). The legal experts claim that the Bolsonaro puts Brazilian lives at risk in the face of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The ICC was asked to begin judicial proceedings and investigate the president’s conduct. “By choice or omission, Bolsonaro is putting people’s lives at risk, committing crimes and necessitating a response by the International Criminal Court, in order to protect the lives of thousands of people,” state the jurists in the document filed by lawyers Ricardo Franco Pinto and Charles Kurmay.
In the filing, a list of actions the president undertook and defends is presented. Among them: pronouncements that incite the end of social isolation and the reopening of schools and non-essential services, as well promoting the “Brazil Must Not Stop” campaign; visits to shops and attending protests stimulating the populous to have large gatherings; and the signing of decree that allows places of worship and lotteries to be open during the pandemic.
“The crimes he committed gravely affect the mental and physical health of the Brazilian population, exposing them to a virus lethal to many sectors and with a scary rate of proliferation, as we have seen in many countries. The places that neglected the policy of quarantine are seeing the biggest impacts of the pandemic, like in Italy, Spain and the United States”, the complaint highlights […]

Yep, with the US in economic shambles and the troops all infected with COVID-19, Trump and his cronies will be helpless to stop them.

I agree the dangerousness of Covid-19 is being overhyped, but from what I read it’s both extremely contagious and lethal in low income people with poor nutritional levels. This was the main group that succumbed to the 1918 influenza. I think there’s some other agenda going on with the lockdown – almost like there’s been a deliberate decision to crash the economy. Countries that have enacted compulsory mask wearing (ie of home made masks made out of T-shirts) have accomplished the same reduction in transmission as the more economically damaging lockdowns have:

absolutely. but the strangeness surrounding this disease gets more and more strange, suggesting to me its a massive psyop. the mother of all in fact.

I could agree to that. The advanced level of mass hysteria essentially amounts to a psyop.

the above video has to be taken with a grain of salt. this other dr had me believing what she said was true. then i discovered she was a medical simulation specialist. whatever that is (a glorified crisis actor?)

The masks make sense, though. They don’t protect from aerosols but they do protect from droplets, which all the research indicates is the main method of transmission. Plus a cloth mask made from an old torn t-shirt costs nothing. The research cited in this video is consistent with all the other research I’ve scene – except for the bit about Italy.

fwiw. i was advised to wear a mask in public a couple of years ago due to my compromised immune system. but i didnt, because, as a black man, i didnt want to get shot. im more comfortable doing it now that its become common place.

I can see that. You would have to weight the relative risk: catching something vs getting shot.

If you’re black and living in the States you can do both simultaneously: catch a bullet.

Leaue, I take it you are writing from France. Good point about Covid becoming “strange” there. There is a big problem with false positives with the RT-PRC test they are doing with COVID. It’s a pity they aren’t testing people for influenza and secondary bacterial infections, because I suspect a large number of patients are dying from other respiratory diseases or underlying health problems. Thank you for your comment.
