Brazilian Covid

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told President Joe Biden, “This morning, three Brazilian people died from the Covid-19 immunization.”

The blood drained from the President’s face and, to everyone’s amazement, Biden collapsed on the floor. A minute passed, and to everyone’s relief, he got up and slowly sat back in his chair. His staff was stunned, watching this display of emotion from the Commander in Chief, as he sat there, head in hands.

Finally, Joe looked up, and with a shaky quivering voice, asked Dr. Fauci, “How many is a Brazilian?”
