Perhaps because Bolsonaro is famous for spreading disinformation, which - like Twittler, Duterte, Pompeo, and other authoritarian pricks - is spread with the excuse at a later date that they were just joking. They and their teams are professional trolls.

Sorry, big word, meaning: 'deliberately misleading'

I know, men with normal amounts of testosterone can lead weaklings to believe they are misleading.

It's called 'expanding the envelope' with 'dog whistles' - to repeat lies that are also on many occasions obviously preposterous, but because of the source (leader of a nation) are read as potentially imortant, and for those who want to hear an anti-vax message will hear an anti-vax message, like a dog hears high pitched whistles that humans cannot hear. These messages are calculated.

Good, we need more similar messages to wake people the fuck up.

Thanks, whistlepig. You so smart. Indeed, there is no nuance to Bolsonaro's trolling.
