Facebook has removed a video in which Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro warned of a supposed link between Covid-19 vaccines and AIDS.

The far-right leader's latest run-in with the social network he relies on to rally his base came after he cited purported "official reports" from the British government – since debunked – in his weekly live address on Facebook last Thursday.
