Carlos Wizard resigns from the Ministry of Health after defending “recount” of deaths by COVID-19; decision came after the billionaire's companies began to suffer a boycott of Brazilians

Billionaire Carlos Wizard will no longer take over the Secretariat at the Brazilian Ministry of Health. According to the G1 website, "in recent weeks, Wizard had been participating in meetings on the coronavirus pandemic. He was not nominated in the Federal Official Gazette and, therefore, also did not receive public money".

Carlos Wizard not only announced the recount of the deaths but also stated that the number presented by the Ministry of Health was unrealistic. After that, the ministry took the information from the official website. This caused a huge reaction in the country, including a strong campaign to boycott all brands linked to the billionaire Wizard, who, after losing money, decided to leave do government with even been officially hired.

After all, Wizard also says if any of his statements could have offended victims.

The development of this case indicates that it is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to support Bolsonaro's proto-fascist necropolitics. In this case, it became evident that for Wizard, as well as for other entrepreneurs, before Bolsonaro's support comes their business, and a boycott is everything a businessman doesn't want.
