Photos of the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro have gone viral on social media after the president was seen eating pizza on the sidewalk of a New York City restaurant.
The Brazilian president was banned from eating inside the American restaurant because he is not vaccinated. Instead he was caught along with his delegation on cameras eating their dinner on the sidewalk after being refused from indoor dining, media sources said on Wednesday.

Bolsonaro has landed in New York City in order to participate in the UN’s 76th Session of the UN General Assembly with the presence of over 100 heads of state or government attending the session in person.
The anti-vaxxer Brazilian president confessed that COVID-19 is not a major issue nor a pandemic, arguing that it is merely “a little flu” and claiming that his athletic past would protect him from its worse consequences.
