Brazil's President Bolsonaro says he's ignoring WHO Coronavirus directives because the organisation promotes 'masturbation' for children under the age of four

Brazil

Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro has revealed why he refused to follow WHO directives on social distancing in the fight against Coronavirus.  

In a bizarre Facebook post, which has been removed from his social media platform, Bolsonaro accused the organization of promoting 'masturbation' in children under four as he questioned the WHO's authority on Coronavirus.

The 65-year-old pointed out WHO's alleged recommendation that children under four derive 'satisfaction and pleasure upon touching their own body *masturbation*'. 

On his official Facebook page, Bolsonaro wrote: 'This is the World Health Organization (WHO) who many say I must follow in the coronavirus case.

'Should we also follow their guidelines for educational policies too?: For children from 0 to 4 years of age: Satisfaction and pleasure upon touching their own body, *masturbation*.

 

'Expressing their needs and desire, for example, in the context of "playing doctor". Children have sexual feelings in their early infancy.'

He went on to say that the WHO said of children aged four to six 'have a positive gender identity. Enjoyment and pleasure upon touching their own body; masturbation in early childhood.'

Bolsonaro was citing a 2010 guide by the Federal Centre for Health Education with the European arm of the WHO.

According to Mail Online, the text Bolsonaro referenced is designed to help parents to educate their children who between two and four are becoming curious about their own bodies and noticing their difference to others. 

As they are curious they begin to touch their sexual organs and want to show them to other children or adults, according to the WHO. 

The guide didn't advise parents to encourage their children to masturbate, but to rather speak to them about this phase in their young lives, reassuring them that 'liking physical contact is common' and normal.

President Bolsonaro has repeatedly attacked the WHO for its coronavirus directives, saying Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus 'is not a doctor', adding: 'It's like if the president of Caixa (a Brazilian bank) weren't from economics'.

According to research from Johns Hopkins University, Brazil has 79,685 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 5,513 deaths to date.

 See how Tinubu reacts to #EndSARS protests, says police reforms has begun National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu has said the protest against police brutality in Nigeria is within the constitutional right of Nigerians. “Asiwaju Tinubu believes in the right of Nigerians to freedom of expression, assembly, and protest where and when necessary, he has always canvassed the need for people to explore peaceful channels to ventilate their views and demands,” Tinubu said in a statement by his media aide Tunde Rahman. “He believes the #EndSARS protesters have made their demands, which the Federal Government is studying.” Tinubu’s statement comes after being alleged of being one of the sponsors of the ongoing nationwide protest against brutality, extortion, harassment and extrajudicial killing by police personnel. The Cattle’s Breeders Association known as Miyetti Allah had earlier accused Tinubu of using the protest to distort the administration of President Muh...

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran US President Donald Trump, has vetoed the Iran War Powers resolution agreed by the Senate and House of Representatives, calling it a "very insulting resolution" and argued the move of the Lawmakers was "based on misunderstandings of facts and law" in a statement. The bipartisan resolution was created to limit Trump's authority to use military force against Iran without congressional approval, after the President's decision to order a strike that killed Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in January. Before a resolution is made a law in the US, the Senate, House of Reps have to vote on it, when an agreement is reached it is then sent to the White House for the President to sign. Presidents sometimes veto laws, but the US Senate must have over 2/3rds of votes to override a President's veto, a scenario unlikely to occur. Trump in a statement issued by the ...

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday renewed his widely contested charge that the coronavirus pandemic likely originated in a Chinese laboratory, but acknowledged there was no certainty. Pompeo renewed his call for global pressure on China to provide more data on the origins of the illness, which has killed more than 250,000 people worldwide and hobbled the global economy. “We don’t have certainty, and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory. Those statements can both be true,” the former CIA chief told reporters when pressed on his statements. “The American people remain at risk because we do not know … whether it began in the lab or whether it began someplace else,” he said. “There’s an easy way to find out the answer to that — transparency, openness — the kinds of things that nations do when they really want to be part of solving a global pandemic.” Pompeo  ha...
