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.

Operators seek tax holiday, subsidy to save airlines

Operators seek tax holiday, subsidy to save airlines Worried by the fate that awaits local carriers, operators yesterday, appealed to the Federal Government to introduce some economic recovery measures to safeguard airlines from collapse.    The operators, currently burdened by recurrent costs, are seeking aviation intervention fund at an interest rate of not more than five per cent. They suggested that government could take a cue from the American model of offering 50 per cent funding and grants, and 50 per cent palliatives through waivers and suspension of taxes, levies and fees among others.     Besides, they called for the implementation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Executive Order on Removal of Value Added Tax (VAT) from all forms of transportation; as domestic airlines are still the only forms of transportation paying VAT.    The current restriction of both local and foreign commercial flight services has forced domestic carriers into fin...

Senate to write Buhari over dead lawmaker on FCC board

Okwuru, the 12th on the 38-person list died in February 2020, aged 59.
