Facebook and YouTube have removed from their platforms a video by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in which the far-right leader made a false claim that Covid-19 vaccines were linked with developing AIDS.

Both Facebook and Alphabet Inc's YouTube said the video, which was recorded on Thursday, violated their policies.

“Our policies don't allow claims that Covid-19 vaccines kill or seriously harm people,” a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement, according to Reuters.
