The South American nation as of July had the world's third-highest death toll from the disease, which critics of President Jair Bolsonaro called the result of delays in obtaining vaccines and his repeated dismissal of the seriousness of the disease.

Representatives from the Terena and Guarani tribes joined the demonstration, some donning headdresses and black-and-red face paint.

"The companies that developed the vaccines, they first used them in their own countries," said Jackson Vilar, 43, who was collecting signatures on Sunday in favour of Bolsonaro on the same boulevard.
"The left takes that and uses it for all sorts of politicking, it's really ugly."
