Have you or people in your community been harassed, threatened, or attacked since the pandemic began, either in person or online? If so, what happened?

My mom and I have been into an unhealthy discussion on the family's whatsapp group. It didn't affected us that much, once we don't really care about online swearing. But, the thing is my uncles were spreading fake news and supporting the president Bolsonaro with his denials about the dangerousness of the virus and the urgency of getting vaccinated. We usually don't like to talk about politics with our family, because they are to stubborn to listen to other's opinions, but this isn't just politics. We are talking about lives. The huge loss of lives in our country. I don't want the people close to me to realize how deadly this virus is only when they get sick or someone they love. Unfortunately and apparently, this is how things work in Brazil, so we were called names and decided to leave the group.
