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?

<strong> My mom and I have been into an unhealthy discussion on the family's whatsapp group.</strong> It didn't affected us that much, once we don't really care about online swearing. But, the thing is<strong> 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.</strong> We usually don't like to talk about politics with our family, because they are to stubborn to listen to other's opinions, but<strong> 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</strong>. Unfortunately and apparently, this is how things work in Brazil, so<strong> we were called names and decided to leave the group.</strong>
