Covid denialist and Bolsonaro ally Olavo de Carvalho died of virus

From Facebook, Brazil Solidarity Initiative:

"After spreading lies, misinformation and hate throughout the pandemic, Bolsonaro's far-right "guru" has died of the coronavirus."

Covid denialist and Bolsonaro ally Olavo de Carvalho died of virus, says daughter

.... Carvalho – a former astrologer who repeatedly trivialized Covid as the “moronavirus” – had died. However, his estranged daughter, Heloísa de Carvalho, said coronavirus was the cause.

“He has blood on his hands,” she told the magazine Veja, blaming her father’s “denialist ideas” and dissemination of fake news for the Brazilian government’s delay in purchasing Covid vaccines. “But I do not celebrate his death.”

Bolsonaro – whose shock 2018 election was turbocharged by Carvalho’s extreme and often expletive-ridden teachings – lamented the loss of “one of the greatest thinkers in our country’s history” and declared a national day of mourning. ............
