The global Covid-19 pandemic has put a fierce spotlight on the
relationship between scientists and policy makers. Leaders across
the world have responded to the science with everything from
respect to scepticism. Foremost amongst the sceptics, president
Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, one of the countries hit hardest by the

President in the name of science. But is she winning the
