There may be no group of people in the world more susceptible to the dangers of COVID than Brazil’s remote indigenous villages. Because of their isolation, their bodies have far fewer natural defenses against diseases and exposure to COVID could be a disaster for them.

The good news is that Brazil has sent medical teams to vaccinate some of those communities. In some cases, that required going in with weapons (like bows and arrows) because those tribes aren’t eager to meet with strangers. But at least the people are getting their shots.

The bad news is that many villages are refusing to get vaccinated because they’ve been brainwashed by Christian missionaries.
