Same argument structure except one is the approved narrative (power for the left) and the other is not (undermining trust in "the science"). Power of the null hypothesis - which doubts are you supposed to ignore versus which doubts can never be dispelled.

Addendum: Bolsanaro's point is beyond that - it's that there are unknown risks and that the people who developed it have no tangible incentives to minimize those risks. This is actually one of the highest forms of thoughtcrime. How so?

The thought crime Bolsanaro is committing is implying that a priestly functionary needs incentives to avoid hurting people. The thought that incentives are needed is horrifically offensive to people who constantly hurt people with "good intentions".
