Works

In the 1980s and 1990s, he become known for writing columns for some of Brazil's major media outlets, such as the newspaper O Globo. In the 2000s, he began to use personal blogs and social media to convey his strongly conservative and anti-communist ideas.

Carvalho spread the false conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. He also made up the fake information that a book written by Fernando Haddad, the opponent of Jair Bolsonaro during the 2018 Brazilian general election, supported incest.

In a 2016 Twitter post, Carvalho said that "vaccines either kill you or drive you crazy. Never vaccinate your children."

In a January 2021 interview, Carvalho falsely claimed that election fraud took place in the 2020 American presidential election. During the same interview Carvalho falsely said that Joe Biden had Parkinson's disease and that Biden and Kamala Harris were working for the Chinese government.
