He was born with an upside-down head and doctor didn’t expect him to survive more than a day.
Now 44-years later, Claudio Vieira de Oliveira continues to inspire & defy the odds.
The Brazilian de Oliveira suffers from arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, a rare condition that has left his head turned all the way back.
He recently came down with COVID.
The New York Post reports that he told the local news outlet G1:
“I’m in full-on quarantine because this COVID very aggressive, it’s lethal, so we’re scared. Spare me, God, from this damned illness.
I’m being over twice as careful, I’ve been isolating for over a year and I only leave the house to sort out things that only I can do, such as banking.”
De Oliveria is a motivational speaker and has written a book about his incredible life.
