Resumo: The text discusses the difficulties to face COVID-19 raised by the speech and the actions defended by the federal government. In contrast to the governments of countries that have achieved effective results in controlling the pandemic, representatives of the Brazilian government, among which the President of the Republic stands out, are continually disqualify publicly both risks and the adoption of scientifically based prevention measures, in particular social isolation, defending, in its place, the so-called ‘herd immunity’. The reiterated argument is that there is an opposition between the preservation of the economy and life, the former being a priority. Such manifestations are accompanied by constraints on state and municipal governments in carrying out locally defined preventive measures. This attitude expresses contempt for human life and an acute disregard for the socially most vulnerable population, which, in countries with chronic inequalities, such as Brazil, suffer the most serious effects of an epidemic.

A diferencia de los gobiernos de los países que han logrado resultados efectivos en el control de la pandemia, los representantes del gobierno brasileño, entre los que se destaca el Presidente de la República, continuamente hace declaraciones públicas en las que descalifica tanto los riesgos como la adopción de medidas de prevención con base científica, especialmente el aislamiento social, defendiendo, en su lugar, la llamada ‘inmunidad colectiva’. El argumento reiterado es que existe una oposición entre la preservación de la economía y la vida, siendo la primera opción una prioridad. Dichas manifestaciones son acompañadas de limitaciones para que los gobiernos estatales y municipales puedan llevar a cabo acciones de prevención definidas localmente. Esta actitud expresa el desprecio por la vida humana y una profunda falta de respeto a la población más vulnerable, que, en países con desigualdades crónicas, como Brasil, sufren los efectos más graves de una epidemia.O texto discute as dificuldades para o enfrentamento do Covid-19 suscitadas pelo discurso e pelas ações defendidas por parte do governo federal. Em contraste com os governantes de países que obtiveram e00279111resultados eficazes no controle da pandemia, representantes do governo brasileiro, entre os quais se destaca o Presidente da República, vêm continuamente a público desqualificar tanto os riscos, quanto a adoção das medidas de prevenção fundamentadas cientificamente, em especial o isolamento social, defendendo, em seu lugar, a denominada ‘imunidade de rebanho’. O argumento reiterado é que existe uma oposição entre a preservação da economia e da vida, sendo prioritária a primeira. Tais manifestações vêm acompanhadas de constrangimentos para que governos estaduais e municipais possam efetivar ações de prevenção localmente definidas. Essa postura expressa o desprezo pela vida humana e uma aguda desconsideração com a população socialmente mais vulnerável, que, em países com desigualdades crônicas, como Brasil, sofrem os efeitos mais graves de uma epidemia.Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venâncio, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz2022-06-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion`Convidadoapplication/pdfhttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tes/article/view/75410.1590/1981-7746-sol00279Trabalho, Educação e Saúde; v. 18 n. 3 (2020)1981-7746reponame:Trabalho, Educação e Saúde (Online)instname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tes/article/view/754/99Copyright (c) 2022 Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venânciohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCampos, Gastão Wagner de Sousa 2022-06-09T16:17:04Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/754Revistahttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tesPUBhttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tes/oairevtes@fiocruz.br1981-77461678-1007opendoar:2024-03-06T13:00:50.647101Trabalho, Educação e Saúde (Online) - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
