Resumo: An analysis of an archive formed by editorials from two of the most important Brazilian newspapers during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic identified the predominance of a framing that attributed decisions of the Bolsonaro government to a denial of science. Based on historical and sociological sources, this paper discusses what this normative framing about science and health ignored, especially how the extreme-right adapted use of the paradigm of disinformation created by the tobacco industry to the new mediatic ecosystem. The paper concludes that the journalistic framing of science denialism emphasized criticisms that accused the state of incompetence, giving less visibility to the role of the federal Unified Healthcare System during the health emergency.

A partir de fuentes históricas y sociológicas, este artículo analiza qué este enfoque normativo sobre ciencia y salud ha ignorado, en especial, cómo la extrema derecha adaptó el uso del paradigma de la desinformación creado por la industria tabacalera al nuevo ecosistema mediático. El artículo concluye que el enfoque periodístico del negacionismo científico enfatizó las críticas que acusaban al estado de incompetencia, haciendo menos visible el papel del Sistema Único de Salud federal durante la emergencia sanitaria.  A análise de um arquivo formado por editoriais de dois dos mais importantes jornais brasileiros durante os dois primeiros anos da pandemia de Covid-19 identificou a predominância de um enquadramento que atribuiu as decisões do governo Bolsonaro ao negacionismo científico. A partir de fontes históricas e sociológicas, este artigo discute o que ficou de fora desse enquadramento normativo sobre ciência e saúde, em especial como a extrema-direita adaptou para o novo ecossistema midiático o uso do paradigma da desinformação criado por indústrias cancerígenas. O artigo conclui que o enquadramento jornalístico do negacionismo priorizou críticas à incompetência do Estado, dando menor visibilidade ao papel do Sistema Único de Saúde na urgência sanitária.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2023-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/12309010.1590/18070337-123090SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 25 (2023): Volume únicoSOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 25 (2023): Volume únicoSociologias; v. 25 (2023): Volume único1807-03371517-4522reponame:Sociologias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporenghttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/123090/88935https://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/123090/88936Copyright (c) 2023 Richard Miskolcihttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMiskolci, Richard2023-10-06T01:13:24Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/123090Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologiasPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologias/oai||revsoc@ufrgs.br1807-03371517-4522opendoar:2023-10-06T01:13:24Sociologias (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
