Resumo: This paper analyzes the characteristics of the contestation discourse against Covid-19 vaccines on Telegram Brazil. We identified four groups, from descriptors associated with the vaccine theme, that addressed the vaccine issue from December 2020 to February 2022. Using the Grounded Theory method, we performed a qualitative analysis of the main arguments, to contest vaccines, presented in those groups. The results reveal three lines of argument used to question Covid-19 vaccines: (1) fears about safety and efficacy, (2) claims of obscure interests in the management of the pandemic and the development of vaccines and (3) defense of freedom and privacy. the comprehension of those arguments aims to contribute to the development of strategies to contain the damage caused by misinformation regarding individual and collective health.

A partir de descritores associados ao tema da vacina, identificamos quatro grupos que abordaram a questão vacinal no período de dezembro de 2020 a fevereiro de 2022. Utilizando o método da Teoria Fundamentada, realizamos uma análise qualitativa dos principais argumentos apresentados para a contestação às vacinas nesses grupos. Os resultados revelam três linhas argumentativas utilizadas na contestação aos imunizantes contra Covid-19: (1) receios quanto à segurança e eficácia, (2) alegações de que existem interesses obscuros na gestão da pandemia e no desenvolvimento das vacinas e (3) defesa da liberdade e privacidade. A compreensão desses argumentos visa contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de contenção dos danos causados pela desinformação quanto à saúde individual e coletiva.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2023-03-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/12736110.19132/1807-8583.55.127361Intexto; No. 55 (2023); 127361Intexto; Núm. 55 (2023); 127361Intexto; No. 55 (2023); 127361Intexto; N. 55 (2023); 127361Intexto; n. 55 (2023); 1273611807-8583reponame:Intexto (Porto Alegre)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/127361/88117Copyright (c) 2023 Lídia Raquel Herculano Maia, Thaiane Oliveira, Luisa Massarani, Marcelo Alves dos Santos Júniorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaia, Lídia Raquel HerculanoOliveira, ThaianeMassarani, LuisaSantos Júnior, Marcelo Alves dos2023-12-13T15:30:34Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/127361Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intextoONGhttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intexto/oai||intexto@ufrgs.br1807-85831807-8583opendoar:2023-12-13T15:30:34Intexto (Porto Alegre) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
