Resumo: The objective of this paper was to reflect on the presence of some eugenic signs being applied involuntarily, throughout the pandemic, by doctors and health professionals according to a biopolitical perspective. Eugenics can also be defined as a Science or method of human selection based mainly on biological premises and not related to religious incomprehension or clashes of a political-economic domination system. The COVID-19 pandemic is located in the national context under the biopolitical perspective and state racism, Foucaultian concepts. Health professionals faced many challenges during the health crisis, especially with regard to the choices they were forced to make, given that at certain times the health system collapsed in the country. We reflect on whether this choice of health professionals would be a new reading of eugenics in the pandemic context.

La eugenesia también puede definirse como una ciencia o método de selección humana basado principalmente en premisas biológicas y no relacionado con incomprensiones religiosas o choques con un sistema de dominación político-económica. La pandemia del COVID-19 se sitúa en el contexto nacional desde una perspectiva biopolítica y de racismo de Estado, conocidas como algunos de los conceptos foucaultianos. Los profesionales de la salud enfrentaron muchos desafíos durante la crisis sanitaria, especialmente en cuanto a las elecciones que se vieron obligados a tomar, dado que en ciertos momentos el sistema de salud colapsó en el país. Reflexionamos sobre si esta elección de profesionales de la salud podría ser una nueva lectura de la eugenesia en el contexto de la pandemia.O objetivo deste trabalho foi trazer a reflexão sobre a presença de alguns sinais eugênicos estarem sendo aplicados involuntariamente, ao longo da pandemia, por médicos e por outros profissionais de saúde de acordo com uma perspectiva biopolítica.
