The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the denialism disseminated especially through social networks and which was enhanced by presidential narratives influencing social behavior and the Brazilian response to the pandemic. The country had a health system with successful passages through previous health emergencies, representing an international example, such as confronting the Zika Virus and its relationship with congenital microcephaly and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, its response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized as one of the worst só far. Considering this context, the objective of this thesis is to characterize how Federal Government authorities employed subterfuge, arguments and disinformation strategies to deny the seriousness of the COVID-19 virus and the need for sanitary measures for its prevention and control. To this end, the denialism identified in the scientific literature, in experiences of previous health emergencies, in the CPI-Pandemic, and in the narratives shared by former president Jair Messias Bolsonaro from January to April, 2021 on social media Telegram was systematized. Each context was treated as an act, just like a play. The first consists of the contextualization of the covid-19 pandemic and the analysis of the Brazilian confrontation with previous health emergencies, contemplating its traces of denialism: the vaccine revolt (1904); the Spanish flu (1918-1920); the Zika virus and its relationship with microcephaly (2016) and the HIV/AIDS epidemic (1988 to date). The second act consists of research conducted considering white literature, identifying the context, structures, the role of science and strategies for mitigating scientific denialism. The third act is the analysis of narratives from representatives of the Ministry of Health and those who supported treatments without scientific evidence represented in the CPI-Pandemic established in the Federal Senate. In the fourth act, there is an analysis of the narratives present in the profile of former president Jair Messias Bolsonaro from January to April on Telegram. The research has a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory approach. The perspective for data analysis and interpretation was Narrative Analysis, in the third and fourth acts Critical Discourse Analysis was incorporated aiming to understand the strategies for legitimizing the narratives. Denialism, especially with social media, takes on new contours, related to modes of domination, patrimonialism, patriarchy and capitalism, manifested during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such contours highlighted denialism that is harmful to public health and its reframing, incorporating these new contours, is essential to enable a more positive response to future health emergencies.
