SUMMARY:

Brazil came to occupy second place in the absolute number of deaths from Covid-19 and, in March 2021, it was considered the global epicenter of the pandemic. The lack of adoption of alternatives for managing the health crisis that privileged the principles, methods and practices of epidemiological surveillance to combat it allowed this scenario. Added to this, scientific denialism on the part of the Brazilian federal government continued to be established in the country, with the perpetuation of discourses of contempt for universities and the rights of the most vulnerable populations. Thus, this thesis aims to analyze, in the light of Intervention Bioethics (BI), factors related to the Brazilian federal government's stance towards Covid-19. This is a Case Study with a qualitative approach. We opted for several sources of evidence, using the triangulation of data from documents relating to the period of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil and which were in accordance with the proposed objectives: (a) videos and texts of official statements by the federal government, carried out by the former President of the Republic, during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, 2020; (b) the final report of the Covid-19 CPI, carried out in 2021 in Brazil; (c) journalistic/news articles that recount important events in Brazil at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic; and (d) publications by ANVISA about the health guidelines for containing Covid-19 in Brazil, that is, which ethical parameters should be followed, according to the regulations published by that body. The results were analyzed using Thematic Content Analysis and are arranged in three sections: (1) published article entitled “The Covid-19 CPI: a bioethical analysis of what was revealed in the management of the pandemic”. This article aims to discuss, based on the main findings of the Covid-19 CPI, the stance of the Brazilian federal government and its consequences in the management of the pandemic, in light of BI; (2) article accepted for publication entitled “Bioethics, Brazilian official pronouncements and the Covid-19 pandemic: irresponsibility and lack of protection”. This article analyzes the official statements of the Brazilian federal government, made by Bolsonaro in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this critical analysis, the BI theoretical framework was used; (3) article under construction for subsequent submission entitled “Management of the Covid-19 Pandemic in perspective: bioethical inconsistencies between ANVISA and the Brazilian federal government”. This article presents data collected in ANVISA publications about health guidelines for combating the Covid-19 pandemic, and seeks to analyze, through BI, the bioethical inconsistencies between the measures proposed by the Agency and those adopted by the federal government. Based on the analysis carried out in this thesis, it is concluded that the bioethical precepts proposed by BI were not respected in confronting the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, highlighting the negligence, on the part of the Brazilian federal government, of ethical parameters such as solidarity, corporeality, responsibility, vulnerability, equity, justice and the 4 'feet' of BI that involve precaution, prudence, protection and prevention.
