SARS-COV-2: pandemia, negacionismo científico populista de extrema direita e a utilização off label de medicamentos

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, known as the new coronavirus, is one of the biggest health crisis in history. Some governments characterized as far-right populists, have adopted speeches and public policies in favor of a drug kit that is supposed to slow the clinical worsening of patients infected with the virus. This article combined analyses from the scope of pharmacology, virology and human sciences to highlight the lack of scientific proof for these drugs effectiveness and the interpretations for these leaders behavior, notably Bolsonaro and Trump, as well as some evidence that this kind of politicization in combating the pandemic implies, directly or indirectly, failure to comply with protective measures and an increase in the number of infection cases and deaths by COVID-19..
