Introdução: Há um crescimento de movimentos negacionistas em escala global. Durante a pandemia de coronavírus, foram divulgadas informações incorretas sobre medicamentos que supostamente apresentariam eficácia, com destaque para países governados por líderes populistas, incluindo o Brasil.
Objetivo: Analisar como movimentos de negação científica se consolidaram durante a pandemia da COVID-19.
Métodos: Foi realizada uma análise das evidências sobre a consolidação desses movimentos no Brasil, com foco na atuação de grupos em redes sociais e em setores organizados.
Resultados: No Brasil, observou-se o apoio de segmentos específicos, incluindo parte da comunidade médica, ao movimento negacionista. Identificou-se um componente de resistência à ciência e à imprensa, com reações agressivas contra posições divergentes.
Conclusão: O estudo aponta riscos associados à consolidação desse tipo de movimento no Brasil, ressaltando a necessidade de respostas organizadas por parte da sociedade para mitigar seus impactos.
