Ciência e Covid-19: a construção de programas de pesquisa científica frente a cenários complexos e em contraponto ao contexto negacionista / Science and Covid-19: the construction of scientific research programs in view of complex scenarios and in counterpoint to the denialist context

Resume O papel que a ciência tem cumprido em relação à pandemia da Covid-19 está em franca discussão no Brasil e no mundo. Considerando a necessidade de aprofundar o debate sobre as concepções de ciência no presente contexto, assim como suas consequências, o objetivo deste ensaio é discutir, a partir de referenciais da epistemologia, o problema da demarcação entre ciência e não ciência, os programas de pesquisa científica e o negacionismo na pandemia. Na primeira parte do texto, apresenta-se a discussão da demarcação entre ciência e não ciência, com destaque para a proposição do filósofo Imre Lakatos sobre os programas de pesquisa científica e sua relação com as pesquisas sobre a Covid-19. Na segunda parte, argumenta-se sobre o negacionismo na pandemia da Covid-19 e sua relação com a necropolítica e o neofascismo. Por fim, discute-se a necessidade de incorporação da interdisciplinaridade, participação ativa dos sujeitos e garantia dos direitos humanos em programas de pesquisa científica sobre a Covid-19, assim como em outros temas de saúde pública.

Abstract The role that science has played in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic is in frank discussion in Brazil and in the world. Considering the need to deepen the debate on the conceptions of science in the present context, as well as its consequences, this essay aims to discuss, from epistemological references, the problem of the demarcation between science and non-science, scientific research programs and denialism in the pandemic. In the first part of the text, the discussion of the demarcation between science and non-science is presented, with emphasis on the proposition of philosopher Imre Lakatos on scientific research programs and their relationship with research on Covid-19. In the second part, an argument is made about denialism in the Covid-19 pandemic and its relationship with necropolitics and neo-fascism. Finally, the need to incorporate interdisciplinarity, the active participation of subjects and the guarantee of human rights in scientific research programs on Covid-19, as well as in other public health topics, is discussed.Resumo: O papel que a ciência tem cumprido em relação à pandemia da Covid-19 está em franca discussão no Brasil e no mundo.
