Resumo
In the space of four decades, Brazil has faced two serious pandemics: human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The country’s response to HIV/AIDS was coordinated by several
stakeholders and recognised the importance of scientific evidence in guiding decision-making, and a network offering monitoring
and antiretroviral treatment was provided through coordinated efforts by the country’s universal health system. Conversely, the lack
of a centrally coordinated strategy and misalignment between government ministries regarding the COVID-19 pandemic response,
together with the denial of scientific evidence, promotion of ineffective treatments and insufficient vaccination efforts, have all led
to the uncontrolled spread of infection, the near-total collapse of the health system and excess deaths
