This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Rosana Castro can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2023/07/hippocrates-against-protocols-experiments-experience-and-evidence-based-medicine-in-brazil/. About the post: This episode addresses the processes in which science is being claimed, shaken, disputed, and unpredictably rearticulated in Brazil's medical field. Specifically, It considers denialist practices and movements during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on an ethnographic approach to a variety of actions by medical groups and institutions that are critical of vaccination against Covid-19 and instead defend the use of drugs (considered ineffective by others) for the “early treatment” of the disease, this episode seeks to highlight how their practices rearticulate, transform, and dispute new meanings, values, and practices of science, rather than simply reject it. (This episode is available in additional languages on Platypus, The CASTAC Blog.)
