Pandemic denial was business, not belief, says Iamarino

Original: Na pandemia não foi negacionismo, foi negócios

Brazilian scientist and science communicator Átila Iamarino argues that Covid-era denialism in Brazil was driven by commercial interests rather than genuine disbelief in science. His claim — summed up as 'it wasn't denialism, it was business' — has drawn massive public engagement, with people debating who profited from anti-science positions during the pandemic and how those interests shaped public health policy.

Why now: Ongoing public reckoning in Brazil over who profited from pandemic-era misinformation keeps the topic alive.
