Marcos Cueto, the scientific<\/span>\u00a0editor of HCS-Manguinhos,\u00a0has just published a new article in\u00a0<\/span>The Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences<\/span><\/a>. This quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal was originally published by the Department of the History of Medicine at Yale University and is now continued by Oxford University Press.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his article\u00a0<\/span>“Pandemics know no borders,” but Responses to Pandemics Do: Global Health, COVID-19, and Latin America,<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Cueto\u00a0focuses on Brazil and Peru, the Latin American epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

He argues that the pandemic magnified the legacy of years of neoliberal policies, corruption, and racism in these countries, the limitations of their poverty-reduction programs, the fragility of their democratic systems, and the insufficient political regard for public health and basic sanitation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cueto relies\u00a0on the concepts of negligence and necropolitics – respectively, the abdication of authorities in providing sufficient basic services to its citizens and the banalization by governments of preventable deaths of discriminated social groups –\u00a0and\u00a0claims\u00a0that\u00a0on a global level, the problematic access to medical equipment and vaccines was a failure because of the hoarding of vaccines by wealthy nations and the blaming of developing countries for their high mortality.<\/span><\/p>\n

The result, as the article shows, was that national and international governmental reactions to COVID-19 worsened health asymmetries within countries and between the Global North and South.<\/span><\/p>\n
