Urgent Considerations on the Relationship Between the Advance of Covid-19 in Indigenous Territories in Brazil and the Impacts of Monoepistemic Public Policies

Abstract: This paper seeks to deal with the advance of Covid-19 in indigenous territories in Brazil, whether urban or rural. To do so, we have gone through a general analysis of the Brazilian government's indigenous policies, comparing bulletins and data from the Special Secretariat of Indigenous Health—Secretaria Especial de Saúde Indígena, an agency linked to the Ministry of Health, as well as data from the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, the main Brazilian indigenous political movement. Furthermore, we … Show more

“…Estudos que analisaram a predisposição dos profissionais da área da saúde para o desenvolvimento da SB durante a pandemia mostraram que a falta de recursos, o alto número de mortes e de infectados, o medo de ser infectado e de infectar familiares e amigos 10,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] foram os fatores que mais contribuíram para o esgotamento profissional, que, concomitantes à sobrecarga de trabalho, estresse e esgotamento físico, ajudam a justificar a prevalência de SB encontrada. Nesse sentido, houve relatos na saúde indígena de que, pela falta de recursos disponibilizados aos profissionais 3 , indígenas confeccionaram máscaras e toucas para os profissionais de saúde aldeados, em vista da demora da SESAI em suprir a falta de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPIs) 26 .…”

“…It is worth noting that this excess of deaths is directly related to the fatal cases of COVID-19[ 56 ]. This scenario can be even more serious as studies also raise the possibility of under-reported cases of COVID-19, leading to the belief that these rates may have been higher[ 57 , 58 ], and even leading to the possibility of risk of the decimation of the entire indigenous villages in the southern region of the country[ 59 ].…”

“…Only in March 2021, 7 months after the ruling, the Ministry of Health presented a plan that was partially sanctioned by the Supreme Court [ 15 ]. Although the Indigenous population was later included as a priority group for the COVID-19 vaccination, the response of the Special Secretary of Indigenous Health to the pandemic failed to recognize the Indigenous Brazilians living in urban areas, leaving approximately 36% of the Indigenous population unassisted during an unprecedented public health emergency [ 11 , 16 ]. A study revealed that Indigenous Brazilians living in urban settings have a twofold higher prevalence rate of COVID-19 compared to the non-Indigenous population [ 17 ].…”

“…The vulnerability of Indigenous Brazilians—whether living in traditional lands or urban areas—to COVID-19 is shaped by a complex interplay of broader determinants of health that include social marginalization, poor housing conditions, structural racism, and colonial legacy [ 16 , 18 ]. Information collected by the Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), the widest movement of Indigenous Peoples from Brazil, reveals that 161 different Indigenous Peoples (53%) from all regions of Brazil were directly affected by the pandemic in 2020 [ 19 ].…”
