This book examines how unproven medical treatments became central to political, moral, and social life during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. It develops the concept of therapeutic moral authoritarianism to explain how health practices were mobilized as forms of agency and political expression in contexts of crisis and uncertainty.
