Abstract

We analyze the ways in which different researchers and health professionals in Argentina (physicians, biochemists, epidemiologists) develop their arguments against mass vaccination against COVID-19. In particular, we explore how these positions are related to the mobilization of scientific knowledge-or arguments compatible with scientific reasoning-and to issues related to other interests (professional, political, economic, among others). Our aim is to advance the understanding of a potentially contradictory position: that of researchers and health professionals who hold positions that contradict some of the principles that hegemonically articulate the professional field.

外星人、科学方法和风险。阿根廷卫生保健专业人员反对接种COVID-19疫苗

我们分析了阿根廷不同的研究人员和卫生专业人员（医生、生物化学家、流行病学家）如何提出反对大规模接种COVID-19疫苗的论点。特别是，我们探索这些立场如何与科学知识的动员或与科学推理相容的论点以及与其他利益（专业，政治，经济等）相关的问题相关。我们的目标是促进对潜在矛盾立场的理解：研究人员和卫生专业人员持有的立场与专业领域霸权表达的一些原则相矛盾。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
