This article aims to analyze the relationship between civil disobedience and the insurgent movement in Brazil against vaccination, and whether such an act would be housed by the constitutional guarantees for the defense of the rights of conscientious objectors. To this end, this article analyzes the institute of civil disobedience and how it can be considered a fundamental right inherent in the democratic process of the Democratic State of Law. Subsequently, this research displays a brief historical study about the vaccine revolt in Brazil as well as the contextualization of the contemporary anti-vaccine movement regarding coercive vaccination to reduce the effects of the catastrophic Covid-19 pandemic. The conclusion is that the contemporary anti-vaccine movement is not contextually related to anti-vaccine movements of the past, nor is it identified with an interpretation of the constitutional text that gives legitimacy to the practice of civil disobedience in the case in question, consisting of a purely organic-political movement without any legal or philosophical foundation to legitimize it. |
