Abstract

The objective of this work is to demonstrate how indigenous Pentecostals built a dynamic narrative of rejection of the COVID-19 vaccine. The introduction of vaccination in the indigenous reserve had little acceptance at the beginning, however, over time the population saw that there was no transformation of indigenous beings, at this time, the pastors change their discourse and start to play the threat of this type of treatment. In which is those who took the vaccine did not transform, then their future children may be born deformed. The consequence of this type of narrative meant that many indigenous people did not take the second dose of it. What is the logic of the symbolic effectiveness of this narrative if the indigenous population of the Dourados’ Reserve accepts other types of vaccines, such as measles, BCG, etc.
