{Abstract}: Brazil has high Covid-19 mortality rates, especially among those patients who are intubated. It is hypothetically considered that these rates may be related to the abusive use of medicines by the population. These drugs without scientific evidence are indicated by President Bolsonaro and his supporters but are also prescribed by doctors who follow this line. The text draws attention to the risks of this phenomenon.
