During the COVID-19 pandemic, the negationism about health knowledge increases. Popular health education enables the problematization of this phenomenon, but it also faces new challenges: how to question scientism while negationism grows? Is it possible to defend science without delegitimizing popular knowledge? Based on these issues, we attempt to discuss the concepts of health education mobilized to face the pandemic. Then, we untangle the popularization of negationism, and finally we approach the relationship between science, criticism, and the decolonization of knowledge, especially discussing indigenous knowledge about the pandemic.Downloads
