その他の書誌記述:The current massive inoculation of COVID preventive vaccines is the most recent event in which multinational pharmaceutic companies and medical science dependent on them, impose their vision of what the preventive medical treatments must be. Historically speaking, these have been based in a reductionist and mechanicist conception of human body and of the whole of living processes. This conception has been increasingly criticized in favor of a more integral, relational and whole-based visions of living beings. Without belittling the achievements of reductionist medical approach, I consider indispensable to take advantage of the present world-wide sanitary situation in order to open a critical reflection on the methodological foundations of hegemonic medicine. These efforts should be addressed to the construction of an ontological-epistemic plural medical science, stripped of its dependence in large pharmaceutical consortia.
