Popis:Introduction: The need to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in regions with an elevated level of inequality generated complex ethical conflicts during the health crisis. Objectives: To analyze the ethical implications of inequalities in the context of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic in the first years of the disease in Brazil. Methodology: This is a qualitative investigation with triangulation of an integrative review method and thematic analysis. Results and Discussion: It was found that historical social, economic, and territorial inequalities were superimposed on factors that made women, Black people, elderly poor, and people from the peripheries even more vulnerable to the systemic damage of the pandemic. Final considerations: During the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic, pre-existing inequalities in Brazil intersected unjustly with new processes of illness and death, resulting in bioethical conflicts related to unjust treatment and moral vulnerability.
