Permeated by an informational conjuncture that contemplates human relations and artificial intelligence systems, the networks that are established in sociodigital platforms operate, in contemporary times, under the influence of a context of disinformation. In the Brazilian scenario, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with evidence in the first two years, the propagation of information in a superficial, decontextualized, biased, disleading way, was a striking feature in the conduct adopted by the Federal Government, especially in the statements and postures adopted by President Jair Bolsonaro. Given this scenario, this research was conceived, based on the following question: How can the correlation between disinformation practices and the perspective of constitution of a disinformation regime associated with the pandemic of COVID -19 be understood, from the interviews granted by President Jair Bolsonaro, between 2020 and 2022? This research presents the thesis that the disinformation categories related to the COVID-19 pandemic and disseminated by President Jair Bolsonaro, understood in this work as disinformational practices, contributed to the constitution of a disinformation regime that, situated in the social environment of post-truth, is characterized by a game of necropolitics instrumentalized by an informational production with a neo-fascist bias, aimed at the constitution and preservation of a hyper image of President Jair Bolsonaro, to conceal the deceptions of the federal management in health and in the political, economic, and social spheres, with the use of strategic tricks, possibly to hide errors in government management, preserve status, or win popular support. Methodologically, the research is characterized as empirical, correlational, of qualitative approach, with content analysis method, from the mixed model of systematization of categories. The selected empirical cut refers to the categories of disinformation verified by the fact-checking agency ―Aos Fatos‖, with a false seal, which integrate the special ―Todas as falas de Bolsonaro checadas‖, filtered by the category ―Coronavirus‖, and with the screening only in the interviews disseminated in socio-digital platforms or collected during public activities in the first two years of the pandemic. As a result, the research culminated in a conceptual network of the disinfodemic of COVID-19 in Brazil, scrutinizing the disinformational practices used by President Jair Bolsonaro related to the discrediting of scientific authorities, the distortions about the severity of the disease, combat measures, vaccine effectiveness, indication of drugs and treatments without proven effect, composing a disinfodemic and configuring the Brazilian disinformation regime. From the epistemological point of view, this study offers new insights into two concepts of Information Science: information regime and informational practices, in an attempt to adapt them to a social environment in which disinformation operates in the transformation of structures and notions established over time. Moreover, this content can be configured as a dossier, which adds to some other reports produced by political and judicial bodies in the country, with reports of negligence and necropolitics practiced in Brazil through the disinfodemy of COVID-19.
