This study analyzes the coverage of Folha de S. Paulo and Gazeta do Povo regarding the actions of the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using content analysis, we examined how the newspapers portrayed the CFM’s stance on treatment and vaccination. “Early treatment” was the most frequent topic (40%), and “politicians” were the most cited actors (28%). While 96% of the texts published by Gazeta defended the CFM, 98% of those published by Folha criticized the institution.
