Abstract
This article aims to encourage debate and reflection on “vaccine apartheid”, based on a health analysis from the perspective of aporophobia. The study is based on the hypothetical-deductive method and is guided by a bibliographical approach. First, the phenomenon of “vaccine apartheid” triggered by the COVID-19 transpandemic is studied. Lastly, the operationalization of the Ômicron variant is analyzed based on the relationship between poverty and health, from the perspective of the Metatheory of Fraternal Law, articulated by the Italian jurist Eligio Resta. Finally, it appears that, in the face of the “vaccine apartheid” system oriented by the COVID-19 transpandemic in world society, fraternity, as a mechanism for enforcing rights, has the potential to reveal the complex paradoxes instilled by the harmful performance of the variant Omicron from the sanitary relationship between aporophobia and health.
