Abstract: Analyze the contradictions that the COVID-19 pandemic highlights, from official documents published in Brazil and in France, in the light of the theoretical and methodological framework of Institutional Analysis. Qualitative, documentary, retrospective, multicentric study, having as primary source the Brazilian and French legislation, such as laws, decrees, ordinances, resolutions and provisional measures, made available electronically. Data were collected between the months of April and July 2020, from official Brazilian documents published from February 3 to June 4, 2020 and French official documents published from January 24 to July 10, 2020. The material analyzed was composed of 553 Brazilian and 768 French documents. The contradictions exposed by the analyzer COVID-19 Pandemic were: 1) the hospital and the medicalization that deals with the centrality in the structuring of specialized centers, with low investments in measures in the territories, in primary health care and in health promotion; 2) Normalization and vulnerabilities that deal with the measures applicable to the middle classes, making poverty and the difference of social classes invisible, and also the affirmation and denial of hegemonic science. The pandemic presents itself as a powerful historical analyzer, as it gives visibility and sayability to the contradictions in health management. The market logic in health materializes itself, in which current characteristics of biopower and of neoliberalism homogenize social ways of living, imposing the erasure of differences. There is also the affirmation of the centrality of the hospital and medicalization.
