Abstract
El ensayo organiza y presenta el debate suscitado entre dos corrientes de pensamiento, a raíz de la
pandemia de influenza de 2009. Las posiciones involucradas en el debate están representadas, de
un lado, por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y, de otro, por las perspectivas críticas,
principalmente la asumida por la corriente latinoamericana de medicina social. El debate se ha
centrado en el concepto de pandemia, la causalidad que se le ha atribuido a las pandemias y la
respuesta que en coherencia se ha propuesto y emitido. En el desarrollo del ensayo se presentan
críticamente las dos posiciones y se exponen al final del texto algunas conclusiones que, por
definición propia, pero también porque la inmersión en el debate así lo amerita, están inscritas
en el marco de las perspectivas críticas.
