Abstract
Illegal production of medical materials, both pharmaceutical and technical, alternative medicine practiced without expertise and misinformation, are phenomena present in the obscurity of the law, which have maintained over time, a real illicit industry of medicine, with massive damage to health public. In the context of the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, while medical institutions around the world were struggling with the unknown, the lack of infrastructure needed to fight the virus, high
mortality and the rapid spread of infection, the market for counterfeit health care has seen an important opportunity to win, unscrupulously, against the background of the general terror created and the instinctual competition of the population to seek the most effective methods of protection and treatment. In principle, the development of this process is based on a real chain of weaknesses (misinformation, dissemination of medical information without scientific basis, the emergence of cheap and inadequate medical resources) that activates the sides of humanity predominantly in crisis situations.
