DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING 2: Credibility of prestigious or authoritative people
It can often happen that information is received through a famous person or with some authority (political, religious, cultural, scientific...). However, having a reputation or authority does not guarantee the authenticity of the information, even if the person is a scientific authority.

DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING 2: Credibility of prestigious or authoritative people
To believe an information we have in our hands it is very important to know who is the author of this statement and if you are an expert in the field of it. It is essential to know the opinion of other experts about what is said, to know the opinion of the scientific community, for example if we talk about a scientific news.
For example:
The prestigious singer Miguel Bosé: Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Bos took a major role in constantly questioning measures to curb the spread of the disease through social networks, references to conspiracy theories and the relationship of measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 with the vaccine market and 5G.
The statements made by the singer have no scientific rigor and have been denied, but some of his followers have believed and disseminated his opinion, as well as skeptics against the measures of dissemination of the pandemic.
