Manipulation, media and methods in the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been questions about the work of science by certain politicians whose opinions lead to practices that are sometimes shady and dangerous for the health of the population. The experience with this virus is new, although its knowledge is advancing, it has represented challenges given its effects at global level, in public health, economically and socially. Populist politicians prefer simple messages that penetrate easily or half-truths according to their interests and charms that they show as truths, that move the emotions. Informed opinion must be skeptical of these messages.
