In order to battle the virus of distrust, fed by fake health news circulating on the internet -- particularly in times of coronavirus -- the solution is to resort to experts such as scientists and professors, activities shared by Hippocrates, Augustine of Hippo and Kepler. From our point of view, the three are amongst those highly regarded sources for becoming well informed of events and uncovering fake news which, as a general rule, is spread by a tweet or a notification which pops up on one's smartphone. In our opinion, the basis of truthful information is not offered by technology as an end in itself. It is the spirit of deep convictions that defines the objectivity underlying the verifiable fact [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
