As a part of the grant, KQED Science’s engagement team worked closely with researchers to dive deeper into audience engagement focusing on Deep Look, KQED’s popular YouTube science video series about small animals and the natural world. The series gives viewers an up-close perspective of creatures like spiders, hairworms, mites and ladybugs with its 3-4 minute videos shot in ultra-high definition. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KQED’s science engagement team is on the front lines of making sure our overall science content, which includes science news and our Deep Look videos, are shared and engaged with on our various social media platforms. One of the platforms we use daily to disseminate our science content is Facebook. To better understand the success of our efforts beyond the usual metrics we track, the science engagement team tested a few Deep Look grant-related research questions using Facebook as a parallel research tool to our grant’s more traditional survey related research. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More specifically, Facebook’s advertising platform provides us with the tools we need to conduct more in-depth audience research. Similar to other digital advertising tools such as Google, Twitter, YouTube, and others, Facebook allows users to reach an intended audience based on interest, age, gender and location. We launched a few Facebook advertising experiments comparing the success of engaging general audiences versus science-inclined audiences, which is a new process for us. Due to our limited advertising budget we generally optimize our advertising for science-inclined audiences for the most success. For these tests we were interested in finding new science-inclined audiences \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> audiences we were missing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, we’ll review some of the highlights of our Facebook experiments and findings relating to audience engagement with different types of Deep Look titles and images. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our digital video audience research specifically looked at the problem of gender disparity for our Deep Look series. Deep Look viewers are majority men with women representing only 30% of the audience. Our research is an effort to address this disparity. To summarize the findings from the research, here’s the gist of Deep Look’s questions that we were exploring in our Facebook experiments:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Disgust sensitivity:\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is disgust sensitivity a factor in why women decide not to click on our Deep Look content?

In creating an ad set, you are required to define your reach, budget, schedule, and most importantly, target audience. Once the ad sets have been created and the target audience and reach has been identified, the actual ads need to be created. The links, photos, descriptions, titles, and other aspects of the creatives are finalized in the ads section. For example, when we designed the Deep Look titles test on Facebook, we structured it as below: \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_16732\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-16732\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-800x449.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-800x449.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-768x431.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ad Campaign Structure on Facebook\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Measuring Metrics\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two metrics we focused on were the number of landing page views and the total reach of each ad. Landing page views refer to the number of times a person clicked on one of the ads and successfully loaded the destination webpage (here, our Deep Look page on KQED.org). Reach refers to the number of people who saw an ad at least once.

Result Rate is the percent of people reached who successfully opened the landing page.

unit of the San Francisco-based public media organization, had the opportunity to work with science communication researchers to better understand how to engage audiences with science content. As a part of the grant, KQED Science’s engagement team worked closely with researchers to dive deeper into audience engagement focusing on Deep Look, KQED’s popular YouTube science video series about small animals and the natural world. The series gives viewers an up-close perspective of creatures like spiders, hairworms, mites and ladybugs with its 3-4 minute videos shot in ultra-high definition. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KQED’s science engagement team is on the front lines of making sure our overall science content, which includes science news and our Deep Look videos, are shared and engaged with on our various social media platforms. One of the platforms we use daily to disseminate our science content is Facebook. To better understand the success of our efforts beyond the usual metrics we track, the science engagement team tested a few Deep Look grant-related research questions using Facebook as a parallel research tool to our grant’s more traditional survey related research. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More specifically, Facebook’s advertising platform provides us with the tools we need to conduct more in-depth audience research. Similar to other digital advertising tools such as Google, Twitter, YouTube, and others, Facebook allows users to reach an intended audience based on interest, age, gender and location. We launched a few Facebook advertising experiments comparing the success of engaging general audiences versus science-inclined audiences, which is a new process for us. Due to our limited advertising budget we generally optimize our advertising for science-inclined audiences for the most success. For these tests we were interested in finding new science-inclined audiences \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> audiences we were missing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, we’ll review some of the highlights of our Facebook experiments and findings relating to audience engagement with different types of Deep Look titles and images. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our digital video audience research specifically looked at the problem of gender disparity for our Deep Look series. Deep Look viewers are majority men with women representing only 30% of the audience. Our research is an effort to address this disparity. To summarize the findings from the research, here’s the gist of Deep Look’s questions that we were exploring in our Facebook experiments:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Disgust sensitivity:\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is disgust sensitivity a factor in why women decide not to click on our Deep Look content?

In creating an ad set, you are required to define your reach, budget, schedule, and most importantly, target audience. Once the ad sets have been created and the target audience and reach has been identified, the actual ads need to be created. The links, photos, descriptions, titles, and other aspects of the creatives are finalized in the ads section. For example, when we designed the Deep Look titles test on Facebook, we structured it as below: \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_16732\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-16732\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-800x449.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-800x449.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart-768x431.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/ad-campaign-chart.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ad Campaign Structure on Facebook\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Measuring Metrics\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two metrics we focused on were the number of landing page views and the total reach of each ad. Landing page views refer to the number of times a person clicked on one of the ads and successfully loaded the destination webpage (here, our Deep Look page on KQED.org). Reach refers to the number of people who saw an ad at least once.

Result Rate is the percent of people reached who successfully opened the landing page.

In comparison, the national average was 5% higher for females and 5% lower for males. Twitter derives demographic information from users that self-identify in their Twitter bios. From this information, Twitter can also determine professions and interests. The top professions engaging in San Francisco Bay Area COVID conversations were executives, scientists/researchers, and teachers/professors. Top interests were business, technology, and family and parenting.

Most of the misinformed conversation was fueled by President Trump, who advocated for the drug to be used for COVID-19 recovery, contrary to scientific evidence. Debate between health care professionals also occurred online, with varying opinions about the drug’s efficacy for the virus’s treatment. Harvey Risch, an epidemiology professor at Yale University, penned an opinion piece in Newsweek in July 2020 advocating for the drug’s use in treatment, fueling the online debate.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like hydroxychloroquine, \u003c/span>\u003cb>ingesting bleach\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or other household detergents became a conversation after Trump suggested injecting disinfectants as a potential cure at an April 2020 White House press conference. The conversation around this topic mostly involved voices urging the public not to take Trump’s idea seriously. Critics shared the dangerous consequences for anyone who did so and also posted news articles from around the country citing incidents of Americans actually ingesting bleach and other cleansers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">COVID-19’s \u003c/span>\u003cb>similarities to the influenza virus \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">also stirred controversy online and fueled misinformation (nearly 2,000 posts locally). Those who were skeptical about the seriousness of the coronavirus compared death rates and other data points with those for the flu as evidence that the two viruses were similar. They also pointed to Ebola virus and swine flu outbreaks, which eventually dissipated. Experts also entered the discussion to raise awareness of why the novel coronavirus couldn’t be compared to other viruses, citing different symptoms, infection rates and transmission paths.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The virus's bat-related \u003c/span>\u003cb>origins, \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">specifically the idea that transmission to humans had occurred through “bat soup,” was the topic that involved the most conspiracy theories, sparking racially insensitive discussions and misinformation. The main conspiracy theory shared was that an employee from the Wuhan lab spread the virus to a nearby animal market. Asian culture, cuisine, and general health were questioned and criticized as a result. Multiple experts and advocates entered the discussion to try to address the racism and dispel the myths. Scientists also shared the dangers of this narrative’s rhetoric by using examples from the past, as occurred during the Spanish flu pandemic and West Nile virus outbreaks.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, misinformation around \u003c/span>\u003cb>mask exemption cards \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">became a topic of heated debate. Multiple experts and advocates were quick to debunk fake mask exemption cards after various news sources highlighted cards that were unofficial. Per the cards’ instructions, which had no legal weight, cardholders could forgo wearing a mask for health or other personal reasons in stores and other public areas. Those that disseminated the misinformation often shared that only sick people needed to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID. Conspiracy theorists also shared misinformation that face masks were ineffective. Dr. Anthony Fauci was the person mentioned most frequently within this topic, and he was often criticized for stating at the beginning of the pandemic that the public didn’t need to wear masks.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003cb>Vaccine sentiment\u003c/b>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just over 8% of the Bay Area vaccine discussion was positive in sentiment, the same as the national average, before the vaccine were in use. However, San Francisco’s negative discussion about a COVID-19 vaccine was less than the nation’s (23% in San Francisco, 31% for the U.S.). When looking at specific emotions, conspiracy theories and other misinformation about vaccines drove a lot of “sad” and “disgust” perceptions among San Francisco residents, with most sharing their disapproval of misinformation being shared. However, it also drove expressions of “joy” in higher numbers than the nation as a whole. These residents were mostly hopeful that a vaccine would help end the pandemic. Sentiment is based upon emotive language used within the post and is detected by automatic keyword-based searches.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003cb>Reflections\u003c/b>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sheer number of conversations disseminating misinformation about the virus in 2020 was disheartening but not surprising. It’s refreshing, at least, to see some on Twitter come together to help dispel myths that emerged. This “infodemic” on social media makes it even more important for news organizations to report evidence-based information during a health crisis. We continue to be motivated and inspired to create content that is informative, accurate, timely, and reliable in order to fill knowledge gaps in our communities about the virus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can read the full report \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MjYL3Z2nr03_lnIVx6fVB7W1NGD0MYbi/view\">here\u003c/a> and attached below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[googleapps domain=\"drive\" dir=\"file/d/1MjYL3Z2nr03_lnIVx6fVB7W1NGD0MYbi/preview\" query=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-16044 \" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/kqed-nsf-ttu-only-logo-e1627668398714-800x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/kqed-nsf-ttu-only-logo-e1627668398714-800x169.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/kqed-nsf-ttu-only-logo-e1627668398714-1020x215.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/kqed-nsf-ttu-only-logo-e1627668398714-160x34.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/kqed-nsf-ttu-only-logo-e1627668398714-768x162.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/kqed-nsf-ttu-only-logo-e1627668398714.png 1133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" />\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more KQED coverage on the coronavirus, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">see here\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1644366274,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":true,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":19,"wordCount":1364},"headData":{"title":"COVID-19 Misinformation On Twitter During The Pandemic | KQED","description":"Specific reasons for why people believe what they believe are still a mystery, but it’s clear that false beliefs can be driven by the kind of overload of information that occurred during the coronavirus pandemic.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"COVID-19 Misinformation On Twitter During The Pandemic","datePublished":"2021-07-30T20:30:06.000Z","dateModified":"2022-02-09T00:24:34.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"16015 https://ww2.kqed.org/about/?p=16015&preview=true&preview_id=16015","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/about/2021/07/30/covid-19-misinformation/","disqusTitle":"COVID-19 Misinformation On Twitter During The Pandemic","source":"Rapid Response Research (RAPID)","WpOldSlug":"whats-keeping-women-from-watching-deep-look","nprByline":"Sarah Mohamad, Christopher Futrell (Brandwatch)","subhead":"COVID-19 Misinformation On Twitter During The Pandemic","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","showOnAuthorArchivePages":"Yes","path":"/about/16015/covid-19-misinformation","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We’ve read about how everyday people are \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1972169/why-so-many-people-believe-trump-really-won-the-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">susceptible to conspiracy theories\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and how a demonstrably false idea like the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1951190/flat-earth-believers-actually-love-science-they-just-like-conspiracies-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earth being flat can gain traction\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

We were specifically interested in sentiment around the vaccine and whether gaps in knowledge existed that could be addressed in KQED content creation.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003cb>Social Media Research Method\u003c/b>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One key analysis we undertook concerned the conversation on social media, mainly Twitter, around COVID. KQED worked with the researchers and analysts at social media listening platform Brandwatch to answer five main questions: \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is the volume of conversation among different audiences over time and on different online platforms around specific key narratives?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are the engagement metrics of news articles on COVID-19 disinformation narratives?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are the volumes of mentions per narrative in the San Francisco Bay Area versus the entire U.S.?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is the total reach/impressions of narratives in San Francisco versus the U.S.? \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is the sentiment expressed toward vaccines?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To find the answers, we captured Twitter conversations in both the San Francisco Bay Area and the U.S. between March 1 and Oct. 20, 2020.

In comparison, the national average was 5% higher for females and 5% lower for males. Twitter derives demographic information from users that self-identify in their Twitter bios. From this information, Twitter can also determine professions and interests. The top professions engaging in San Francisco Bay Area COVID conversations were executives, scientists/researchers, and teachers/professors. Top interests were business, technology, and family and parenting. The conversations drew many expert voices, most of whom attempted to dispel myths and raise awareness around scientific facts.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16038\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/demographic-image-800x366.png\" alt=\"COVID-19 Conversations on Twitter\" width=\"800\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/demographic-image-800x366.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/demographic-image-1020x466.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/demographic-image-160x73.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/demographic-image-768x351.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/07/demographic-image.png 1337w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003cb>Key Findings\u003c/b>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hydroxychloroquine\u003c/strong>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was the topic that sparked the most misinformation spread online (nearly 19,000 posts locally) and was one of the more politicized subjects. Most of the misinformed conversation was fueled by President Trump, who advocated for the drug to be used for COVID-19 recovery, contrary to scientific evidence. Debate between health care professionals also occurred online, with varying opinions about the drug’s efficacy for the virus’s treatment. Harvey Risch, an epidemiology professor at Yale University, penned an opinion piece in Newsweek in July 2020 advocating for the drug’s use in treatment, fueling the online debate.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like hydroxychloroquine, \u003c/span>\u003cb>ingesting bleach\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or other household detergents became a conversation after Trump suggested injecting disinfectants as a potential cure at an April 2020 White House press conference. The conversation around this topic mostly involved voices urging the public not to take Trump’s idea seriously. Critics shared the dangerous consequences for anyone who did so and also posted news articles from around the country citing incidents of Americans actually ingesting bleach and other cleansers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">COVID-19’s \u003c/span>\u003cb>similarities to the influenza virus \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">also stirred controversy online and fueled misinformation (nearly 2,000 posts locally). Those who were skeptical about the seriousness of the coronavirus compared death rates and other data points with those for the flu as evidence that the two viruses were similar. They also pointed to Ebola virus and swine flu outbreaks, which eventually dissipated. Experts also entered the discussion to raise awareness of why the novel coronavirus couldn’t be compared to other viruses, citing different symptoms, infection rates and transmission paths.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The virus's bat-related \u003c/span>\u003cb>origins, \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">specifically the idea that transmission to humans had occurred through “bat soup,” was the topic that involved the most conspiracy theories, sparking racially insensitive discussions and misinformation. The main conspiracy theory shared was that an employee from the Wuhan lab spread the virus to a nearby animal market. Asian culture, cuisine, and general health were questioned and criticized as a result. Multiple experts and advocates entered the discussion to try to address the racism and dispel the myths. Scientists also shared the dangers of this narrative’s rhetoric by using examples from the past, as occurred during the Spanish flu pandemic and West Nile virus outbreaks.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, misinformation around \u003c/span>\u003cb>mask exemption cards \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">became a topic of heated debate. Multiple experts and advocates were quick to debunk fake mask exemption cards after various news sources highlighted cards that were unofficial. Per the cards’ instructions, which had no legal weight, cardholders could forgo wearing a mask for health or other personal reasons in stores and other public areas. Those that disseminated the misinformation often shared that only sick people needed to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID. Conspiracy theorists also shared misinformation that face masks were ineffective. Dr. Anthony Fauci was the person mentioned most frequently within this topic, and he was often criticized for stating at the beginning of the pandemic that the public didn’t need to wear masks.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003cb>Vaccine sentiment\u003c/b>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just over 8% of the Bay Area vaccine discussion was positive in sentiment, the same as the national average, before the vaccine were in use. However, San Francisco’s negative discussion about a COVID-19 vaccine was less than the nation’s (23% in San Francisco, 31% for the U.S.). When looking at specific emotions, conspiracy theories and other misinformation about vaccines drove a lot of “sad” and “disgust” perceptions among San Francisco residents, with most sharing their disapproval of misinformation being shared. However, it also drove expressions of “joy” in higher numbers than the nation as a whole. These residents were mostly hopeful that a vaccine would help end the pandemic. Sentiment is based upon emotive language used within the post and is detected by automatic keyword-based searches.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003cb>Reflections\u003c/b>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sheer number of conversations disseminating misinformation about the virus in 2020 was disheartening but not surprising. It’s refreshing, at least, to see some on Twitter come together to help dispel myths that emerged. This “infodemic” on social media makes it even more important for news organizations to report evidence-based information during a health crisis.
