Using big data to understand the online ecology of COVID-19 | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This study investigates COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy using YouTube comments. Analysis of 43,203 comments reveals polarized views, with hesitancy stemming from concerns about vaccine safety, side effects, and distrust in government and pharmaceutical companies. Political affiliations significantly influenced vaccine decisions, and anti-vaccine misinformation fueled hesitancy. The study suggests crafting evidence-based social media messages to address these concerns.
