Prominent domains posting on Facebook and other media sites are sharply divided when it comes to conversations on the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a commentator on Medium, a site that doesn’t censor your posts as long as you follow their guidelines.
“On one side lies traditional media (both right-wing and left-wing) that is being shared and discussed within a cluster of pro-science and liberal communities. On the other lies content originating on YouTube, antivax and pro-life websites, as well as on Russian propaganda media outlet RT, shared by a growing anti-science movement comprising conspiracy theory believers (such as the qanon communities), natural healing die-hards, far right fans and, of course, anti-vaxxers,” says poster AdiCo.
To get an idea where the differing opinions stand in cyberspace, AdiCo provides several colorful graphics. Interestingly, ClinicalTrials.gov is included on a graphic depicting the “anti-science” clusters. On a “pro-science” graphic, several activist groups are prominent, including the “Anthony Fauci Fan Club” and “I Watch Rachel Maddow” club.
