Abstract

This chapter addresses the creation of political conflict on Twitter in a comparative study between Brazil and Spain. Based on an analysis of the political debate on dealing with two countries' health crises, it analyses the most retweeted messages published during the first week of vaccination in Europe and the Americas. Firstly, it analysed the general characteristics of the online debate on the immunisation of COVID-19. Secondly, it carried out an analysis of information disorder in each country. Although governmental positions in both countries are opposed, the results allow establishing common patterns of polarized profiles in both countries that question the management of the pandemic. It can be seen how political polarization is shaped as a characteristic of disinformation in both countries. That reveals that, after the health crisis, there is a crisis of democratic institutions that impact public health actions, but specifically to combat COVID-19.

西班牙和巴西关于COVID-19疫苗接种的言论和虚假信息

本章在巴西和西班牙的比较研究中讨论了Twitter上政治冲突的产生。基于对处理两个国家卫生危机的政治辩论的分析，它分析了在欧洲和美洲接种疫苗的第一周内发布的转发次数最多的信息。首先，分析了COVID-19免疫接种在线辩论的一般特征。其次，对各国的信息混乱进行了分析。尽管两国政府的立场是相反的，但调查结果使人们能够在两国建立对疫情管理提出质疑的两极化概况的共同模式。可以看出，政治两极分化是如何在两国被塑造成虚假信息的一个特征的。这表明，在卫生危机之后，存在影响公共卫生行动的民主机构危机，特别是在抗击COVID-19方面。
