To more deeply understand the activity around Dr. Fauci on Twitter, we performed a network analysis using Al models designed to detect propaganda-like behawor and the presence of bots The image at right is a network graph visualizing all English mentions of "Fauci" and "monkeypox" for the time period of May 31*to June 14, 2022 The circles ("nodes") represent individual users (e.g @SallySmith) or concepts (e.g. #vaccines). The lines between them ("edges") represent interactions between nodes (likes, retweets, replies, etc) The red shading of the graphic displays the intensity of "anomalous behavior for a given user or post; this measures the degree of propaganda-like or bot- like behavior present (e.g. overuse of hashtags, excessive posting on the same subject, etc). Darker red signifies more manipulative behavior ANALYSIS While Dr. Fauci is frequently the target of mainstream rightwing news organizations, a loosely coordinated network of provocateurs and conspiracy theorists with significant followings are using his name and general sentiment against him to grab attention for themselves by stoking outrage, day in and day out For example, some of these actors (top right of the graph) are actively worked to discredit Dr. Fauci by referencing that the NIAID funded research into a monkey pox vaccine years ago, without noting that monkeypox is a disease that has been around since the 1950s We also observed connections being sown between Dr Fauci and Bill Gates within the monkeypox conversation indicating that there's a concerted effort to connect him with other conspiracy theories discussed in the cloud of activity at the bottom left of the graph Chuck Callesto is a political strategist and former candidate for Florida District 3 (2018) who was sponsored by MyPillow. He vocally pro-Trump/MAGA and regularly posts MyPillow coupons, discredits the January § hearings, and Tweets "breaking news" with an anti-Biden spin. He recently blamed Biden for inflation, vaccine mandates, and flight cancellations € Cmech Catente BOMBSHELL REPORT: Fauci Funded Research into Potential Monkeypox Cures BEFORE the Viral Disease Global Outbreak NI Eraved Webpage Details Momkes pon Vaccier 'Meterror' Research Prukved fy Astheory Paaci, g----- POLL, Majority Gorr't trust Fauci or Biter to hence anything property on monheypem bt) def Tweet issued by Twitter user @TexasLindsay, whose work has been featuredin the Epoch Times, a far-right media organization with ties to Ealun Gong, She linkedto an article from the National Pulse, a media organization with an extreme right-wing bias known to amplify conspiracy theories and misinformation
