If you want good information on vaccine safety, consult a physician or the CDC website or something. On the other hand, if you want some good old fashioned #antivax conspiracy-mongering, vaccine-related tweets containing YouTube videos might be your cup of tea.

We downloaded all original tweets from the last ten days containing "vaccine" or "vaccines" and linking to YouTube, yielding 1030 tweets from 697 accounts. 54 (7.7%) appear automated based on 24/7 activity/services used to tweet; these accounts posted 148 (14.4%) of the tweets.
Next, we classified the videos based on whether or not they espoused an #antivax stance. 727 of the 1030 tweets (70.6%) linked an anti-vaccine video, featuring a mixture of dubious scientific claims and conspiracy theories imputing nefarious motives to vaccination laws.
What do the accounts tweeting vaccine-related YouTube videos look like? In addition to a fixation on the topic of vaccines, they link both fringe and mainstream news sources and use a variety of political hashtags, most prominently #MAGA, #QAnon, and #WWG1WGA.
