We downloaded tweets containing Weinstein, Epstein, and coronavirus/COVID-19. The third tweet (from @ali) was the first to get retweeted. The accounts posting about the topic can't seem to decide whether the diagnosis is cover for killing Weinstein or smuggling him out of prison.
As has become a recurring a theme with #MAGA disinformation, @w_terrence was the one who actually sent the Weinstein #coronavirus conspiracy theory viral, even going so far as to coin the hashtag #HarveyDidntFluicideHimself to mark the occasion.
