Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic mass communication and social media have impacted mostly urban societies in several countries and the dissemination of disinformation has conditioned views and behaviors on part of society. Based on the development of our own software, keywords related to proven ineffective drugs and other terms related to the new coronavirus (SarsCoV-2) were searched and the messages and scope were analyzed in terms of profile “likes” of politicians and scientists on Twitter in Brazil. The study of the polarization and politicization of speeches is capable of contributing to the understanding of the phenomenon of disinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
