The COVID-19 pandemic that emerged in 2020 has highlighted the complex interplay between vaccine hesitancy and societal polarization. In this study, we analyse the dynamical polarization within a social network as well as the network properties before and after a vaccine was made available.

... summary is given in Tab.2 and the degree distribution is displayed in Fig.2. In Tab.2 we also report the mean number of daily contacts which increases in time here mainly because in 2020 there were many users without strong views discussing the pandemic while in 2022 the number of users have reduced, leaving users with strong opinions. ...
