Information propagation on cyber, relational and physical spaces about covid-19 vaccine: Using social media and splatial framework.

ABSTRACT: With the advent of social media, human dynamics studied in purely physical space have been extended to that of a cyber and relational context. However, connections and interactions between these hybrid spaces have not been sufficiently investigated.
