  While social media plays a vital role in communication nowadays,
misinformation and trolls can easily take over the conversation and steer
public opinion on these platforms. We saw the effect of misinformation during
the COVID-19 pandemic when public health officials faced significant push-back
while trying to motivate the public to vaccinate. To tackle the current and any
future threats in emergencies and motivate the public towards a common goal, it
is essential to understand how public motivation shifts and which topics
resonate among the general population. In this study, we proposed an
interactive visualization tool to inspect and analyze the topics that resonated
among Twitter-sphere during the COVID-19 pandemic and understand the key
factors that shifted public stance for vaccination. This tool can easily be
generalized for any scenario for visual analysis and to increase the
transparency of social media data for researchers and the general population
alike.
