Neste artigo, analisamos a circulação de links desinformativos sobre a pandemia de Covid-19 no Twitter, a partir de um conjunto de 159.560 links coletados da API do Twitter entre os meses de março e julho de 2020. Através de um mapeamento da rede e da observação da vizinhança dos links e dos links mais compartilhados, observamos uma polarização e redução da circulação dos links de acordo com seu sentido (pró-hidroxicloroquina ou anti-hidroxicloroquina). Os resultados também apontam para uma maior atividade na divulgação de links pró-hidroxicloroquina, grupo onde também circula a maior quantidade de desinformação e de veículos hiperpartidários. Do mesmo modo, a circulação de veículos de mídia tradicional e institucionais é bastante reduzida neste grupo, fortalecendo a associação entre mídia hiperpartidária e desinformação.
