We speculate that more of the conspiracy-related tweets are deleted because of Twitter's content moderation efforts that have been enforced due to recent public debates about misinformation on OSNs. There is a long list of laboratory studies that show a correlation between conspiracy mentality and extreme political orientation [Enders et al., 2020; van Prooijen et al., 2015] . Using more than 38,000 tweets and 36,000 unique Twitter users, we formed the contingency table of political orientation and of contribution to COVID-19 conspiracy narratives (Table 8) .	./cache/cord-207180-k6f6cmyn.txt	./txt/cord-207180-k6f6cmyn.txt
