Abstract

Twitter has been widely used to share opinions and sentiments on various topics. Studies have found correlations between the sentiments on Twitter and social trends in the real world. Here, we collected the tweet IDs related to climate change, infectious diseases, and vaccines through Twitter Application Programming Interface (API), which can be useful for further research on different topics. The data ranges from October 30th, 2016, to April 24th, 2021, and is broken down by week.
