John Main says false information around the RSV vaccine is circulating on social media
The Nunavut government is warning people to be wary of misinformation related to the RSV vaccine that it says cites false information about previous vaccination programs in Nunavik.
“Misinformation and lies [are] a poison. We’re making sure that we’re providing the antidote to that poison or something that helps to knock it down,” Health Minister John Main said in an interview Thursday.
He said rumours are circulating on social media that high-risk Inuit infants in Nunavik were given the vaccine without parental consent or that they were experimented on.
