‘As we go through tough times as a territory, there’s nothing to be gained from these lies,’ says John Main
Health Minister John Main is calling out people who spread “dangerous” misinformation about vaccines on social media and community radio.
He made the comments during the Government of Nunavut’s COVID-19 news conference Tuesday.
“Unfortunately, there are some Nunavummiut who are using radio or social media to spread lies regarding vaccinations,” he said, without offering any specifics. “As we go through tough times as a territory, there’s nothing to be gained from these lies.”
People who are unsure about the vaccine should be asking experts their questions, not taking information from social media, he said.
