CHARBONNEAU – Stop misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine now
IN AN INFORMATION VACUUM, all kinds of thoughts flourish.
Canadians generally favour vaccines but doubts persist. In a recent survey, 15 per cent of Canadians and 20 per cent of Americans said they would not get a COVID-19 vaccine if it were available.
Why would you not get vaccinated against a deadly disease? Let’s count the reasons.
Some of it is simply “needle fear.” A study published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing found that 16 per cent of adult patients avoided the flu shot because of needle fear. (Globe and Mail, May 22, 2020)

Just read the Lancet. Vaccine done. Waiting to assess side effects. Why all the drama?
