A social media post falsely claims that 32 Canadian doctors “died suddenly” after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The post does not provide any evidence that the vaccines were linked to the deaths.
Recommendation: Messaging may emphasize that the attempt to link the deaths to COVID-19 vaccines is completely baseless and includes misleading information about several of the doctors. In the case of three doctors who are described as having died suddenly after receiving boosters, all died from cancer or other long-term, serious illnesses. Their deaths, while tragic, were not “sudden” and were not caused by the vaccines. Fact-checking sources:
