Reluctant people reported lower trust in government, preferred to avoid vaccines in general and questioned how quickly COVID-19 vaccines were produced and approved.
The report doesn’t contain recommendations. The CCA’s reports don’t, by design. The goal is to inform policy, not to direct government, a spokesperson said. But scientific research is also fallible, the panel report notes. “Misinformation can be the product of systemic failures in science and medicine, and in the communication of scientific knowledge and research findings,” it reads. Finding that don’t replicate and weak methodologies are among the reasons why “no one study can be treated as definitive.”
The panel is committed to the freedom of expression, Himelfarb said. But things can be done to combat misinformation, he said. “It’s pretty clear that tens of thousands of hospitalizations did occur because of misinformation,” he said.
CBC, Toronto Star, now National Post all falling in line and propagating this state funded, narrative constructing propaganda. Meanwhile useful information like this will NEVER appear in Canadian media: 'There is no justification for those claims of numbers of lives saved.'
Useless study based on bogus, biased, modelling:
This piece is a monument to misinformation. Totally unscientific. It's been shown the mRNA vaccines did not prevent the spread of COVID nor was it protective to those who took it. Now many young people have diedsuddenly. The MSM, government and public health are guilty.
This sounds wildly inplausable to me. I cant believe people are being paid good money for this nonesense. .... unless its being bought and paid for by those sleezy Big Pharma people.
It has, many people took the clot shot thinking it would save them. Not safe, not effective, not a vaccine.
Yes, covid misinformation reported by all branches of the media caused thousands of deaths..
'May have'. Can we see the data? No? That's because it's impossible to determine it. Anyone who has taken an introductory statistics course knows these metrics are purely subjective and worthless.
the misinformation all came from the so called health experts , health Canada , every single politician and the corrupt media
FAKE NEWS!
'Two weeks to flatten the curve,' and 'safe and effective.' That's the misinformation. And yes it did cause, and continues to be the cause of thousands of excess deaths.
Water is wet
Modelling can never show causation. This report is beyond garbage.
This is and will be for generations a crisis.
'report from the Council of Canadian Academies' an organization federal funded.... nuf said
Big BS.. How this can be proved?
The misinformation came from the JT government.
Eggs, climate change, anything but the obvious 🤡
Liberal funded fake. Let's find out how many people died due to lockdowns and the aftermath. How many are getting assisted suicide (it's 100,000+). Why so many excess deaths? Where's the studies on that? Nobody dies from words. Unless they heard the words, 'Get Vaccinated'
Members of The Trusted News Initiative, an international cabal of MSM influenced by governments, censored amd suppressed real factual information. This killed hundreds of thousands by not allowing proper informed consent of the risks vs benefits. Excess deaths 10 % everywhere.
The CCA - org that published this 'report' based on hypothetical presuppositions - has already received ~$105m in fed grants. As a condition for receiving these grants the CCA agrees to conduct up to five reports per year of subjects proposed by the Canadian federal government.
False. Two years of government misinformation and spoon fed MSM misinformation.
The author of this story …. Sharon Kirkey…
Covid caused thousands of deaths, people chose what they wanted to believe and moved forward in their chosen fashion. That's freedom, it's messy.
The use of a vaccine that didn’t work? Lockdowns that hurt people There are many
Covid modeling (and resulting policy) is responsible for millions of excess deaths.
The report is misinformation
Yep and the National Post contributed heavily to the destructive misinformation 👍 good job you earned your paycheque
misinformation like this 👇
Like saying the vaccine was safe and effective?
I'm sure misinformation, actually lies, caused many more deaths than this. Get vaccinated to protect yourself and grandma. How many got vaxxed and thought they were safe to visit vulnerable? They knew it did not prevent spread!
More misinformation from mainstream media…
Omg not you too?
Catastrophic COVID-19 Vaccine Casualties in 2021 New Data Estimate 278,000 Americans Had Life Ended by Immunization Campaign  Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH™
The misinfo from the gov't and main stream media?
Lies, hatred and misinformation are rampant on social media.
Why do antivaxers always block you when you disagree with them?
The celebrations on Twitter by the unvaccinated and antivaxxers would make it appear Thanos-Covid snapped it’s fingers and all the vaccinated are gone. It really feels like the only people alive now are just the smart unvaccinated people, the fearful vaccinated are all bye bye.
There are way too many awake people believing this absolute bs. Insulting one’s intelligence will make for extreme anger and resentment. Or maybe that’s the idea…
Nonsense. Please stop.
This is the reason so many healthcare workers have chosen to walk away from the field. Doctors, nurses,paramedics, care aids/support workers, we're done.
Yes, the government put out a lot of misinformation that harmed people, and they're still doing it.
Media is fake and scripted! Fact
Lol THIS is misinformation!!
A FEDERALLY FUNDED independent report found that what the fed has been claiming has been correct all along. Its like magic. Next up... a federally funded report shows that Canada's temperature will rise like 8 degrees one day unless we all live in condos with no cars and eat bugs
What about government misinformation? That the vaccine is supposed to stop the spread What about the lack of transparency to the general public on all documents submitted if any by the pharma companies? What about the surge in abnormal deaths lately that the media refuses to co
This is why are firing journalists and nobody cares. Amazing how Sweden is never mentioned in Canada or all the countries who banned vaccines for many age groups. But then again, other countries don't have a PMO handing out $600 mm to newspapers. Endless propaganda.
Government lied...people died. Thats the misinformation. Patients denied life saving drugs by the GOVERNMENT. Injected with poison by the GOVERNMENT. They are still lying while people are dying in droves.
When you put “may” , everything becomes questionable.
This article 'may be' based on bullshit and wild interpretations of cherry picked data🤷
You mean like, Ivermectin is horsepaste? Or like, this vaccine will stop transmission of C19? Or like, if you get the vaccine, you won’t get C19? That sort of misinformation?
I think that was the point for the antivaxxers. To kill as many people as possible.
Now do the cost of vaccine injury and death, lockdown restrictions, and excess non-covid deaths
Ya by telling people masks and vaccines worked
fake news!!! Libersl funded study. narritve must be protected.
It's ok that we were all national socialists because we for sure did the right thing? Right? Right
“released by the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA), an independent research organization that receives federal funding…” Pretty easy to release an unscientific study that can’t be proven or disproven, but will generate hyperbolic headlines.
Science please.. factual research, not assumptions.
NP, it was not mis-information that the danger of covid was exaggerated, its true. In reality only the really sick and or old had to worry about covid, mostly. And death totals were exaggerated by 50%. This was done every where.
Of course! All those sudden deaths in young people due to climate change are the clear proof.
Wrong… you criminals.
Another Sharon Kirkey propaganda article. Total nonsense. Notice its just a junk modelling study. And she never provided a link to the study, guess they dont want us to read it.
Well we know the jabs caused thousands of deaths in Canada.
'may'. The end.
Ya people who took the jabs. Covid was a flu
Government is pushing misinformation
Where can we see the model and data used? Also, release the assumptions given to generate the numbers. Models are a liars way of producing whatever result they were looking for.
B.S. This study is similar with the one that says the unvaxxed are more likely to have car crashes! I bet it's paid for by the government!
They never did a good job allowing real doctors to have control.
Yep. The righties spreading propaganda.
The fine print, “Based on modelling”.
More GIGO. Itself disinformation. Applying broad estimates on a disease that overwhelmingly killed only the most aged and vulnerable. Whom power lusting statists failed miserably to protect. I'll await the 'study' on their negligence.
No shit. Peddled by people who read your crap-rag. You're partially responsible.
Congrats to postmedianet and brianlilley for their part in this 👏 👏 👏
Propaganda
The misinformation that led to lockdowns and deadly vaccines yep
Look at the national post, positioning on the side that they have spread no misinformation or lies for the past 3 years?
ok ok please explain the misinformation you're talking about.
Astonished you published this piece. Misinformation? When you overstate promises on effectiveness (government) then ya, people are not going to believe you. Flabbergasted after all thats come out this article is in print.
All misinformation was delivered by treasonous liberal government and bought out crooked media.
Any headline with 'may' can be ignored as probably fake news.
As part of their report, Fault Lines, the 13-member panel set out to create a model to support a failing Covid vaccine narrative. As the science is now showing, the vaccines were never as safe and effective as hoped & promised, but egos, reputations & $ are now at stake.
Says who, the media that perpetuated this nonsense? Deflect deflect deflect Canadians are not that stupid despite with this tyrant and his bum buddies think
What about the cost of lives because people were afraid to do anything because of covid?
Remember that thing where the communist party of China outright blocked the international investigation into lab leak hypothesis? We’ll never know for sure.
Who benefited from this report? That institution is trying to cover their useless asses.
'Vaccine' disinformation may have caused and may yet still cause millions of deaths and adverse reactions. We still CAN'T know the long term adverse effects of the 'vaccine', but the evidence is not good.
I read the entire article. I have had 4 COVID shots and still wear a mask in grocery stores and airplanes. However, I think everyone should read 'The Real Anthony Fauci' by Robert F Kennedy Jr. If half of what is written is true it's astounding!
The author of this piece of trash is Sharon Kirkey and if she thinks using the word MAY gives her an out she's wrong either it did or didn't well I'm waiting ?
So much misinformation spread by the National Post and mass media hypnosis.
Cue the far right extremists calling the Right Wing Rag NP “Fake News”, etc… 🤣
More liberal propaganda from state funded media outlet!
Now add in how many the government killed with MAID, and you have a genocidal government in Canada.
I don't believe that for one second. As time goes on we find most of the misinformation came from the government, official Health officials
How much did the lies cost?
EDIT: COVID misinformation––like the National Post––may have caused thousands of deaths in Canada...
Sorry National the only misinformation is your entire media organization along with the rest of the paid legacy media
And this is how they try to justify their internet censorship bill
Tens of thousands that died or a permanently sick due to lockdowns... vax injury or death. Crickets from media.
Did they include my mother incarcerated in a nursing home ,dying alone in those numbers too
Are you talking about the thousands of deaths caused by labour shortages in healthcare brought about by the misinformation that vaccines prevent transmission, thus justifying the firing of unvaccinated healthcare workers?
Anti-Vaxxers
Expert panel
Misinformation like the jabs prevent transmission?
Fake news 🖕
I still don't get why we are using the term 'misinformation'. Is it too hard on people's feelings to call them a liar? Is that not what 'misinformation' is?
Do we get to sue JustinTrudeau ?
The largest source of misinformation by far is the government.
Censorship and Gaslighting are paramount to the liberal lefts survival. Their desperation is growing as they are Terrified of their futures.
You guys are the MISINFORMATION ARTIST. It could of been cured with vit D there is a meta analysis out there do some journalism and find it I did.
No mention of Trudeau’s COVID19 vaccine procurement delays in the article. What the authors interpret as “vaccine hesitancy” was actually “vaccine unavailability”. Trudeau’s failed Chinese partnership led to a 5-month delay behind Israel’s procurement and two-months behind US.
And it 'may' not have. Vaccine hesitancy has been around a whole lot longer than mRNA vaccines. If you want to blame something, blame Wakefield's long-retracted Lancet article for getting the ball rolling.
LOL. Now do vaccine injuries. It's OK. I'll wait...
You mean the vax that was in development before Covid was released on the public?
This is the chair for the Council of Canadian Academies.
Hmmm it's Stoke season hahaha
Safe and effective. Those that spewed these words must be held to account. TrudeauDictatorship
A serious question for people on both sides is this discussion. Would it be possible for someone with an opposing viewpoint to provide you with evidence to make you change your stance? Also, what would that evidence have to look like?
Tell me guys at the National...who decide whats info and whats not...who's your big god that know it all
I know at least four who died from the jab
Media mis and disinformation, fear mongering.. is correct
What a piece of garbage propaganda piece
Lockdowns, Restrictions, Delayed Treatment/Surgeries for Cancers & other serious diseases, Locking LTC residents in their rooms with no visitors,... surely increased Death Counts. We'll never know the actual numbers. Govt policies were worse than covid virus itself.
Like this article? Still trying to get money for a vaccine that never made it through the normal process of 10-15 years or the EU had on trial and other real scientific studies stated there was no difference in death rates between vaccinated and non-vaccinated?
What about the mandates?
You mean the misinfomration claiming vax were safe and effective?
Government and tax payer funded media has created the largest disinformation cabal in Canadian history.
Looking for more cash?
Yes! Suppression and demonization of know, safe, therapeutics. 'Quarantine til Vaccine' was a military responses NOT a public health response. Hey , get boosted and do lots of burpees...
And the reaction of vaccines?
Not one media outlet is reporting truth about Pfizer admitting they mutated covid virus to sell more vaccines. This is not misinformation but the sht the govt and media outlets are doing to suppress the truths is disinformation.
Misinformation like 'Safe and effective'?
“MAY HAVE” but pretty sure it causes blood clots. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so sad
Based on more “modelling” and sponsored by the Trudeau government.
And MSM may stop spreading propaganda
Yeah, healthy people believed the virus was deadly so they took an experimental gene inoculation and thousands of people have died. With no accountability.
Another federally-funded report to influence vaccine hesitancy. Talk about misinformation. Trust in government in Canada has been eroded completely over the past seven years.
The media should be held responsible
Yes like vaccinated don’t spread the virus and that the vaccine stop’s infection. Was all lies , the vaccine is poison
Nonsence. There was more true, factual information available to everyone. For some it was personal choice, others religious beliefs and as is normal a % that it's simply their time to die.
Yes misinformation that the CBC and CTV spread and the Governments released. Covid cases were far far less than reported.
Dixie4Alberta Yes misinformation like - “lockdowns are necessary” - the vaccines are “safe & effective” - you should take “the first vaccine you are offered” (why did the AZ vaccine get pulled?} - “Mix & match” - “pregnant women should get the shot” That’s your misinformation!
Liberal/NDP's are getting angrier everyday. But the true anger will be when they come to the reality that it was all lied to and they put multiple shots in their kids When these people wake up, they will be loose cannons. But we are the 'freedumb' and they are the intellectuals.
Maybe if they released something that WORKED. Instead of saying misleading and disinformation to encourage people to get it. It’s not a vaccine. Vaccine stops infection. This DOES NOT
Misinformation as in 'the vaccine is safe'?
…and vaccination has caused deaths too …. In fact Britain has stopped vaccinating under 50!
Like you mean misinformation from government, doctors, scientists, public health and 'trusted news sources'? Then I would agree.
You mean misinformation from Tam
Like this?
Dixie4Alberta Maybe if the Liberal Govt had seen COVID as a global crisis instead of a political opportunity to weaponize & divide Canadians for Justin Trudeau things would have been different.
Wow first CBC now The National Post is spreading this bs from a very opiniated narrative pushing group ? Like come on !!!
Now do an article on how many deaths lockdowns caused.
Misinformation from government
The biggest misinformation was from the media, government and ''health experts'' telling us the jabs were 'safe and effective'. When they were neither.. ExcessDeaths
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The headlines is accurate but I'm not reading that shit you are fake news
One mans 'misinformation' is another mans 'democracy and free speech at work'. The minute anyone is annointed with 'Papal Infallibility' then, and only then is anyone disagreeing spouting misinformation. Until then, it is free speech and democracy at work.
“It’s pretty clear that tens of thousands of hospitalizations did occur because of misinformation,” he said. Yes, Ivermectin
The funniest part is watching people still wear masks 🤣
Yes please sue the government and media for all the misinformation
Wow does this ever make me want to unfollow you
'But why would the media lie and make up stories' Bet all those people feel stupid now lol
Pat yourselves on the back Postmedia!
