Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his COVID-19 vaccination policy helped Canada get through the pandemic and criticized related “misinformation and disinformation,” but he also said some people experienced side effects from the shots.

“The challenge that we have now is that increasingly, misinformation and disinformation [are] carrying people to believe things that are untrue. Vaccinations [are] a perfect example of it,” Trudeau said on April 24 while having an armchair discussion with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the University of Ottawa.
