Coronavirus: These are the Canadian Muslims dispelling fake news about COVID-19 vaccines

  TORONTO As COVID-19 vaccine efforts roll out across Canada, Toronto-based Dr. Fariha Khan is doing her best to help the Muslim community deal with a persistent issue: misinformation. “We see it in older generation during this COVID lockdown, who now turn their attention to things like Whatsapp groups to keep in touch with friends and family, especially in other countries,” Khan told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview, explaining that she and other doctors across the country have seen how misinformation has taken hold. Common questions she hears include whether COVID-19 vaccines are safe or halal, and whether the faithful can be vaccinated during the holy month of Ramadan. Khan says the answer to these questions is an emphatic, “Yes.”
