Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health says an anti-vaccination video claiming a 13-year-old girl was hospitalized in Halifax because her heart stopped after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is a "false story." "There's nothing at all to suggest that this is actually an event that actually occurred," he said. The video was created and shared on Facebook on Thursday by a woman who claims her daughter's friend is in critical care after getting a COVID-19 vaccine because her heart repeatedly stopped. The woman goes on to make several unfounded claims about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines and encourages viewers to spread her message. The CBC sent the woman a message asking for contact information for the family, but the woman did not reply.
