Health Minister Christian Dubé has criticized the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops over its vaccine advice.
The bishops suggested Catholics should “prefer” the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines because they are more “morally acceptable” than those being produced by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
“I strongly denounce the statement of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Canada,” Dubé said via Twitter. “I invite all Quebecers to trust our experts and those from around the world: all the vaccines we administer are effective.”
Je dénonce vigoureusement cette déclaration de la Conférence des évêques catholiques du Canada. J’invite tous les Québécois à se fier à nos experts et à ceux de partout dans le monde : tous les vaccins que nous administrons sont efficaces. https://t.co/vBJp0hwCox
