Manitoba move to secure own vaccine supply 'a political statement': expert

FILE - In this Jan. 5, 2021, file photo, a healthcare worker receives a second Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine shot in Southfield, Mich. On Friday, Jan. 8, 2021, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting that COVID-19 vaccines that rely on messenger RNA technology will teach the body to attack itself, leading to autoimmune disease. The mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 contain a genetic code that trains the immune system to recognize the spike protein on the surface of the virus to generate an immune response and fight it. A lack of understanding around how mRNA vaccines work has led to a flurry of misinformation around the vaccines. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File)</p>
