Does a video prove that Justin Trudeau and his wife faked first doses of COVID-19 vaccinations?

Although vaccinations for Canada's prime minister and his wife appeared to be unconventionally administered, effective procedures were used, according to medical experts who spoke to Lead Stories.

The narrator of a video — excerpted from news coverage of the vaccinations in April — made several claims including that the person giving the shots did not "landmark" the arm area for the shot, nor was the injection aspirated per medical procedure and that the injector "threw the needle in like it was a dart" — indicating the vaccinations were faked.

A full-length version of the footage discounts one claim, showing the Trudeaus receiving an alcohol swab at "landmarked" injection spots. A medical professional told Lead Stories that aspiration is "neither necessary nor recommended" for the upper-arm site.

That medical professional discounted the "dart" technique as being likely because using two hands could have blocked cameras recording the scene.
