The results showed that only 57.5 percent of those surveyed said they were "very likely" to get the vaccine. The remaining respondents said they were either somewhat likely, somewhat unlikely, or very unlikely to get the vaccine, while 9.4 percent of individuals responded that they "didn't know."

A reasonable headline for an article reporting on this information would have been: "As many as 42.5 percent of Canadians have some doubts about getting COVID-19 vaccine."

However, the National Post chose to use the headline: "One in ten Canadians would refuse COVID vaccine." Published on August 26, the article dealt briefly with the survey, then concluded by saying that Dr. Theresa Tam (the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada) says "authorities need more information about those who are worried about or opposed to a vaccine to ensure they have the proper information about how vaccines are approved."
