Summary
New Zealand’s royal commission into its Covid-19 response found vaccine mandates were reasonable based on available data but acknowledged they harmed social cohesion.
The report praised the country’s elimination strategy for achieving one of the lowest Covid death rates among developed nations while preventing healthcare system collapse.
However, it criticized prolonged lockdowns, weak health system preparedness, and a lack of planning for future crises.
Commissioners urged broad investment in pandemic readiness and emphasized the importance of both frontline and planning staff.
A second phase of the inquiry will review vaccine harms and conclude in 2026.
“My wife is a therapist, trust me bro” is not the evidentiary argument you seem to think it is.

You can tell me “trust me, bro” all you like and even get mad about it. It’s still not evidence. The fact that you seem unable to produce any actual evidence is quite telling.
