Sir John Key’s recent media blitz was full of suggestions for how the Covid-19 response could have been done better. Some have been found to be false (such as his claim we could have paid Pfizer for preferential supply), and some seem to have lit a fire under the Government to get things moving (such as the suggestion of home quarantining).

How do you feel about Key’s contribution?

How do you feel about John Key’s comments on the Covid-19 response?

• It was constructive and I support his points
• It lit a fire under the Government and extracted much needed clarity
• It was armchair commentary and he didn’t know what he was talking about
• It was a struggling National’s attempt to regain some popularity

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Linda from Henderson

Lack of personal responsibilty over vaccinations to yourself and more importantly to other vulnerable citizens is now being rewarded by bribes in the form of prezzies, spot prizes, supermarket vouchers etc.
How about acknowledging all those who quietly became vaccinated ASAP.
