Story summary

New Zealand First (political party) calls for a select committee inquiry into vaccine injuries from the mandated double-dose COVID-19 program.
The party says the COVID-19 Inquiry report inadequately addressed vaccine safety and risks for hundreds of thousands, including 12–17-year-olds.
They allege that undisclosed advice to ministers raises questions about accountability in pandemic decision-making.
The inquiry would let vaccine-injured people provide evidence and assess health impacts, including myocarditis.
