"The reaction to the second Royal Commission Inquiry into New Zealand’s
response to the COVID-19 pandemic was certainly eye-opening. National’s social
media machine geared up and had a set post that many of their MPs and
supporters spread near and far.
Both Winston Peters and David Seymour claimed victory as they clambered over
each other to own the anti-vaccine and anti-mandate space. But what was lost in
the middle of all of this social media noise was what the report actually said.
This should alarm every single one of us."

Standard conservative playbook: just trumpet that the report says what you
wanted it to say, even if it’s not true. Hardly anyone will fact check, and as
the party in government they have more money and power and can drown out the
truth.
