While New Zealand's Covid response was deemed one of the best in the world, a closer examination reveals underlying structural issues that led to 'scars' on the population. The report highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the pandemic's impact on vulnerable communities. Furthermore, the inquiry's recommendations for future pandemics overlook the importance of indigenous knowledge and community-led responses.
