Photo: Supplied / Ministry of HealthA group questioning the legality of New Zealand's vaccine rollout has argued its case in the High Court at Wellington today. The vaccine, Pfizer-BioNTech Covid 19, has been formally tested on more than 40,000 people - half received the vaccine, the other half a placebo which consisted of slightly salty water. "I don't think there can be any credible suggestion that the court can proceed on any other basis," she said. "There's no evidence that they've been given any other alternatives - it's all 'vaccine, vaccine, vaccine'," she said. "It is a serious claim to suggest that people who are receiving vaccine won't get the guidance from a healthcare professional."
