Jacinda Ardern ends press conference after being heckled over Covid vaccines

New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern had to abruptly halt a media conference after being heckled by at least two people, who appeared to be anti-vaxxers. One man claiming to be a journalist continued interrupting, asking Ardern ’why is the vaccine not working in Israel? And you are still pushing it’. Ardern replied: ’Sir I will shut down the press conference if this continues.’ For context, Israel is currently recording a seven day average of around 600 new daily cases, compared to a peak of around 11,000 daily infections in September. No vaccine currently on the market claims to be 100% effective at preventing transmission  Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► Coronavirus news – live updates ► The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
