Quotes from Michael Baker:

> *Professor Michael Baker was hesitant to characterise the so-called “Freedom NZ” protests as potential super-spreader events.*  
> *But the University of Otago epidemiologist did say Covid transmission was likely occurring at them, and symbolically the protests were a corrosive form of “antisocial behaviour”.*   
>  
> *But Baker said the unchecked mingling and shouting at Auckland Domain and in Kensington Park, Whangarei, made some form of Covid-19 transmission likely.”They’ll also be mixing before and after the event and people will be sharing transport.*  
> *“The only thing that lessens the risk of this being a super-spreading episode is the fact that it’s outdoors. But against it, of course, is that there isn’t physical distancing almost by definition.*  
>  
> *The protests took place while the Government made its vaccine push in the national [Super Saturday](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-delta-outbreak-super-saturday-vaccination-all-you-need-to-know/PWL6KHRJSGBTOMB36RMC3X2BUA/?ref=goodoil.news) campaign.*

The *NZ Herald* doesn’t see the blatant contradiction and hypocrisy in that last statement. The protests were bad because there was *“mixing and mingling and shouting”*, but Super Saturday, which did all of those same things, is just fine.
