The year 2021 was one of hope and promise for New Zealand, as the world began to recover from the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
But according to official figures quietly released by the Government of New Zealand, the opposite happened.
The island suffered 2,169 excess deaths in 2021 and then a shocking 5,286 excess deaths by week 49 of 2022. These are terrifying figures for a small island with an estimated population of just 5 million.
Especially when compared to 2020, when no excess deaths were suffered and 160 fewer deaths were actually recorded than expected at the height of the Covid pandemic and prior to the rollout of the Covid injections.
