2021 has been a big year for Covid-related news. And as we emerge from a 107-day lockdown (wow!), now's a good time to look back on some interesting Covid-19 stories from this year.

First, Jemima spoke to Te Pāti Māori co-leader, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, on the inequities faced by Māori as the vaccine rollout continues.

Then, Joe spoke to Kate Hannah, lead researcher for The Disinformation Project, about the rise in misinformation in our online spaces and the increasing polarisation in society when it comes to Covid-19.
