Is Tony Blakely Brought to You By Moderna?

In his interview with Mike Hosking Tony Blakely, Jacinda Ardern's choice for Chair of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19 (Lessons Learned), said this . . .

"It wouldn't be a good use of our time to go and review the international literature and work out exactly what the vaccine effectiveness of it was, of the Moderna vaccine on the 12th of July 2022, that's not worth our effort."

Some people commented on how they found it odd that he would speak of the Moderna shot, when it was the Pfizer shot that was given here in New Zealand. But Lynda Wharton on The Health Forum NZ did some research and found something which might give us a clue as to why the words "Moderna vaccine" came out of his mouth.
