Siouxsie Wiles v University of Auckland: ‘Victim blaming’ HR staff told scientist to stop making public comments on Covid-19

Wiles was giving evidence about her struggle to get her employer, the University of Auckland, to protect her against escalating threats and harassment over her public commentary on Covid-19 and advocacy for vaccination.

Wiles said the university finally started putting safety measures in place at the end of 2021, more than a year after she and colleagues first asked for protection.
