not give reasons for this, but public health academic Siouxsie Wiles said that Goudie's actions were "putting others in danger." She was criticised by Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins in a media conference. Despite her stance on the Pfizer vaccine, Goudie and the Thames-Coromandel District Council voted unanimously to support the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in October 2021. In December, Thames-Coromandel councillor Gary Gotlieb lodged a complaint against Goudie due to her COVID-19 vaccination stance and for speaking to an Australian anti-vaccination group called Reignite Democracy Australia on 11 November. The Thames-Coromandel District Council decided not to proceed with the investigation, opting to resolve the issue informally. In February 2022, after Novavax was approved in New Zealand, Goudie said that she would not take it despite her earlier statements. Goudie stood by her decision in early March 2022. In May 2022, Goudie announced that she would be retiring at the October 2022 election.
