"They actually eliminated the virus twice. The third time, when it showed up in a mutated form, it broke through. But fortunately, they already had a 98% vaccination rate. This is why I love New Zealand. People there are, for the most part, sane as opposed to the United States, where you had a 62% vaccination rate, and that's going down, going the wrong direction."
"Where would you rather live? A place that actually believes in science and is sane and where people can work together cohesively to a common goal, or a place where everybody's at each other's throats, extremely polarised, turning its back on science and basically would be in utter disarray if another pandemic appears. Cameron joins an increasing exodus of film industry celebrities leaving the US, citing Trump's second term in the White House as a key reason."
James Cameron relocated to New Zealand, citing the country's pandemic handling and high vaccination rates as primary reasons. He purchased a farm there in 2011 with his wife and decided after the pandemic to make the move permanent, saying the move preserved his sanity. New Zealand eliminated the virus twice and limited a later mutated outbreak due to a 98% vaccination rate. Cameron contrasted that with the United States' roughly 62% vaccination rate and deep political polarization under Donald Trump. He said New Zealanders largely believe in science and work cohesively toward common goals. Several other film figures have also pursued citizenship or moved abroad.
