=== Coronavirus pandemic === During the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], Hendy led a team of scientists at Te Pūnaha Matatini to study the spread of infection under various mitigation scenarios. His team's modelling showed that if no measures were taken, the coronavirus could infect 89 percent of the New Zealand population and kill 80,000 people. Subsequently, his team's advice to the government contributed to strong suppression measures across the country.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/412744/the-man-modelling-nz-s-covid-19-spread-from-his-kitchen-table|title=The man modelling NZ's Covid-19 spread from his kitchen table|last=Newton|first=Kate|date=2020-03-27|website=[[RNZ]] |language=en-nz|access-date=2020-04-23|archive-date=21 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200421085649/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/412744/the-man-modelling-nz-s-covid-19-spread-from-his-kitchen-table|url-status=live}}</ref> His team continues to update their models based on new information and demonstrate the impact of the government's strict lockdown measures.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Morton|first=Jamie|url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12323880|title=Covid 19 coronavirus: New data reveals bullet NZ dodged by locking down when we did|date=2020-04-09|work=[[The New Zealand Herald]]|access-date=2020-04-23|language=en-NZ|issn=1170-0777|archive-date=23 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200423080755/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12323880|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/science/09-04-2020/new-modelling-reveals-the-impact-of-lockdown-and-the-hopes-for-elimination/|title=New modelling reveals the impact of lockdown, and the hopes for elimination|last=Manhire|first=Toby|date=2020-04-09|website=[[The Spinoff]] |access-date=2020-04-23|archive-date=30 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200430033528/https://thespinoff.co.nz/science/09-04-2020/new-modelling-reveals-the-impact-of-lockdown-and-the-hopes-for-elimination/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2020 towards the end of the country's four-week lockdown, Hendy recommended it to be extended by two weeks to achieve the goal of eliminating the virus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/lockdown-should-be-extended-two-weeks-virus-tracker|title=Lockdown should be extended two weeks: virus tracker|date=2020-04-20|website=[[Otago Daily Times]] |language=en|access-date=2020-04-23|archive-date=25 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200425093233/https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/lockdown-should-be-extended-two-weeks-virus-tracker|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/414627/lifting-covid-19-lockdown-long-weekend-breaks-a-risky-thing-to-do-virus-modeller|title=Lifting Covid-19 lockdown: Long weekend breaks 'a risky thing to do' – virus modeller|date=2020-04-20|website=[[RNZ]] |language=en-nz|access-date=2020-04-24|archive-date=23 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200423220359/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/414627/lifting-covid-19-lockdown-long-weekend-breaks-a-risky-thing-to-do-virus-modeller|url-status=live}}</ref> He expressed concern about New Zealand's [[Anzac Day]] long weekend (25–27 April) encouraging a rise in social activity if the lockdown were eased before then, potentially spreading the virus further.<ref name=":3" /> His data and recommendations were among those considered by the government on 23 April before announcing the decision to extend the strict lockdown until 11:59pm on 27 April.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/20-04-2020/ardern-announces-alert-level-four-alert-level-three/|title=NZ to exit alert level four after Anzac weekend, Jacinda Ardern reveals|last=Manhire|first=Toby|date=2020-04-20|website=[[The Spinoff]]|access-date=2020-04-24|archive-date=23 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210423001614/https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/20-04-2020/ardern-announces-alert-level-four-alert-level-three/|url-status=live}}</ref>
In late December 2021, Hendy and epidemiologist [[Siouxsie Wiles]] filed a complaint with the [[Employment Relations Authority]] against the University of Auckland for allegedly not protecting them from abuse by anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination elements. According to the authority, the pair had been harassed at home and work, and also received vitriolic personal responses. The pair had been raising concerns about their personal safety to the university since April 2020. The University of Auckland had responded by issuing a written statement in August 2021 advising them to minimise their public commentary and social media interaction; which Hendy and Wiles regarded as insufficient. The Employment Relations Authority also expedited their complaint, allowing it to proceed to the [[Employment Court of New Zealand|Employment Court]], and ordered the university to pay their legal costs.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kapitan |first1=Craig |title=Shaun Hendy, Siouxsie Wiles file complaint against University of Auckland |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/shaun-hendy-siouxsie-wiles-file-complaint-against-university-of-auckland/JPIUINTAUXI2TDC3K45JC4IDOA/ |access-date=24 January 2022 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=3 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220105040314/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/shaun-hendy-siouxsie-wiles-file-complaint-against-university-of-auckland/JPIUINTAUXI2TDC3K45JC4IDOA/ |archive-date=5 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> Hendy settled with the university when he left employment there.<ref name=Sasha20231105/>
==="Listener Seven" controversy=== {{Main|Listener letter on science controversy}} In late July 2021, Hendy and Wiles co-authored an open counter-letter disagreeing with seven fellow [[University of Auckland]] academics, who had penned a [[Listener letter on science controversy|letter]] in the ''[[New Zealand Listener]]'' current affairs magazine arguing that [[mātauranga Māori]] ([[Māori people|Māori]] indigenous knowledge) was incompatible with science. Hendy and Wiles contended that mātauranga Māori complemented Western knowledge systems. Their letter also asserted that the diminishing role of indigenous knowledge in science was contributed to exclusion and exploitation. Hendy and Wiles also claimed that mistrust in science was fuelled by science's role in perpetuating [[scientific racism]], colonialism, and injustice.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Wiggins |first1=Amy |title=Experts Shaun Hendy and Siouxsie Wiles among those rejecting claim Māori knowledge isn't science as 'scientific racism' |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/kahu/experts-shaun-hendy-and-siouxsie-wiles-among-those-rejecting-claim-maori-knowledge-isnt-science-as-scientific-racism/QQSKY6Y2CBP7ONYRXXL3VUUBN4/ |access-date=16 January 2022 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=29 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211107140255/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/kahu/experts-shaun-hendy-and-siouxsie-wiles-among-those-rejecting-claim-maori-knowledge-isnt-science-as-scientific-racism/QQSKY6Y2CBP7ONYRXXL3VUUBN4/ |archive-date=7 November 2021|url-status=live}}</ref> By 30 July, Hendy and Wiles' counter-letter had attracted more than 2,000 unverified signatures.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sowmand-Lund |first1=Stewart |title=Live updates, July 30: 2,000 sign open letter response on mātauranga Māori and science |url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/30-07-2021/live-updates-july-30-pay-talks-resume-as-nurses-reject-latest-offer |access-date=16 January 2022 |work=[[The Spinoff]] |date=30 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207204907/https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/30-07-2021/live-updates-july-30-pay-talks-resume-as-nurses-reject-latest-offer |archive-date=7 December 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
