AhStratera is worried that weekly launches, with deadly debris just raining from the sky, will massively inconvenience those dedicated Japanese and Norwegian marine scientists doing such important research on the health of our precious, precious whales by disecting them.

Even though the initial launch site is in New Zealand, The majority of the rocket is manufactured in the US with a complete US Production line starting soon now that RL's US launch sites are now official on their site: https://www.rocketlabusa.com/launch/launch-sites/
Rutherford engines are manufactured at Rocket Lab’s headquarters in California, USA, and shipped to Auckland, New Zealand for testing before integration with the Electron launch vehicle and eventual launch from Rocket Lab’s own orbital launch facility, Launch Complex-1, on the Māhia peninsula.

Like Ed said: "Design, R&D, final assembly, test, and launch is still in New Zealand." Auckland and Mahia respectively.

Auckland and Mahia respectively.Much like Antares, which is largely manufactured in Russia/Ukraine, but sees final assembly in Virginia. If Antares is a "U.S." launch vehicle, isn't Electron a "New Zealand" rocket still? - Ed Kyle
