Original title: Taiwanese businessmen want to organize a delegation to the mainland to fight against vaccination
Li Bingying, expert from the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center (United News Network)Overseas Network, December 17 Numerous Taiwanese media revealed that some Taiwanese businessmen wanted to organize a delegation to the mainland to vaccinate the new corona vaccine, but this news provoked discontent with the health department of the Taiwanese authorities, saying that “fighting is not recommended, there is risk.” Taiwanese netizens have ridiculed experts at Taiwan’s health department for “really bitter lemons.”
According to reports from many Taiwanese media, including the Central News Agency and the United News Network, recently some Taiwanese businessmen want to organize a delegation to China to vaccinate the new corona vaccine. When the news came, Li Bingying, an advisory member of the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center think tank, rushed out and said she was “worried” about it. He stated: “If the vaccine is not specially designed, it may be useless if used and will increase the risk of serious disease. Unless it is an internationally certified vaccine, it is not recommended.” The “international certification” you refer to refers to “vaccines licensed by the United States and Europe,” which can be adopted by the authorities in Taiwan.
In addition to “getting” the vaccine off the mainland, he also calculated the comparison, saying that flying to the mainland to receive the vaccine was not “cost-effective” and would take two months.
Many Taiwanese netizens couldn’t help leaving a message sarcastically: “What is international certification? He said nothing. To put it bluntly, it is the American certification that is called ‘international certification’!”
Some netizens think that the Taiwanese health department is “really bitter.”
In fact, many countries, including Turkey, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia, have stated that they will buy the new coronavirus vaccine from mainland China, believing that the Chinese vaccine is safe and effective. However, the Taiwanese health department is “pulling and trampling” for no reason at the moment, and political considerations remain indispensable behind it.
“United Daily News” commented on the 17th that the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center has always been vague about who to buy and when to get vaccines, even using a “nondisclosure agreement” to avoid doubts. Is this coverage for policy errors or are there other considerations of interest?
The comment indicated that DPP authorities have made mistakes in vaccine-related decisions so far. At the beginning of the epidemic, there was no preparation for external acquisitions; In early July, it was determined that the timeline for developing vaccines made in Taiwan was delayed before beginning to contact manufacturers outside the island. However, the production capacity of the major vaccine factories has long been contracted by major European and American countries, and it is difficult for the Taiwanese authorities to prioritize them.
The article claimed that despite the anguish, the DPP authorities continued to insist on the “anti-China” stance. The “Minister of Health and Welfare” Chen Shizhong declared that “there is no continental vaccine” and directly cut off the possible source of vaccine. If it weren’t for political considerations, this shouldn’t be the case. In addition, the Taiwanese authorities have also negotiated with Pfizer and German pharmaceutical companies.The “black box” operation of the Taiwanese authorities’ vaccine policy makes it difficult for the outside world to see the whole picture. Even if the vaccine cannot be obtained without problems, it must be exposed to the sun and cannot be covered with one hand. (Yang Jia Overseas Network)
