According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan’s “ Academician of Academia Sinica” Chen Peizhe resigned from the “Vaccine Review Committee of the Food and Drug Administration”, pointing out that it is difficult for the organization to maintain independence and professionalism. In this regard, Kuomintang "legislator" Lai Shibao lamented that the dark hands of politics have been reaching out to control scientific research, which makes people lament the plight of scientists.
Chen Peizhe, Taiwan's "Academician of Academia Sinica", resigned from the "Self-produced Vaccine Review Committee" at the end of May, believing that the "Food and Drug Administration Review Committee" cannot maintain professionalism and independence. Lai Shibao said on Facebook that he really couldn't bear to see the profession being bullied by politics. Even vaccine research that affects people's lives and health wants to use power to pressure scientific research as a tool for politics. Chen Peizhe's fate for telling the truth is to be discredited and attacked by the cyber army .
Lai Shibao also gave an example. Dr. Xie Simin, the host of the vaccine trial plan, also told the truth and called for politics to be returned to politics and science to science. His fan page was immediately closed.
Lai Shibao lamented that Taiwan does not lack outstanding scientific talents, but their professional fields are not respected, and political black hands have been reaching into the field to control scientific research, which makes people lament the plight of scientists.
