Wang Yiwei / Text Amidst controversy, the "high-end" new crown pneumonia vaccine developed locally in Taiwan is about to be released. On July 27, relevant Taiwan departments opened the online registration of the fourth round of vaccination and provided three vaccines for the public to choose from, including the AZ vaccine from abroad, the Moderna vaccine, and high-end vaccines produced locally in Taiwan.
is criticized for its frequent political intervention during the research and development process, and related trials have also been questioned by professionals. The two high-end vaccines developed by Taiwan and Lianya have been criticized before they were released. To this end, after the fourth round of willing registration began, Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen publicly announced that he had completed the registration and was ready to receive high-end vaccines. Taiwan’s deputy leader Lai Ching-te announced that he would receive another Taiwanese-made vaccine, Lianya, which will be released soon.
Two leaders tried the medicine with their own hands and were willing to receive Taiwan-made vaccines, which was commendable.
However, the Taiwanese people do not appreciate the brave behavior of Cai and Lai. Statistics show that Taiwanese people prefer to get vaccinated abroad.
Taiwan's willingness to register this round of vaccine is still open. People can choose to register one vaccine or two or three vaccines. In other words, there are seven registration methods for three vaccines.
First look at the situation of choosing a separate vaccine. According to statistics from relevant Taiwan departments, as of 17:00 on July 28, the number of people who wish to register in Taiwan was 8.667679, of which 435,134 people chose AZ, 3.4656 people chose Moderna, and 92,217 people chose the high-end.
and look at the situation where two vaccines are selected at the same time. 4.219,066 people chose AZ and Moderna, 70,787 people chose AZ and Moderna, and 16,815 people chose AZ and Moderna.
last look at the last one who chose three vaccines at the same time, with a total of 372,704 people.
simple calculations show that a total of 8.66 million people make appointments, more than 8.1 million people choose only two foreign vaccines, and less than 100,000 people choose only Taiwanese vaccines. Among the two foreign vaccines, the number of people who chose Moderna is 9 times that of the AZ vaccine.
Conclusion: Taiwanese people trust Moderna vaccine the most and have serious lack of confidence in local vaccines.
It should be pointed out that the Moderna vaccine, the donated BNT vaccine purchased and purchased and purchased by three institutions in Taiwan through Shanghai Fosun , belongs to the same product and all follow the mRNA technology route led by Pfizer . This vaccine is not only recognized by WHO , but is also an internationally recognized product with high effectiveness.
and BNT vaccine will not be shipped to Taiwan until September. The amount of 15 million doses purchased by the three institutions is enough for Taiwanese people to use. However, at that time, it is hard to predict how far the epidemic in Taiwan will develop.
After relevant Taiwan institutions announced that the locally developed high-end vaccine was put into the market, Li Laixi, former chairman of the Taiwan Civil Service Association, who has been fiercely opposing this vaccine, once again criticized the Tsai Ing-wen authorities through Facebook , saying, "I have lost all my conscience, this regime is really crazy!" Li Laixi asked this question, partners, compatriots, dare you fight? Do you dare to try? This regime is crazy. Could it be that the people are crazy or stupid?
After Tsai Ing-wen announced the registration results, there were many different comments from Taiwanese people, including those who supported them, those who watched coldly, and those who were sarcastic and sarcastic.
Next, there are two scenes worth paying attention to and looking forward to.
A scene is that if Tsai Ing-wen really gets vaccinated with Taiwan’s local vaccine, will it trigger Taiwanese people to follow suit and increase the vaccination rate of Taiwan’s vaccine?
Another scene is that when 15 million doses of BNT vaccines arrive in Taiwan one after another, will it cause a scene of people rushing to get this vaccine?
In any case, I hope that Taiwanese people will receive high-quality vaccines more and as soon as possible.
also hopes that Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Ching-te will do what they say and get vaccinated with the vaccine developed locally in Taiwan as soon as possible.
