[China Jingwei Comprehensive Report] Recently, Yan Bowen, CEO of Tzu Chi Charity Foundation, revealed that Tzu Chi was suffering from various difficulties when she was going to buy the BNT vaccine last year. In response, Chen Shizhong, former commander of the Taiwan epidemic command center and candidate for Taipei mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, retorted that "there is absolutely no stopping the vaccine"; the Taiwan administrative department also strongly denied it. Subsequently, the pro-green media and cyber troops quickly dispatched to slander Tzu Chi.
However, Chen Shizhong was previously asked to disclose the price of the vaccine procurement contract. In order to help Chen Shizhong solve the danger, the "epidemic command center" only generally stated that by the end of this year, the total amount was 40.86 billion yuan ( New Taiwan dollars , the same below). However, compared with the vaccine information on and off the island, based on the average price of vaccines of each brand, the same dose amount is about 33.54 billion yuan, which is as different from the purchase amount announced by the "Command Center". The island's epidemic prevention experts criticized "This is naked corruption", which is exactly the same as the profit of "black hearts and quick screening". The DPP jumped at the touch, which also allowed the Taiwanese people to truly see how many unlimited operations green camp politicians can do for their own selfishness.
Counterattacking the purchase of vaccines by private people
Last year, the epidemic broke out in Taiwan. The DPP authorities did not purchase vaccines in advance, making Taiwan a "vaccine island", but they still obstructed private groups from purchasing vaccines in every possible way. This incident can be said to be vivid in my mind.
According to Global Times , Huang Shanshan, an independent Taipei mayor candidate on the island, further revealed on September 12 that the Taipei Municipal Government had compiled 2.8 billion yuan to buy a vaccine last year. As a result, Mayor Ke Wenzhe asked Chen Shizhong, then the epidemic prevention commander, to talk to Chen Shizhong, who said, "No need to buy it anymore, I have bought 40 million doses." Huang Shanshan said bluntly that the key point is not whether you can buy it or not, but whether the Taiwan authorities let you buy it. "Tzu Chi is right", everyone knows that they are stuck in the DPP epidemic prevention authority.
DPP has repeatedly denied it. Taiwan's administrative agency spokesman Luo Bingcheng made five points on the 11th, arguing that "there is no obstacle to the situation." Chen Shizhong said angrily on the 12th, "Am I a lunatic? Why should I stop it?" On the same day, the "Epidemic Prevention Command Center" held a press conference. Zhou Zhihao, the Taiwan authorities' "Director of Disease Control" said that the failure to purchase Bitai was due to "external intervention"; the current epidemic prevention commander Wang Bisheng once again blamed the mainland; on the 13th, Tsai Ing-wen's office issued a five-point statement denied blocking the vaccine.
However, many people on the island do not believe this set of rhetoric by the DPP. The Kuomintang party group criticized on the 13th that Chen Shizhong clearly blocked the vaccine, and even said that the vaccine that the founder of Hon Hai Group, , Terry Gou, , wanted to buy was "mainland OEM", and regarded the whole people as fools; the Kuomintang Taipei Mayor candidate Jiang Wan'an lamented on the 13th, how much benefit is it worth the DPP's overwhelming smear Tzu Chi? How much pressure is it that Tzu Chi endures for a year and dares to tell the truth after donating the vaccine? How many Great compassion made Master Zheng Yan humiliated by famous mouths and cyber army and still didn't say a word? He said that 5 million doses of mercy vaccines have flowed into Taiwanese people. "We will accompany Tzu Chi to fight the evil of the DPP with thanks and mercy." Public opinion representative Zheng Liwen asked back, if the DPP authorities think Tzu Chi's statement is untrue, why doesn't the DPP, which loves to fight fake news, directly issue a penalty?

Former Democratic Progressive Party public opinion representative Shen Fuxiong directly pointed out the source of the problem in "cross-strait relations". He said that the DPP authorities ignored the dependence of cross-strait trade of more than 45%, believing that vaccines that are related to people's lives and safety have special symbolic significance, so they were unwilling to pass through the mainland at the beginning and attempted to purchase directly from the original factory. As a result, they encountered a wall. Shanghai Fosun insisted that Taiwan is its agent area and that the original German factory would not be sold directly to Taiwan. At this time, the DPP authorities lied to those who were interested in donating to all parties that they could not buy it. "This is the place where the DPP is not honest and openly lying without blushing, and it is also the crux of the entire case." Wu Zijia, chairman of the island's green media "Beautiful Island Electronic News", mentioned on the 13th that the chaos in vaccine procurement contracts and high-end vaccines are hidden behind it, and the green camp ignored the lives and death of the Taiwanese people and only cared about personal gain.
Taiwan media commented that reviewing the history of Bitai vaccine procurement, the DPP authorities not only blocked the vaccine, but also took the lead in smearing the red vaccine. Including Chen Shizhong and Li Bingying, an expert from the "Command Center", released the news that Fosun's Fubitai and Pfizer BNT are different vaccines, and Terry Gou bought a vaccine that was about to expire, etc., in an attempt to create public opinion against the purchase of Fosun. In the end, these rumors were self-defeated. The article said that in addition to resuming Bitai, Taiwan’s health and welfare department has also blocked many units from donating vaccines.
corruption in vaccine procurement
Jiang Wan'an held a press conference on August 22 to question Chen Shizhong's new crown vaccine purchase price. Wang Bisheng, the successor epidemic prevention commander, held a brief press conference to announce that by the end of this year, it is estimated that a total of 53.51 million doses of vaccines arrived on the island, with a total purchase amount of 40.86 billion yuan, an average of 765 yuan per dose.

In fact, the prices of vaccines of different brands vary. The "command center" only generally publishes the average price, and intends to conceal the actual situation.
According to the statement when the "Command Center" was announced, according to the average value of each brand, the total price of 53.51 million doses of vaccine is about 33.54 billion yuan, which is 40.86 billion yuan from the "Command Center" announced, with the gap between the two being as high as 7 billion yuan. The DPP authorities are probably "expensive to buy" when purchasing COVID-19 vaccines!
Go back to March 8 this year. When Chen Shizhong was questioned about the vaccine purchase price by the Taiwanese legislative agency, he revealed that the Taiwanese authorities purchased AZ vaccines at US$5 to US$7 per dose and US$30 per dose of Moderna. But each dose of AZ vaccine can be purchased internationally for only $2.15, and the purchase price of the DPP authorities is as high as twice.
Former Taiwan's "Director of Health" Yang Zhiliang said that the "command center" is constantly "blocking" (referring to covering up the truth) from masks, fast screening to vaccine procurement, so that the public can't see where the money is spent; the prices of vaccines of different brands vary, and the "command center" should be weighted based on the procurement quantity ratio, rather than directly calculating the average price, which is even more suspicious.
, Chairman of the Taiwan Epidemic Prevention Society, Wang Renxian, criticized that Taiwan's health and welfare authorities' past vaccine procurement has never been confidential. Even if the new crown vaccine contract needs to be kept confidential, it can be decrypted long ago when the procurement is over. There is no need to hide. It is sealed for 30 years, which may be because the price is too ugly. The "command center" is guilty and dare not see the light. This is naked corruption.

and it is understood that DPP politicians have an indescribable relationship with Taiwan's Medigen Biotechnology Company. The company developed high-end vaccines. The high-end vaccines did not go through the third phase clinical trials. The DPP authorities pre-ordered 5 million doses to promote high-end vaccines, so that the DPP can benefit the DPP.
Combined with these three incidents, it is no surprise why the DPP authorities have tried every means to stop enterprises and private groups from purchasing vaccines.
