As the epidemic spreads on the island, the problem of insufficient vaccines in Taiwan has come to the forefront. The president of Taiwan’s “Sunwen School” and professor of the Department of Political Science at Taiwan University, Zhang Yazhong, went to the Taiwan health authority on the morning of the morning of the 331st to submit the application for vaccine import in person. Zhang Yazhong said that he has obtained 5 million doses of German BNT vaccine through donations from Taiwanese businessmen and mainland friends and 5 million doses of mainland Sinopharm vaccine. If there is still a need, a second wave of donations will continue under the condition of production permits. As for what vaccines Taiwanese people should choose to get, they respect the free choices of the people.
Not long ago, after he announced that he would accept 10 million doses of vaccine donations, the DPP authorities issued the latest "response" of vaccine policy, emphasizing that two major principles must be followed: one is that the DPP authorities must sign contracts with the original vaccine manufacturer to purchase; the other is that the authorities must coordinate and allocate them.
Regarding the so-called "two major principles", Zhang Yazhong said that the DPP authorities' "cold response" made him very dissatisfied. He believes that the DPP authorities should make it clear whether they accept donations from everyone. Emergency relief is like putting out a fire. Don’t delay the opportunity to save people with long administrative procedures. The people of Taiwan have urgent needs for life safety. I hope the DPP authorities will change their course and agree to the entry of this batch of vaccines into Taiwan as soon as possible.
The DPP authorities disregarded human lives and tried every means to obstruct the entry of vaccines into Taiwan, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people on the island.
According to the latest polls on the island, more than 80% of the respondents agree that the DPP authorities purchase German BNT (Fobitai) vaccine through mainland agents. In addition, the poll also showed that 87% said they were willing to receive vaccines, but 82% had no confidence in the authorities obtaining sufficient vaccines.
79% of netizens expressed their lack of confidence in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic by the DPP authorities; 74% were dissatisfied with Chen Shizhong, the head of the epidemic prevention department, and up to 80% expressed their dissatisfaction with Tsai Ing-wen's political performance.
