9 On the 9th, Su Zhenchang, the head of the Taiwan administrative agency, accepted the question from the Blue Camp civil agent Yang Qiongying. When responding to the island's "when will we get the vaccine?", he said, "It's just like buying frozen chicken legs. We have ordered it. The other party doesn't ship it. Do we want to scold ourselves?"
Su Zhenchang's remarks surprised everyone.
Is Taiwan lacking chicken legs now? Will eating less chicken legs kill people? According to statistics from Taiwan media, if the outbreak of the local new crown epidemic since May 11, the cumulative number of 10,671 confirmed cases and the cumulative number of deaths has reached 321. The average mortality rate of this local epidemic is 3%, far higher than the current global average mortality rate of 2.16%.
Faced with the severe shortage of vaccines on the island and the high mortality rate of dozens of people die every day, Su Zhenchang's remarks made Yang Qiongying speechless, while Zheng Zhaoxin, vice chairman of the Kuomintang Cultural and Communication Association, was so sorry that Su Zhenchang is the "king of the word" and is a special chef who was delayed by the "Premier of the Executive Yuan".
Former Kuomintang Chairman Hong Hsiu-chu criticized Su Zhenchang for using wrong metaphor to shirk responsibility for Taiwan's vaccine shortage, but instead highlighted the DPP's arrogance, evilness and ignorance.
Does of lives are dying in Taiwan every day, and life cannot be exchanged for chicken legs.
Hung Hsiu-chu criticized that over the past year, the DPP authorities have continuously released the message of Taiwan’s “overbought vaccines” to the media, causing a huge gap between the people’s perception of the epidemic and the reality. Is it possible that the DPP authorities have no responsibility for the harm and anxiety caused to society by the shortage of vaccines?
Hung Hsiu-chu is probably right. At least for Su Zhenchang, he does not think that he and the DPP authorities, who are in charge, should be responsible for the serious shortage of vaccines in Taiwan.
"Overbought vaccine": "big internal publicity" or "corruption and fraud"?
In December 2020, when the local epidemic in Taiwan had not yet occurred on a large scale, Chen Shizhong, head of the Taiwan Health and Welfare Department, excitedly announced that Taiwan's vaccine procurement exceeded expectations, including AstraZeneca 10 million doses, BNT 10 million doses, 5 million doses of Covax (the implementation plan for the new crown pneumonia vaccine), and 5 million doses of local vaccines, a total of 30 million doses.
On December 31, 2020, Chen Shizhong once again confirmed that he had purchased 20 million doses of the new crown vaccine and would be supplied in March 2021.
In February 2021, the Taiwan Health and Welfare Department announced another 5.05 million doses of Moderna vaccine. In February, Su Zhenchang claimed that tens of millions of doses of vaccines had been signed for purchase.
On February 19, 2021, Tsai Ing-wen said that nearly 20 million doses of vaccines were purchased on the island, so please rest assured.
Although Tsai Ing-wen and the number of vaccine purchases mentioned by the Taiwan Health and Welfare Department is 10 million doses away, if the epidemic is stable, if it is done, it is indeed considered "advanced deployment." However, the outbreak of the local epidemic in Taiwan in May this year revealed that the "advanced deployment" of the DPP authorities' vaccines was actually just "large internal publicity" and more likely to be a trick to corruption and fraud. Because, although the goods have not arrived, the DPP authorities have spent money and are still adding budgets. The spreading epidemic in Taiwan has made Taiwan urgently need vaccines, and "private" people have expressed their willingness to donate and contact the donation to buy vaccines. Regarding the people on the island's high hopes for the donation of vaccines by the founder of Hon Hai , Su Zhenchang once said that he admired Guo Taiming's enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and was very sure, and was willing to help from all parties.
Guo Taiming or anyone who has this intention will help.
It can be seen from this that Su Zhenchang does not have the consciousness of the head of the Taiwan administrative agency. It seems that the lack of vaccines on the island is not related to the DPP authorities' affairs or the person in charge; it seems that the vaccines cannot be bought on the island, and it is appropriate for "civilian" people to contribute money and efforts, but the DPP authorities don't care, and they don't know who is helping whom. It’s no wonder that Terry Gou donated 5 million doses of German BNT vaccine and the International Foguang Association donated 500,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which has not been solved so far.
Taiwan's Epidemic Command Center announced on the 10th that Taiwan added 263 new local new confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia in a single day, and more than 100 local confirmed cases have been reported for 27 consecutive days. Another 28 new deaths and 3 imported cases were reported.The local epidemic continues to expand, and the number of deaths caused by the epidemic remains high. Taiwan is still in a vaccine panic. Arrogant politicians cannot save the spreading epidemic in Taiwan. Only vaccines can. But in the eyes of senior DPP officials who compare vaccines to frozen chicken legs, is the lives of the Taiwanese people valuable?
