It is worth noting that the biggest controversy point of the "high-end" vaccine at present is not its protective effect, nor is it the unit price of the DPP authorities purchasing "high-end" vaccines.

Recently, the "high-end" vaccine produced on the island has become a major controversy, and the people on the island have criticized it very much. It is worth noting that the biggest controversy point of the "high-end" vaccine at present is not its protective effect, nor is it the unit price of the DPP authorities purchasing "high-end" vaccines. Instead, the "high-end" vaccine is not recognized by many countries and regions in the international community such as Japan, the United States, and Europe. According to the previous blue camp "legislators", in the world, except for Paraguay , no country in the world recognizes Taiwan's "high-end" vaccine.

This is very interesting. Paraguay is famous for being "chaos" in South America. How could Taiwanese people travel to such a place? So Taiwanese people who received the "high-end" vaccine were very angry. Because the "high-end" vaccine is not recognized by other countries, every time they want to travel to , they need to spend NT$ 3,500 NT$ for nucleic acid. Only by holding a negative nucleic acid certificate can they enter the country.

Amid the complaints of the people, the DPP authorities were forced to come out to respond and give the people an explanation. On the afternoon of October 19, the island's epidemic prevention commander Wang Bisheng held a press conference and announced that all Taiwanese people who have received the "high-end" vaccine can get 1-3 doses of other vaccines recognized by the international community and the WHO .

However, Wang Bisheng said at the press conference that if a vaccine brand other than "high-end" is given the first and second doses, it is regarded as a base agent, with four weeks apart; if the third dose is given, it is regarded as an additive, with a 12-week interval. This is really interesting. If calculated according to this, if Taiwanese people want to complete the vaccination of other vaccines, so as to avoid paying for nucleic acid self-test fees and possible isolation after entering the country, it will take at least 16 weeks, which is nearly four months. Can those who want to travel afford it? If the epidemic in Japan suddenly rebounds in large quantities during this period of time, it is estimated that the entry and exit policy will change again, and the Taiwanese people will be angry again and missed such an opportunity to travel.

So after the Taiwan epidemic prevention department announced the plan to "free supplementary vaccines for other vaccines", the island caused great controversy, and the people were very dissatisfied with this. On October 20, the Democratic Progressive Party’s online thugs and pro-green media person, Zhou Yukou , opened fire again against the “replenishment plan”, bombarding the “high-end” and the island’s epidemic prevention departments.

She criticized in the island's live broadcast program "News Firecrackers" that the epidemic command center made the behavior of eliminating "high-end" vaccines from Taiwan and people who want to leave the country to get vaccines from other brands of vaccines is ridiculous, and "high-end" companies should pay for nucleic acid testing. Zhou Yukou further criticized: "This is simply a fooling public. If I want to go next week and get three doses of high-end, the announced method is to ask you to get vaccinated. The method announced yesterday was too late. Did they not expect it when they announced it? This is really a 'civil servant mentality', because it is not urgent at all, and it is a waste of money."

It is worth noting that Zhou Yukou seems to have been targeting "high-end". Previously, on October 13, Zhou Yukou was violently bombarded the "high-end" company because he was vaccinated with the "high-end" vaccine. But before this, Zhou Yukou had been waving the flag for the "high-end" vaccine, which is really ironic.

However, let "high-end" companies take over the cost of nucleic acid testing for for the public. How is this possible? According to data released by Wang Bisheng at a press conference on October 19, 1 million people in Taiwan received the first dose of "high-end" and more than 300,000 people received the "high-end" three doses. The number of people who need to get other vaccines may be between 300,000 and 1 million. It costs NT$3,500 for a nucleic acid test on the island. If the "high-end" has to pay out of your own pocket and cover the nucleic acid test costs of the people, this is a considerable amount.

This is just a paper number. If the number of people who are vaccinated with "high-end" vaccines increases, the amount paid by "high-end" companies will be more. So for "high-end" companies, Zhou Yukou's proposal simply doesn't work.

I have to say that in the future, the troubles of "high-end" companies may continue.
