politics on purchasing vaccines

● The Guardian, 2021-6-14:  ... refusing it is "entirely political”...“Pfizer and BioNTech have a huge incentive to ensure that the Fosun product is equivalent, so I would think there is no concern,”There's no reason not to take it....“It would be foolish to say no". 
Why has Taiwan rejected Fosun's Germany BioNTech vaccine doses ?   Nachman says:  it still seemed “in the DPP’s electoral interest not to get any China vaccines.  theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/14/how-taiwan-struggle-for-covid-vaccines-is-inflaming-tensions-with-china  In brief, Taiwan government cares its political benefits more than human lives.

● Taiwan's government only got limited vaccine doses, but deliberately to place obstacles (Foxconn says "invisible power") on civil organizations, such as Foxconn founder Gou, Buddhist groups, etc , purchasing and donating western vaccines to feller nationals.  United Daily, editorial, 2021-6-4 criticizes the gov. ignoring increasing deaths could be entitled "state enemy"   udn.com/news/story/7338/5507706?from=udn-catehotnews_ch2 UDN, editorial 2021-6-11 and China Times, editorial, 2021-6-11    Till now (2021-9-21), other civil orgs are still not allowed to purchase western vaccines given vaccine shortage.

● Global Times, 2021-6-12: Taiwan scholar, former official sue Taiwan president Tsai and other DPP officials for politicalizing pandemic ― misconduct, desire of profiting themselves and "killing people with policies."  Taiwan's regional authority has rejected 30 million doses of BioNTech-Fosun vaccine preordered by Taiwan pharmacopolists in 2020.
   an immoral country - ignoring high death rate

● according to Bloomberg's ranking, 2021-8-25, Taiwan's 3-month case-fatality rate is worst among countries of Asia & pacific, 3rd worst worldwide.    Johns Hopkins University: Taiwan has 8th highest case fatality rate on earth (July 2021).   Taiwan's CDC says 97 per cent of those who died of Covid-19 were over 50 .  However, Taiwan once eliminated elders aged 65-75 from vaccination list, and later gave those aged 60+  and with chronic disease 10th ~ 6th low priorities to get vaccinated, instead, gov. officers got 2nd priority, despite WHO's advice : government leaders and admin. personnel should be narrowly interpreted to "a very small number of individuals".  UDN, editorial, 2021-7-18: It's an unique case in democratic countries !  

●  Taiwan  moves Pfizer vaccine for seniors and people with chronic diseases to kids aged 12-22 with strongest immune system.  by contrast,  Associated Press, 2021-7-20 reports many public health experts have raised questions about the morality of inoculating low-risk children at a time when many of the most vulnerable people still lack access to vaccines. ... most young people, typically suffer only mild symptoms of the virus.

   abusing power & privilege

● Taiwan became a "The weak are the prey of the strong" jungle.  Big guys such as county mayor, tycoon, celebrity, ranking officials, etc sneak into vaccinations.  Top hospitals like Chen Hsin General Hospital abused its privilege to inoculate certain people.

 
●  Not only ruling party abuses its power, pan-blue politicians, such as former premier & vice president Lien Chan, 8 times law maker Huang Chao-shun, former law maker Chang Hsien-yao, Ting Shou-chung, sneaked into vaccination. Taipei city mayor at 2021-7-4 criticizes the country is making "vaccination priority" and declared he hold the list of privileged people in Presidential Office secretly getting vaccinated.

  cared money more than human lives

● United Daily, editorial, Jun. 2021:Taiwanese patients in serious situation waiting for one week but failed to get Remdesivir, a specific remedy for cure coronavirus, in spite of that CDC declaring adequate Remdesivir medication for patients.   In short, the stock is always enough because severe patients can't get it in time.  (udn.com/news/story/7339/5513808?from=udn-catehotnews_ch2  楊哲銘).
