防疫淪為專制 蔡總統容不下專業、多元的聲音
中國國民黨文傳會主委王育敏、副主委黃子哲今(8)日上午召開「防疫淪為專制 蔡總統容不下專業、多元的聲音」記者會指出，中研院院士陳培哲講出國產疫苗的真話，點名蔡英文就是「最大的困難」，民進黨隨即慣性發動大批親綠人士與網軍抹黑打壓，突顯蔡政府的防疫已走向專制獨裁之路，一個完全聽不進專業、多元聲音的政府，怎麼還好意思說「一切以科學為準」？
王育敏強調，英國金融時報報導稱，「台灣疫情失守的兩大主因，一是欠缺大規模篩檢機制，另一個是大家不敢「逆時中」、「質疑中央」的官僚文化。」國際媒體都看得出來，蔡政府的防疫走向越來越專制，陳培哲請辭疫苗審查委員，就是最好的明證。蔡總統很早就告訴大家，七月底大家都要打到國產疫苗，「先射箭、再畫靶」的說法，形同架空專業審查委員的聲音，陳培哲院士堅持於專業層面提出質疑，卻遭到無情抹黑與打壓，「難道台灣現在已不能表達不同的聲音」？蔡政府拒絕聆聽專業審查的聲音，讓國人如何能相信未來國產疫苗的安全性與有效性？
王育敏指出，去年美國疫情非常嚴峻，各界希望其國產疫苗儘快到位，但也沒看到當時的美國總統川普去干預專業審查過程，連川普都不會干預的專業領域，蔡總統不但公然干預，還設下期限，國民黨要求蔡總統應檢討反省。同時，對於陳培哲院士遭到親綠名嘴抹黑與綠營網軍謾罵攻擊，王育敏也質疑「蔡總統還記得民主自由四個字怎麼寫嗎」？國民黨呼籲蔡總統立即約束、制止綠營內部，停止繼續發動網軍攻擊陳培哲院士。
黃子哲表示，陳培哲日前直言國產新冠肺炎疫苗選錯技術，七月不可能通過緊急使用授權(EUA)，隨即引發網軍攻擊及批評，媒體人周玉蔻更爆料，陳培哲是食藥署疫苗審查委員之一。國民黨質疑，疫苗審查委員名單過去一向不公開，先前多次拿到衛福部「獨家」的媒體人卻能知悉陳培哲的委員身分，擺明是蔡政府內部刻意洩密，這種洩密找親綠媒體人修理，再配合網軍猛轟的手法，就是民進黨標準的「國家機器」打壓模式，蔡政府應該對人民說清楚講明白。
黃子哲指出，對於陳培哲請辭國產疫苗審查委員，並直指審查委員會已不能維持獨立性與專業性，點名最大困難就是總統蔡英文。府方的回應是「不解與遺憾」；但基於陳培哲院士的專業地位，這項對蔡英文總統的直接指控，府方的回應顯然不足，國民黨要求總統府必須面對陳培哲的說法，詳細說明國產疫苗的全盤上市過程，以釋眾疑。
王育敏強調，支持國產疫苗在安全性與有效性得到充分驗證的前提下開發上市，但如果蔡政府不積極對外採購疫苗，卻讓國產疫苗僅做到第二期臨床試驗就匆忙上市，不顧國人健康執意施壓放行，相信全民都不會認同！
Tsai Gov’t Becomes More Authoritarian as It No Longer Accept Professionalism and Diverse Views in Covid Prevention
The Kuomintang (KMT) held a press conference this morning (June 8) on "President Tsai cannot tolerate professional and diverse voices, and the pandemic prevention has become authoritarian". During the press conference, Chen Pei-che (陳培哲), an academician of the Academia Sinica (中研院), told the truth about domestic vaccines, naming President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) as "the biggest difficulty". The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) immediately mobilized a large number of DPP supporters and netizen armies to launch a smear campaign against Chen. This highlights the fact that the Tsai government's pandemic prevention has moved toward a path of autocracy. How can a government that is totally ignorant of professionalism and has zero tolerance for multiple voices claim that its pandemic prevention efforts are scientific?
The Financial Times pinpointed two main problems behind the recent surge of Covid-19 infectious cases in Taiwan in a news article of June 1st. One is the government’s inability to build a sufficient mass testing capacity., and another is more “cultural or personal” as “Health Minister Chen Shih-Chung’s (陳時中)stellar record in keeping the virus out for so long has earned him so much authority that other public health experts have been discouraged from challenging him.” Even foreign media outlets can sense that the Tsai government is moving toward autocracy in its pandemic prevention efforts. Chen Pei-che’s resignation from the vaccine review committee demonstrates the best proof of that. Earlier this year, President Tsai promised that domestic vaccine would be ready in Taiwan by the end of July. The "shoot the arrow first, then draw the target" behavior of the Tsai government is tantamount to mufflingmembers of the vaccine review committees. Academician Chen Pei-che raised doubts from the professional point of view but was ruthlessly smeared. Does this mean that people of Taiwan can no longer express opposing opinions from those of the government? The Tsai government refuses to listen to those with professionalism. How can people put their trust in the government for the safety and effectiveness of domestic vaccines in the future?
When the US pandemic was severe last year, although Americans hoped that their US-made vaccines could be ready as soon as possible, then US President Donald Trump did not intervene in the professional review process. However, compared with the US, President Tsai not only blatantly intervened in the development of domestic-made vaccines, but also assured the people that a deadline for vaccine production was set. In response, the KMT urged President Tsai to reflect on her mistakes. In the meantime, regarding Academician Chen Pei-che’s being slandered by pro-DPP TV pundits and netizens, the KMT would like to ask, "Does President Tsai still remember how to write the words democracy and freedom in Chinese?" The KMT called on President Tsai to immediately ask her followers to exercise self-restraint and refrain from launching an online smear campaign against academician Chen Pei-che.
Chen Pei-che resigned from the domestic vaccine review committee and pointed out that the review committee could no longer maintain its independence and professionalism. He even identified President Tsai Ing-wen as the biggest difficulty. The response from the Office of the President was "we feel sorry for the misunderstanding". However, based on the professional status of academician Chen Pei-che and his accusation against President Tsai, the Office of the President’s response is obviously insufficient. The KMT urges the Office of the President to face squarely Chen Pei-che’s remarks and explain in detail to the public the entire rollout plan of domestic-made vaccines in order to dispel the doubts of the people.
The KMT supports the rollout of domestic-made vaccines as long as they are safe and effective. However, if the Tsai government continues to acquire overseas vaccines in a passive manner, and hastily approve the use of domestic-made vaccines although still in the second phase of clinical trials, it only proves the fact that the Tsai government never cares about people’s health.
