民進黨政府嚴重自我矛盾、雙重標準
台積電張忠謀董事長代表蔡英文總統出席亞太經合會會議（APEC）「非正式領袖閉門會議」，提及台灣整體疫苗接種率依舊偏低、台灣需要盡快獲取更多的疫苗，中國國民黨認為，近來民進黨政府透過大內宣營造台灣疫苗已足夠的假象，不積極協助包括國民黨若干執政縣市在內的地方與民間組織購買疫苗，但又在APEC中說疫苗不足，根本是嚴重的自我矛盾、雙重標準。
國民黨表示，對於真正願伸出援手以舒緩台灣疫苗困境的國家與組織，國人均應給予誠摯的感謝。
但國民黨要三問蔡總統，如果台灣疫苗的數量如民進黨政府官員所說已經足夠：一、為何現在還是有非常多的民眾，只能望疫苗興嘆，不知何年何月才能接種，而且還發生多起因為疫苗不足所導致的爭打排序爭議？二、身為領袖代表的張董事長為何還需要在APEC這等國際場合大聲疾呼請求協助？三、我外交部為何不立即對國際宣布我國已不再需要疫苗捐贈？
國民黨另表示，最近蘇貞昌院長、陳時中部長、羅秉成政務委員兼發言人等，不斷誇稱台灣疫苗已足夠，或以軟釘子或冷嘲熱諷回應部分地方與民間組織的努力，而且江啟臣主席聯合南投、雲林、花蓮、台東四縣市首長，為購買德國BNT疫苗欲請見蔡總統，卻被總統府打官腔以及被民進黨政治攻訐，在在顯示民進黨已大膽到不去掩蓋政治凌駕人命的算計。
國民黨指出，民進黨政府對於民間團體的各種疫苗自救之舉，例如永齡基金會／鴻海、台積電、佛光山、孫文學校、慈濟、工商協進會等等，一開始施以技術性阻撓，直到民怨沸騰，在強大的輿論壓力下，蔡英文總統才被迫低頭，勉為其難讓步，民眾已了然於胸。目前，國民黨四縣市的疫苗洽購也仍在與中央政府交涉中，令人遺憾。
國民黨正告民進黨及其政府，不要再做疫苗收割機，明明在疫苗政策上缺乏超前部署，可為而不為，現在看到民間出錢出力購買國外疫苗、外國捐贈我國疫苗後，竟紛紛出面接收成果；若放任此種務虛、自滿、造神、極端缺乏反省能力的政府繼續咨意妄為，類此亂象將更為荒腔走板。
最後，國民黨強調，民進黨政府連疫苗到底夠不夠都說不清楚，也不讓國民黨立院黨團提案成立的疫苗採購調閱小組開會檢視相關資訊，又不斷雙標且傲慢無能，根本不值得台灣民眾的期待與託付。
DPP Government’s Grave Self-Contradictions and Double Standards
When former Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) Chairman Morris Chang, representing President Tsai Ing-wen, participated in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) “Informal Leaders’ Summit,” he mentioned that Taiwan’s overall vaccination rate remains inadequate and that Taiwan needs to acquire more vaccines as quickly as possible. The Kuomintang (KMT) believes the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government’s recent announcements that Taiwan has already secured sufficient vaccines are nothing but a façade. In addition, it has failed to proactively provide assistance to several counties and cities, including several counties and cities where the KMT holds office; the DPP has also failed to proactively provide assistance to NGOs purchasing vaccines. Yet, the DPP said at APEC that Taiwan doesn’t have sufficient vaccines: this is a grave self-contradiction and double standards.
The KMT states that our compatriots should all be sincerely grateful towards the countries and organizations that have been genuinely willing to lend a helping hand in order to ease Taiwan’s vaccine predicament.
However, the KMT has three questions for President Tsai Ing-wen, if the quantity of Taiwan’s vaccines is truly sufficient, as stated by DPP officials:
1) Why are there still numerous citizens who can only look at the vaccines and sigh, not knowing what month nor what year they can be vaccinated? There have even been numerous controversies regarding vaccination precedence due to insufficient vaccines.
2) Why did Chairman Chang, as APEC representative, need to let the whole world know that we need assistance at an international venue?
3) Why didn’t our Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) immediately announce to the international community that our nation no longer needs vaccine donations?
The KMT also states that recently, Premier Su Tseng-chang, Minister Chen Shih-chung, and Minister without Portfolio / Executive Yuan spokesman Lo Ping-cheng have unceasingly praised Taiwan for already having sufficient vaccines and have responded to the efforts of local governments and NGOs with either retorts or ridicule. Furthermore, the joint request from Chairman Johnny Chiang and the city/county leaders of Nantou, Yunlin, Hualien, and Taitung to meet with President Tsai and discuss purchasing the German BNT vaccine was met with empty rhetoric from the presidential palace and with political denouncement from the DPP. All of this clearly shows that the DPP has become so brazen that it doesn’t even bother hiding the fact that it cares more about political calculation than human life.
The KMT points out that although the DPP government cites the examples of various NGOs, such as the Yonglin Foundation/Foxconn, TSMC, Fo Guang Shan, the Sun Yat-Sen School, Tzu Chi Charitable Foundation, and the Chinese National Association of Industry and Commerce, all of which directly helped the people themselves, the DPP initially sought to inflict bureaucratic obstruction on these NGO’s. It was not until popular grievances boiled over and President Tsai Ing-wen was placed under immense pressure that she was compelled to give in and reluctantly concede. The people are already well aware of this. As of now, the vaccine purchase discussions of the four KMT city/county leaders still remain in the midst of central government negotiations. Sad!
To the DPP and the government, the KMT has this to say: your vaccine policy was obviously lacking in proactive deployment: you could have done something, but you didn’t. Now, after seeing NGOs putting in the effort to purchase foreign vaccines with their own money, and foreign countries donating vaccines to our country, you actually step forth to accept accolades. If this government, which ignores the above principles, remains complacent, entirely lacks the ability for self-reflection, and continues to take rash action without consulting others, the current situation will only descend further into chaos.
Lastly, the KMT emphasizes that the DPP government cannot even clearly state whether or not vaccines are sufficient, refuses to allow the vaccine procurement investigation committee, established via a bill initiated by the KMT Legislative Caucus, to hold a meeting and go over relevant information, and continuously holds double standards while being both arrogant and incompetent. The DPP government is entirely unworthy of the Taiwan people’s expectations and trust.
