江主席感謝郝龍斌、楊志良向法院遞狀停止高端EUA
國民黨今(2)日針對衛福部及食藥署核准高端疫苗緊急授權之事，對於衛福部部長陳時中及食藥署署長吳秀梅提刑事告發補充理由狀。
國民黨主席江啟臣表示，感謝郝龍斌前市長、楊志良前署長勇敢站出來，協助台灣人民向法院聲請停止執行，要求法院暫停衛福部對於高端疫苗的緊急授權。健康安全是人民最基本的保障，不該被如此廉價出賣！高端疫苗到目前為止都還沒有完成第2期的試驗，民進黨政府就急急忙忙地和高端公司簽約，花費40.3億臺幣採購了500萬劑「效果未明」的疫苗，這樣明目張膽的行為，在國民黨執政時期是不可能發生的。
本次國民黨補充告發理由，主要針對陳時中於110年5月與高端公司簽署40.3億元之採購契約時，明知高端疫苗尚在研發階段，與莫德納、AZ、輝瑞及嬌生等經歐盟、美國、日本等國認證之疫苗不同，短期之間無法取得相關國家之製造、輸入許可，縱日後取得我國緊急授權而得以製造、施打，接種高端疫苗之國人亦無法前往相關國家探親、旅遊、留學、公務訪問或從事商務活動。另，陳時中及吳秀梅明知高端疫苗產品不良率高達82%，且已無緊急情事，仍給予「高端新冠肺炎疫苗」緊急授權。陳時中及負責審核藥品緊急授權業務之食藥署署長吳秀梅今年7月中旬，一方面公開宣稱我國業已取得600餘萬劑疫苗，已無接受民間捐贈疫苗之急迫性，甚至持續拒絕佛光山、國民黨及地方政府自行採購或捐贈疫苗予我國政府，卻又在已無疫苗取得緊急性之情況下，涉及透過更換審查委員之方式，給予無法確定安全性、有效性，產品良率的高端疫苗緊急授權，以確保高端公司得以履行上揭疫苗採購契約，進而取得40.3億元之暴利，顯有圖利高端公司獲得不法利益之意圖，並該當貪污治罪條例第6條第1項第4款之特別圖利罪。
國民黨日前(110年7月20日)已向台北地檢署告發衛福部部長陳時中以及食藥署署長吳秀梅涉嫌圖利，此次補充告發理由，事涉國民健康以及疫情防治，希望地檢署儘快予以偵辦，並保全證據，以免民進黨以惡劣手段卸責。也期待行政法院能支持郝前市長以及楊前署長的訴求，在高端疫苗的有效性及安全性獲得嚴謹科學證據的檢驗及國際認證之前，不要對國民施打，以免造成公共衛生以及國民健康的危害。
Chairman Chiang Thanks Hau and Yang for Filing Court Documents Pleading to Suspend Medigen Vaccine’s EUA
Press Release
Culture and Communications Committee, Kuomintang
August 2, 2021
On August 2, the Kuomintang (KMT) delivered a statement of supplementary grounds at the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office against the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a criminal complaint previously filed by Johnny Chiang related to the controversial emergency use authorization (EUA) of domestically manufactured Medigen coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines. The KMT hopes that the delivery of the supplementary grounds will allow the prosecutors to expedite the investigation into the case.
The KMT alleges that MOHW Minister Chen Shih-chung and FDA Director-General Wu Hsiu-mei were profiteering and unjustly enriching Medigen Vaccine Biologics (MVC) Corporation under Article 6, Section 1, of the Anti-Corruption Act.
Chairman Chiang stressed that the government needs to ensure the basic health and safety of the people. Taiwan's Medigen vaccine is the world's first coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine officially approved using immuno-bridging, even before completing third-phase clinical trials.
Chairman Johnny Chiang thanked former Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-pin and former Minister of Health Yang Chih-liang for standing up on behalf of the people and requesting that the court suspend the Medigen vaccine’s EUA.
According to the submitted complaint, while the vaccine was still in the developmental stage in May, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration signed a contract totaling $4 billion NTD (approximately $144 million USD) to purchase five million doses without knowing the vaccine’s efficacy. In the short term, people who are inoculated with the Medigen vaccine, which lacks international certification, will be unable to visit relatives, travel, study abroad or engage in business activities in other countries.
According to the complaint, Minister Chen and Director-General Wu were well-aware that the defective rate of the Medigen vaccine was as high as 82 percent, but still granted its EUA. On the other hand, the officials stated in public that Taiwan had already obtained 6 million doses of vaccines, so there was no urgency to accept vaccine donations from private parties. Officials approved the EUA of the Medigen vaccine when its safety and efficacy had not been determined.
The KMT hopes that the Administrative Court can support the demands of former Mayor Hau and former Minister Yang that the Medigen vaccine should not be administered to the people without rigorous scientific evidence and international certification of the vaccine’s efficacy and safety, so as to protect the public health.
