國民黨：民進黨開記者會證實擋疫苗，蔡政府得了便宜還賣乖

針對民進黨團指稱國民黨主席選舉綁疫苗，中國國民黨今(15)日表示，民進黨始終得不到「政治惡鬥只會引發民怒」的教訓，日前民進黨團聲稱「疫苗夠了！」已經讓台灣人民一頭霧水、憤恨難平，請問民進黨，足夠的疫苗在哪裡？預購的疫苗何時來？民間企業、地方政府與在野黨幫忙買疫苗送給政府，執政黨不感到慚愧，還開記者會證明自己在擋疫苗採購，真的是得了便宜還賣乖！

國民黨不解，各縣市政府為自己的縣民或市民無法取得足夠疫苗擔心，與在野黨合作採購疫苗送給政府，執政黨不感到慚愧嗎？請問這與國民黨主席選舉有何關係？執政黨不知道苦民所苦，無法體會國人的需求與憂慮，卻企圖牽扯國民黨來轉移焦點，根本是逢國民黨必反，毫無為人民著想之心。

國民黨強調，國際間沒有一個政府採購疫苗效率這麼差，且5月28日衛福部公佈的通知，早就開放企業與地方政府可申請採購疫苗，民進黨團卻召開記者會聲稱地方政府沒有權限購買，是還活在五月底之前嗎？這不僅是民進黨阻擋疫苗採購的鐵證，更是在衝撞行政院衛福部的規定。請民進黨不要再做政治烏賊戰，抹黑在野黨不會讓執政黨變得清白，以民為重、用心施政、專心防疫，才是執政之道。

DPP holds a press conference to state that the vaccine procurement was blocked, perfect example of give knaves an inch and they will take a mile

In response to the DPP’s allegations that the KMT chairmanship election is using the vaccine issue as a political tool, the KMT stated on July 15th that the DPP has never learned the lesson that “Political battles will only infuriate the people.” The DPP claimed that “we have enough vaccines!”while leaving the people of Taiwan confused and resentful. It’s a simple question, where are the vaccines that you claim you have enough of? When will the purchased vaccines arrive? Private enterprises, local governments, and opposition parties such as the KMT are helping the government to do their job of purchasing the vaccine. Not only was the DPP not ashamed, they even held a press conference to prove that they were blocking vaccine purchases. It a perfect example of giving knaves an inch and they will take a mile.

The KMT is indeed confused. The county and city governments are worried that the public cannot obtain enough vaccine shots to the point where they are cooperating with other opposition parties to purchase vaccines and sending them to the government. Doesn't the ruling party feel ashamed? What does this have to do with the KMT chairmanship election? The ruling party does not know the suffering of the people and cannot understand the needs and worries of fellow countrymen. May we remind the DPP that attempts to involve the Kuomintang in this debacle is merely shifting the focus.

 The KMT continues to emphasize that such poor efficiency in procuring vaccines is something everyone can see, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on May 28 that companies and local governments have long been open to applications for vaccine purchases. However, the DPP held a press conference and claimed that local governments have no authority to purchase vaccines. This is not only an ironclad proof that the DPP is blocking vaccine procurement, but also a violation of the regulations from the Executive Yuan. Please stop the DPP from engaging in political warfare. Smearing the opposition party will not clear the ruling party of guilt. Prioritizing the people, governing with heart, and focusing on combating the pandemic is the way to govern the country.
