During the COVID-19 pandemic, an online narrative accused former Health Director Yang Chih-liang of unprofessionalism for suggesting disciplinary action against an infected medical worker. However, a full review of his comments reveals he was criticizing the breach of SOP and failure to report exposure, not the infection itself.
The Central Epidemic Command Center announced that the 1922 vaccination booking platform opened for the 21st booster (third dose) round on January 26, 2022, with administration scheduled from February 7 to February 13 after the Lunar New Year. Citizens who have 'fully received two doses for at least 12 weeks and are 18 years or older' will be split into three age-based stages for booking. The article details the opening times for each age group and reminds citizens to check their eligibility and prepare their vaccination and NHI cards for administration.
When the DPP used to protest the Kuomintang and humiliate former President Ma Ying-jeou, they loved to criticize them for only looking at numbers without any human warmth.
Over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus—viewed by a few foolish Taiwanese as the world's enemy—remains in his high seat at the WHO, managing the global crisis.
The article criticizes the 'relief chaos' in early 2020 caused by the Executive Yuan's distribution of subsidies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The author points out that Premier Su Tseng-chang's unwillingness to adopt the consumption voucher model because of 'saving face' led to a chaotic subsidy plan, triggering public resentment. When Su Tseng-chang stepped forward to defend Health Minister Chen Shih-chung from being scolded, the author questions whether Su Tseng-chang was 'switching concepts' to divert hatred toward Chen Shih-chung, as the main target of public scolding was Su Tseng-chang, the decision-maker. The article specifically mentions that Su Tseng-chang's daughter, Legislator Su Chiao-hui, was also one of the voices intensely criticizing the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), and satirizes Su Tseng-chang for 'signing a settlement agreement before discussing compensation' during his apology, which contrasts sharply with New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi's attitude of taking immediate responsibility.
This article observes cross-strait relations under the COVID-19 (Wuhan Pneumonia) pandemic, pointing out that despite mutual hatred, the thinking and actions of both governments and their people are highly similar. This similarity is evident in the government's absolute control over information and propaganda, the people's obedience and collective attacks on critical voices, and the external public opinion wars. The author believes this consistent mentality stems from being 'inferior yet arrogant,' concluding that both sides are essentially 'twins who hate each other,' thereby proving that 'blood is thicker than water.'
This article raises strong questions about Health Minister Chen Shih-chung's statement during the early stages of COVID-19: 'If epidemic prevention fails, Taiwan is destroyed.' The author criticizes the statement's flawed logic and questions whether the Tsai Ing-wen government's crisis management capability is inferior to even the Chen Shui-bian administration during the SARS era. The article accuses the DPP of politicizing epidemic prevention, whipping supporters into a frenzy purely to maintain electoral advantage. The piece concludes by questioning Chen Shih-chung on when Japan—a country also experiencing outbreaks—would see its nationals restricted from entering Taiwan, implying double standards in epidemic prevention.
This article compares the responses of the US, Japan, South Korea, and Germany during the initial outbreak of the Wuhan Virus in early 2020 to criticize Taiwan's government (Democratic Progressive Party) pandemic prevention policy. The author points out that the US, Japan, and Germany took supportive actions such as sharing technology, donating or discounting masks, and developing inhibitors, while Taiwan's government was the first to issue orders prohibiting mask sales and restricting mask carrying to mainland China. The author questions whether the Democratic Progressive Party was merely employing feints on professional pandemic prevention, manufacturing political division.
