By listing four different scenes and identities (Epidemic Command Center commander, gay bar, Legislative Yuan, Taipei Mayoral candidate), this article briefly presents the multiple faces of former Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung in the public eye. The main content is a meme juxtaposing his different images, highlighting his diverse roles in political and social life.
While the Mainland was suffering from floods and people were in pain, Ku Ling stepped out and loudly emphasized that China had 100 million doses of BNT vaccines but didn't donate a single dose to Taiwan. Now, whoever dares to donate money to China, he would curse them.
Public health expert Chiu Shu-ti issues a dire warning to the DPP government and Commander Chen Shih-chung. Alarms are sounding in hospitals, during transfers, and across communities due to a series of preventable mistakes in pandemic management.
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 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.
