They went into an extreme position until they refused to buy a vaccine from China's distributor of Pfizer vaccine. The distributorship of Pfizer vaccine in the greater china region belongs to Fosun, a Chinese pharmaceutical company. Then, the US has banned most of the export of the Moderna vaccine. This left them with the worst vaccine available-Astrazeneca. Even with the Astrazeneca, they are too late in the procurement and only managed to get 300,000 doses so far. I just watched the press conference by President Cai. She still tried the placate the Taiwanese by mentioning the usage of Made-in-Taiwan vaccine, which is scheduled to complete its phase 2 trial this coming June. Taiwanese are screwed. Taiwan is a very sad case but they choose this government, so cannot blame anyone except those that didn't choose this government. The government is happy despite being screwed by their godfather, only the ordinary people suffer. Hope they remember this when they vote the next round if they managed to escape.

Vegas Turbocharged May 18, 2021 Share May 18, 2021 not many countries willing to sell to taiwan directly... countries cannot even recognise taiwan as a country... they cant escape from it whoever is the govt. back to covid 19, the amount of testing they are doing, is minimal for whatever reasons. tw and japan are 2 of the most mask on countries and yet cant escape the pandemic as it is. if have limited access to vaccines, then jia lat liao 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

China willing to provide but due to political reasons, TW government reject accepting, very similar to India.

China willing to provide but due to political reasons, TW government reject accepting, very similar to India. Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) has repeatedly stated that Taiwan will not import COVID-19 vaccines manufactured in China, citing a lack of data on their efficacy and safety, as well as restrictions under current laws. https://focustaiwan.tw/cross-strait/202103090017 Singapore has received about 200,000 doses of the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine as part of advanced purchases made last year, but these will not be used until the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has approved the vaccine.The HSA is unable to complete its evaluation and give its provisional approval until that additional data is submitted, said the Health Ministry's director of medical services Kenneth Mak. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/sinovac-vaccine-will-not-be-used-without-hsas-approval China has donated or is donating COVID-19 vaccines to 69 developing countries in urgent need and is exporting vaccines to 43 countries, according to Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on March 7. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2021-03-14/China-continues-to-contribute-to-global-vaccine-distribution-YCquwiznFK/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They preferred AZ which was rejected by many countries including USA. Their godfather although have AZ but still hold on and will only pass them maybe in June. Indonesia has gone ahead, so whether it was 50% effective or more, they have vaccine when they need. China would not give to Taiwan but willing to provide Indonesia? Just look at this situation you know what type of government is governing TW. Isn't this very sad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
