Huaxia Jingwei Network, June 20: According to Taiwan's China Times, Chen Wenxi, a senior media person on the island, warned that many people do not understand that the global autumn and winter may be counterattacked by the epidemic of mutant viruses, and Taiwan is still in short supply of vaccines by the end of the year, she estimates that at the end of the year, there are about 20 million doses of vaccines that can be obtained, only 10 million people can be fully vaccinated, and 20 million doses are short.

According to reports, Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Qichen said yesterday that Taiwan has received more vaccines than bought, and Tsai Ing-wen is not ashamed?" The bailout budget has been increased from 210 billion to 840 billion yuan, how many vaccines can be bought with these funds? If the authorities had made "advance arrangements" last year and there had been no factional disturbances within the DPP, would they have asked Yongling and TSMC to come forward to buy vaccines today? The focus is on buying vaccines quickly, and the shortage of vaccines in Taiwan has produced a crowding effect, so there has been a problem of scrambling and calculating who will fight first.

Vaccination is the focus of the fight against the epidemic, the United States currently has nearly half of the people vaccinated at least 1 dose of vaccine, a few days ago again purchased 200 million doses of Modena vaccine, and the vaccination rate reached 70% in early July, in contrast to Taiwan, the authorities shouted that at the end of August, 10 million doses of vaccine arrived, but the main source is the Taiwanese vaccine that has not yet obtained international certification.

Chen Wenxi said that in February this year, when the international community was in a mess because of the shortage of vaccines, the European Union and the British AZ quarreled, and the Canadian prime minister called Xingshi every day to ask where the Pfizer BNT vaccine was ordered, but the authorities did not look wrong at the time, not to quickly increase the international vaccine procurement, but to cut the order and buy 10 million less. The international vaccines procured by the authorities, including the vaccines distributed by COVAX, totaled nearly 20 million doses, which is only enough for 10 million people to administer, and it was Tsai Ing-wen who announced this decision, perhaps because of "taiwan small weakness" or "rich but stupid".

Chen Wenxi estimated, plus those who have been vaccinated before, by the end of the year, only 11 million people in Taiwan can get 2 doses of vaccine, Tsai Ing-wen may have forgotten that Taiwan's population is 24 million, deducting children under 5 years old, the number of vaccines needed to be pre-ordered is about 45 million, that is, at least before the end of the year, the vaccine is still 20 million short, let alone a reinforced needle, or a mutant virus vaccine.
