原來政府在意的只是‘ 面子 ‘ 嗎？！
真沒想到幾個外媒， 包含Times用了一致的標題：
Taiwan Recruits TSMC, Foxconn to Secure BioNTech Vaccines
台灣政府‘ 徵用 ‘了台積電與富士康購買輝瑞疫苗！
真的難以置信！如此外宣的意義為何！
民間低下的請求你恩準捐贈急迫需要的疫苗
沒有真心的感謝 也沒聽見民間感激的聲音
卻在國際發布這是：兩家企業‘ 蒙你徵召 ‘ 完成購買疫苗的使命
這是讓人失望 難以尊重的政府
你的每個用字充滿心機 算計
政治操作到讓人作噁的地步！
What do you want to prove to the world !
I’m sorry I have to say it is not true:
TSMC and Foxconn were not ‘ recruited ’ by the government to purchase the vaccines, but on the contrary, each of these two companies ‘ purchased and donated to the government 5 millions BNT vaccines out of their own pocket and out of their compassion to the people of Taiwan who are suffering from serious insufficient supplies of vaccines. However the process wasn’t smooth and easy at all that they almost gave it up at one time ⋯!
The government was not happy to buy from BNT its Asian sole agent in Shanghai so not only they said it is impossible to buy but also make it very difficult for whoever want to help and want to donate vaccines here in Taiwan. For almost two months, as everyone here knows it, that Foxconn has gone through many procedures and submitted numerous documents requested by the government in getting their permission to buy and to donated the vaccines that are desperately in need here ! After much effort and their final request to see the president Tsai in person, plus the pressure from general public here, the government finally agreed to give authorisation to these two companies to buy the BNT vaccines however insisting the vaccines has to send from Germany directly to Taiwan.
My point is the government should not take credit for it but they should apologise to the people that they have not done enough to purchase the vaccines and could have saved more lives of the victims of Covid 19 here in Taiwan!
