[article/ Observer.com Guo Xiao] The director of a Taiwan military hospital was revealed to have opened an additional outpatient clinic privately to give vaccines to "relationship households", and was fined NT$2 million (about 463,000 RMB) by the local government after According to a report by the Taiwanese media " United News Network " today (13th), the government fined the hospital may be paid by the defense department of Taiwan, which means that the people on the island are paying the bill. After the incident was exposed, some netizens questioned, "Who is this punishing?" These three types of people are vaccinated.
On the 10th, an anonymous person broke the news to the media that Cui Yiwei, director of the Hsinchu Branch of the Taiwan Army Taoyuan General Hospital, suddenly opened additional outpatient clinics and night clinics on the 8th and 9th of this month to vaccinate non-frontline medical staff. Most of these people are surnamed Cui. , are not hospital employees, and some names are only one word different from Cui Yiwei, and they are suspected of being "related households", so they are questioned about their abuse of power.
Subsequently, the hospital responded that "this is a misunderstanding" and that the reason for giving the shots to outsiders was because "there were extra vaccines that day, so they were vaccinated to some people in nearby clinics and the dean's family and relatives, and the health bureau was also notified of the process. ”
That night, the hospital’s superior department, Taiwan’s defense department, issued a statement of apology, and at the same time said that Cui Yiwei, the director, would be adjusted immediately.
In addition, the Hsinchu City Government fined the hospital NT$2 million (approximately RMB 463,000), and the director of the Health Center who participated in the incident and knew about it was also demoted.
However, yesterday, an employee of the hospital broke the news that the 2 million fined by the hospital will be paid for by the defense department, which also means that the public will pay for its mistakes. The response of the
municipal government department also indirectly confirmed this statement. It stated, "Cui Yiwei was fined 2 million yuan for arranging vaccinations for non-front-line medical staff. This is a punishment for the hospital, not the director." The media was criticized, and some netizens ridiculed, "I was fined for violating the law and discipline, but it didn't cost me a dime. It's really great." Just 2 days before this happened (8th), a liver disease treatment private clinic "Good Heart and Liver" clinic in Taipei City was also exposed to vaccinate non-front-line medical staff. On the night of
, the foundation of the clinic, , quickly issued a statement arguing that the people who were vaccinated this time were all important personnel who maintained the operation of the foundation. Considering that even if the epidemic is under control in the future, these personnel may be exposed to risks. Taiwan's liver disease prevention program will also be affected, so vaccinate them first.
According to Zhongshi News.com, these so-called "important personnel who maintain the foundation", including well-known anchors, media bosses, corporate executives, chamber of commerce presidents, etc., are all donors who have given platforms or donated money to good-hearted people. The difference between
and the Taiwan military hospital incident is that the aforementioned hospital is an official hospital, and the authorities will directly distribute vaccines to them, while the latter is a private clinic. Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe has made it clear that he will not distribute vaccines to private clinics. So, how did the latter get the vaccine? According to Taiwan media reports, the person in charge of the "Good Heart" clinic is Ke Wenzhe's mentor. In addition, according to the survey, a total of 6 private clinics have received the vaccine this time.
Regarding this, Taiwanese anchor Song Yanmin directly complained: "All incidents have repeatedly proved that 'human life is valuable'." A war of words ensued.
The "command center" took the lead in firing at Ke Wenzhe, criticizing him for not distributing vaccines to clinics, violating regulations and unreasonable.
On the morning of the 10th, Ke Wenzhe apologized for the incident, saying that "we will face the mistakes we have made and will accept investigations from relevant departments." It is mentioned that if the vaccines in the hospital cannot be finished, they can be allocated to some contracted hospitals under the coordination of relevant departments. Ke Wenzhe said that maybe the command center forgot that he had issued this official document.
On the same day, Chen Shizhong said that this official document was issued in April. At that time, the willingness of the people on the island to be vaccinated was not high, so it was arranged in this way. 5After the outbreak of the epidemic in Taiwan last month, the authorities have changed their measures and proposed to vaccinate frontline medical staff first.
Ke Wenzhe avoided talking about it again, and instead complained that he could not control the speed of vaccination in the hospital, and he was already working hard...
So, why are there more vaccines? Why does the "command center" keep urging the counties and cities in Taipei to get vaccinated quickly?
The main sources of Taiwan’s current round of vaccines are three batches purchased by itself, plus a batch donated by Japan earlier this month. The batch in March has long expired, the first batch expires the day after tomorrow (15th), and the third batch expires on August 31. There needs to be a time interval between the two shots of vaccination, and they need to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
Previously, after Japan purchased a batch of AstraZeneca vaccine because of concerns about blood clots, it was excluded from public vaccination targets, and then provided to Taiwan. It directly affected the willingness of many people on the island to be vaccinated. However, in the face of this statement, the island will severely punish netizens who talk about it.
Talking about the vaccine chaos, Zhao Shaokang, a senior media person, angrily criticized on the social media platform Facebook, "Because of Chen Shizhong's incompetence, Taiwan's vaccines are in serious shortage, and today's 'vaccine chaos' occurs, and more effort (go to In Taiwan, vaccination is not a life-saving human right, but a crime and class division. Because of the wrong decision-making of officials, all the people have to suffer from life and death. The bitter fruit of uneasiness and anxiety, Tsai Ing-wen and Chen Shizhong woke up in the middle of the night, how dare they ask for sympathy?" Facing this situation, netizens on the island also sighed helplessly, "Taiwan is not doing epidemic prevention at all, it is completely engaging in politics"" What's the use of scolding, the authorities don't care."
