卫报: 拒绝上海复星的BNT疫苗全是政治考量
《卫报》与《泰晤士报》、《每日电讯报》同为英国三个著名的高级报纸。
==================================================================
英文很烂，只翻重点
(1)前美国国防部负责中台双边关系的官员汤普森说:
中国表示持有辉瑞BNT疫苗独家地区代理权的上海复星医药愿提供疫苗给台湾，却被拒绝。
但因为中国疫苗在科学上及透明度都有疑虑，所以台湾若拒绝接受中国自己研发的疫苗
非常明智也不意外。
可是如果复星医药提供的是BNT合格商品，台湾拒绝就完全只是政治考量。
因为辉瑞跟BNT为了巨大利益，必须确保复星的产品是同级品。
所以我不认为这样的疫苗会有疑虑，也没有拒绝的理由。
(2)他又说: 对民进党而言，若接受中国疫苗就像政治上的死亡之吻，
等同投降或承认北京的霸权。
(3)一位在台大的外籍学者也说: 民进党为了选举利益，就是不愿拿中国的疫苗。
重点原文:
(1)China said Fosun – the Shanghai-based manufacturer with exclusive regional
production rights for Pfizer/BioNTech – had offered to supply Taiwan, but
Taiwan had refused.
Thompson said there were scientific and transparency concerns about China's
vaccines, which made it unsurprising and potentially sensible for Taiwan to
reject an offer of Chinese-developed vaccines.
But if the Fosun offer is legitimate, refusing it is "entirely political".
Pfizer and BioNTech have a huge incentive to ensure that the Fosun product is
equivalent, so I would think there is no concern,” he said
“There's no reason not to take it.”
(2)If Taiwan accepted Chinese vaccines it would be the political
“kiss of death for the DPP [Taiwan's ruling party]”, Thompson said.
(3)But Lev Nachman, a visiting scholar at the National Taiwan University, said
it still seemed “in the DPP's electoral interest not to get any China
vaccines”
