COVID-19: DPP accuses TPP of vaccine ‘plotting’DELAYING PRODUCTION: By asking for four reports on Medigen’s emergency use authorization, the TPP contravened the legislature’s rules, the DPP’s Lo Chih-cheng saidBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterDemocratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers yesterday accused the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) and Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) of attempting to derail production of Medigen Vaccine Biologics Corp’s COVID-19 vaccine, most recently by demanding that the Ministry of Health and Welfare and three other agencies issue reports on its authorization process. Lo showed an official document, bearing the TPP legislative caucus letterhead and dated yesterday, which asked four government ministries and agencies to each table a report on the emergency use authorization process for the Medigen vaccine. The TPP asked to be provided with a list of attendees by 10am tomorrow. “The TPP is plotting to derail domestic vaccine production, just like the KMT is doing,” Lo said. Lo said that the KMT has spread misinformation about the Medigen vaccine to mislead the public.
