The founder of Hon Hai, Guo Taiming, recently purchased BNT Pfizer vaccines through the Yongling Foundation and delivered them to the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 40 hours. However, Chen Shizhong, the commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, stated that the lack of the original authorization letter “is not a delivery.” On the 2nd, American University professor Weng Darui criticized his post on Facebook with the topic “Teach Guo Dong a legal lesson”. This time Guo Taiming has committed an “old problem”, boasting that he wants to import from Germany without clarifying the legal norms for the cross-border sale of vaccines. When the 5 million doses of Pfizer vaccine arrived in Taiwan, Weng Darui saw that “Dong Guo was anxious, so he had to help him with a law class in the air.” He pointed out the key reason why the progress was unable to move forward and pointed at Guo Taiming, “It’s too naive!” “
Weng Darui believes that Guo Taiming has done a lot in his career, but he often goes back and forth. The promised investment plan is either cancelled or shrunk. One of the reasons is that “Guo is so happy that he will make a lot of publicity before the legal conditions are clear.” Weng Darui analyzed that the BNT vaccine has not yet been officially approved for use. Instead, it is marketed under “emergency use approval.” For vaccines approved for emergency use, drug dealers have to bear great legal risks because the vaccine has not been officially approved. The factory cannot purchase “product liability insurance.” In order for the vaccine to go on the market smoothly, the United States provides three legal conditions for pharmaceutical companies, including approval of emergency use, providing protection against litigation, and assuming liability for damages.
Weng Darui pointed out that the protection of “lawsuit exemption” is clearly stipulated. Unless the pharmaceutical company has “intentional misconduct”, no matter what error occurs in the vaccine, the consumer who administers the vaccine will not be able to file a lawsuit in the court, and the people will have no way of seeking compensation. Therefore, the federal government has to set aside a reserve fund to compensate victims if the vaccine goes wrong. Restrictions related to “jurisdiction” are only effective in the United States or Germany. In order to avoid international lawsuits, pharmaceutical companies will restrict the location of vaccine delivery and prohibit buyers from transferring to other countries. This is also the case for Japan to donate vaccines to Taiwan and must be modified first. The reason for the purchase contract.
Weng Darui continued that the agency rights for the BNT vaccine in Greater China are in the hands of Shanghai Fosun. When Fosun obtained the agency rights, some people said that Taiwan would not want to buy vaccines and put these three legal conditions between the two sides of the strait. The degree of complexity Improved a lot. Sure enough, when the Ministry of Health and Welfare negotiated with the original German factory, it was blocked due to a dispute over the country’s title. Even if the vaccine is purchased by the Yongling Foundation, the Ministry of Health and Welfare must jointly sign a procurement contract to provide the above three legal conditions. Weng Darui bluntly said: “Guo Dong self-recognized that this procurement case was brought back to life by the Yongling Foundation acting as a white glove to avoid the problem of the buyer’s country appellation. Guo Dong is too naive!”
Weng Darui said: “No matter how Guo Dong hits the side ball, as long as the Ministry of Health and Welfare signed a contract together, we cannot avoid the dispute over the title of the country.” He emphasized that if the Ministry of Health and Welfare still intervenes in the name of “Republic of China or Taiwan”, the original procurement case will be stuck. The country’s title dispute still exists. Even if the Tsai government does not insist on the country’s title, the procurement case still has to face the fact that Taiwan’s sovereignty is independent, and China’s claims of Taiwan’s sovereignty will eventually be exposed. Weng Darui advised Guo Taiming to accept it as soon as he saw it, and not to fall to the point where “Taiwan, Germany, and China” were not human. He also offered himself to be Guo Taiming’s international business consultant.
Regarding Guo Taiming’s application for the Yongling Foundation to purchase vaccines, it has been sent to the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Chen Shizhong explained that no one has obtained the original certificate of the genuine goods and this is not a delivery. The actual delivery is required in accordance with the “Pharmaceutical Affairs Law”, and the Yongling Foundation entrusted Taikang Biotech to propose it, but it still lacks the original factory authorization letter. It has been repeatedly emphasized that the original factory authorization means that the original factory does have it. These goods are indeed willing to sell and promise to be shipped. Gou Taiming’s office responded that the relevant authorization letter should be clarified before responding to the outside world.
