I’m shocked at Taiwan’s response to COVID. Shocked doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’ve always been aware of the strong undercurrent of corruption and incompetence that underlies Taiwan’s apparent success, but I didn’t realise it was this bad.
Under any other circumstances, failure to collect proper data for what amounts to a large clinical trial would be considered so unethical that people would be fired, and would probably never work again in a science career. But these shenanigans seems to have become par for the course this year, and not just in Taiwan.
