And then the scandal of VIP vaccination broke and continue to spread like wildfire. We see the latest number of comments a little earlier today:
as I am punching for this post, the number is rising to 17.3k.
That FB post was posted around midnight. I think Ko has made a political blunder with the timing of that post. for several reasons.It made Ko appear to be like a drowning man desperate for oxygen. He intended his stock tricks, mixing half truth, compassionate jingos, and lies, to work as before. This time he met with a swarm of angry comments. I noticed that lots of these comments came from FB accounts with real name and real person pictures. They probably had never posted on any politician’s FB page.
We are seeing a political typhoon forming for Ko. In it, Ko’s supports will be stripped to bare bone. And if he has any secret connection with the Chinese Communist Party, I hope it will be uncovered.
He’s the worst. I dislike him more than I dislike Korean Fish.
This constant updating of the number of posts seems a little obsessive…
For People who don’t like Han, Han is more entertaining and spontaneous. Ko is not a real person anymore. Recent memes about Ko focus on his contriving facial expressions.
I did it out of intellectual curiosity. The internet provides us an unique opportunity
to record in real time the dynamics when a political trend evolves. I don’t have programming skill for web-scrapping, so I chose to do it in a peasant manner.
He’s annoying but at least he is smart.
Thank god the other guy is not our current president.

Maybe in a surgical way. Emotionally he is worse than a teenager.
On top, Kaohsiung mayor is on top of everything in terms of vaccination organization. The rest is a bunch of KMT asshole mayors, and that Ko,
Taipei residents be alerted!!! You may get vaccination much later than those living in other cities. There is slight chance you may not even get it at all. Here is a serious complaint about the chaoic situation of vaccination registration in Taipei. The complaint is made by a clinical doctor in his FB page just now.

It’s possible we cannot help with Covid vaccination at all.
Too disappointing!"
Those are the words of Dr. Lin Sihong 林思宏.
The sky is falling. The sky is falling.
No, when Tsai administration has a better sign-up software ready. news link
Maybe mayor Ko tries really hard to mis-manage vaccine deployment. He won’t be able to stop Taipei residents from getting vaccine.
The character 粉, pronounced as /f e n/ (schwa e), is used as a pun. It originally means powder and flour-like substance. And then it obtained a new meaning as a fan or fans of some celebrity.
The meme is downloaded from the FB page of its creator 蕭瑩燈 Hsiao Yingdeng.
What’s up with the visceral dislike of Ko? In an illuminating post in A Broad and Ample Road, the awesome duo Michelle Kuo and Albert Wu explain why progressives in Taiwan hate his guts. It’s quite the read.

How far we’ve come!
Yup, that’s part of what Kuo and Wu are talking about in the post linked above.
With the KMT’s presidential candidate Hou, what you see appears to be what you get. You may not like his politics, you may think he’s a mediocre leader, but he does seem authentic and not pretending to be something else.
With Ko leaping into fame during the Sunflower Movement, progressives thought: Hey here’s our guy! Next thing you know he’s calling Chen Chu fat. In 2023, he’s trying to make deals with the KMT and calling for a trade agreement with the PRC. Progressives betrayed!

I think I liked him until 2017-2018 or so. After that he became my least favourite local politician. Even more than Ma.
