以下為林昶佐【請譚德塞承擔防疫失敗責任　停止攻擊台灣】臉書中英文文章全文：

世界衛生組織(WHO)秘書長譚德塞在幾個小時前，召開一場國際記者會，不正面回應過去幾個月WHO對武漢肺炎疫情一再判斷失準的問題，反而攻擊台灣，說「3個月來台灣不斷對他人身攻擊，說他是Negro、甚至還有死亡威脅，台灣外交部3個月來還跟著這些毀謗一起攻擊他」等，甚至瞎扯這是台灣人對黑人族群的侮辱。

譚德塞推諉卸責，還攻擊被你們打壓的國家，無恥至極。

因為中國的壓迫，台灣被許多國際組織拒於門外，包括WHO，導致我們無法在第一時間獲得這些國際組織的資訊，更無法透過這些國際組織貢獻己力。但我們這次還是靠自己穩定地控制了疫情，雖然我們就在疫情爆發的發源地中國隔壁；同時，我們目前也一樣不透過國際組織，而是自己單獨對其他國家提供防疫與物資的協助。

世界上有許多國家都跟台灣維持友好且密切的合作，但由於中國的壓力，真正跟台灣維持正式邦交的多是位於太平洋島國、加勒比海國家、非洲等，這些友邦有不同族裔背景、許多都處於發展困境，台灣長年協助他們包括農耕畜牧、公衛設施、基礎建設等，讓台灣獲得當地人民的尊敬與友誼，這是國際社會都知道的事情，不容譚德塞鬼扯種族歧視！

WHO從去年底就配合中國政府隱匿武漢肺炎疫情，並一再欺瞞，讓許多國家誤判其嚴重性而造成大流行，甚至害許多亞洲人在各國遭到無端歧視，WHO跟中國政府才是造成種族對立的元凶。

譚德塞，請你不要為了迴避WHO應承擔的防疫失敗責任，就攻擊一個不是你們組織會員國的國家，台灣連在組織內為自己發聲的機會都沒有，這對台灣不公平，對國際社會也不公平，更讓WHO的公信力繼續探底，讓你跟中國政府更被看不起。最重要的是，這對防疫也沒有任何幫助！

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Must Stop Attacking Taiwan and Shoulder Responsibility of Pandemic Response Failures

The WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom just few hours ago called a press conference in which he dodged questions on his repeatedly failed judgements on the COVID-19 (Wuhan Virus) Pandemic Response, yet launched attacks on Taiwan, saying “I can tell you personal attacks that have been going on for more than two, three months. Abuses, or racist comments, giving me names, black or Negro; And Taiwan, the Foreign Ministry also, they know the campaign. They didn’t disassociate themselves.” He even went on to frame it as “Taiwanese insulting the black community.”

In this shameful act of unprecedented proportions, Dr. Tedros Adhanom attacked a country who gave the earliest warning of a pandemic to the WHO, while shunning responsibility of failure to lead a swift response.

Taiwan has been shut out of many international organizations, including the WHO, due to pressure from China. Therefore we were unable to receive timely information from the international community and can’t contribute our share of knowhow. Nevertheless, we persisted through the pandemic, despite being close to the source of the virus, China. Meanwhile, with no support from international organizations, we acted alone in providing medical aids and supplies to the much needed countries.

Globally many countries maintain friendly and close relationships with Taiwan. Yet under enormous Chinese pressure, Taiwan’s formal diplomatic allies are mostly with Pacific Islands, Caribbean and African countries with a wide range of different ethnic backgrounds. Over the years Taiwan has been assisting with their developing difficulties in agriculture, public health and basic infrastructure. Taiwan has earned the respect and friendship of many local communities in our allied countries. This is well-known in the international societies, and leaves no room for Dr. Tedros Adhanom’s imaginary slander.

Since late last year, the WHO has been working with the Chinese government in downplaying the emerging crisis. Its series of false statements led many countries to misjudge the magnitude of the threats and caused a global pandemic, subjecting many asians to live in fear of discrimination around the world. The WHO and Chinese government are the real culprits of the racial conflicts.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom, stop using the attacks on Taiwan to divert attention away from what is the WHO’s responsibility of failed responses. Within the WHO, Taiwan, not being a member country, has no opportunity to speak up for itself, a situation not only unfair to Taiwan but also to the international community, and would only serve to plunge the WHO’s credibility. Dr. Tedros Adhanom, do something to combat the virus, not Taiwan!
