As the metabolic flow of a city is commandeered by a virus, urban sensing is amplified. The proximity of animals, people, and capital in markets is one of the foundational functions of city life. Random evolutions of ingenuity, community, and viruses thus become a natural by-product of urban proximity. Since the invention of every technology (and a city is certainly a technological mechanism) is also an invention of a new accident, we must think of viruses as a feature of cities, not an anomaly." 2021/09/22,Taiwan Insight,"To Ensure Vaccine Equity, Taiwan Should Adjust its Vaccination Program",Kai-Ping Huang,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/09/22/to-ensure-vaccine-equity-taiwan-should-adjust-its-vaccination-program/,"Written by Kai-Ping Huang. To fight against Covid-19, there is only one solution for every country striving for a return to normality: vaccination. Herd immunity is the goal as advanced countries aim to vaccinate at least 75 per cent of their citizens. The discovery of different variants worldwide makes booster shots increasingly necessary to prevent severe symptoms even for the fully vaccinated. Although speed is vital, it is also essential to determine the proper order of vaccinations." 2021/09/21,Taiwan Insight,Taiwan’s COVID-19 Vaccination Against Biological and Political Viruses,Chunhuei Chi,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/09/21/taiwans-covid-19-vaccination-against-biological-and-political-viruses/,"Written by Chunhuei Chi. For Taiwan to move toward the post-pandemic era, it must be understood that its main challenge is political rather than biological. Besides fighting disinformation and external and internal attempts to divide Taiwan and undermine its control effectiveness, it needs to consider the vaccines’ critical role in ending this pandemic. Further, the criticism of its government’s vaccine under-preparedness has shifted Taiwanese to inward-looking and toward vaccine nationalism." 2021/09/20,Taiwan Insight,Political Contention About Vaccines in Taiwan,Brian Hioe,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/09/20/political-contention-about-vaccines-in-taiwan/,"Written by Brian Hioe. Vaccines have proved a contentious issue in Taiwan from the beginning. As the first vaccines that arrived in Taiwan were AstraZeneca vaccines, the Taiwanese public was initially unwilling to get vaccinated. The public was discouraged from being vaccinated by reports of blood clots and other adverse reactions after using AstraZeneca. As Taiwan had gone for more than a year mostly COVID-free, it is probable that members of the public did not see the need to get vaccinated." 2021/09/17,Taiwan Insight,The “Lost Outlying Island” of the Tachen Diaspora,Kai-yang Huang,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/09/17/the-lost-outlying-island-of-the-tachen-diaspora/,"Written by Kai-yang Huang. As Taiwan’s identity debates are slowly eking towards a consensus, it is essential to also pay attention to the diverse marginal voices of the people of Taiwan. Thus, because discourse about Taiwan as a “maritime nation” is increasingly common, more attention has been paid to marine conservation—for example, the IOC established the Maritime Protection Agency and has preserved traditional fishing techniques (for example, the Marine Science Museum exhibits traditional Han fisheries). For the Tachen diaspora, the ocean has long been an important part of their customs and a poignant reminder of their forced migration from their homeland due to the Chinese civil war and their subsequent migration to the United States. Supposing that Taiwan perceives itself as a “maritime nation.” In that case, these narratives deserve a place in Taiwan’s modern historical understanding.
