Lanying beats Shen Boyang in old articles on drug prevention and control, Hu Caiping criticizes Jiang Wanan for being anti-intellectual

The KMT targeted DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's old drug prevention article out of context, and held a press conference yesterday to accuse "the government of distributing needles is condoning crime." Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan even posted a post on Facebook criticizing Shen Boyang, questioning "Are Taipei City's communities allowed to provide drugs and needles for drug users to use?" In this regard, financial internet celebrity Hu Caiping hit back hard today (4th), pointing out that clean needles and methadone replacement therapy are current public health policies. Jiang Wanan’s approach of attacking public health common sense for the election is "extremely anti-intellectual and extremely shameful" and has seriously trampled on the bottom line of conscience of voters and the general public.

Hu Caiping posted on Facebook that Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters inauguration meeting held on Beiping East Road in the afternoon was a complete blast, and "Wild Tsai Kangyong" was even surprised to appear at the scene to support him. Talking about the drug harm reduction issue that the Kuomintang and Jiang Wanan have been fiercely fighting recently, she bluntly said that the blue camp used alternative treatment for drug addiction to attack, which touched the bottom line of the conscience of many voters in the middle.

Hu Caiping pointed out that providing drug addicts with clean needles and methadone is not only the current public health policy in Taipei City and Taiwan, but also greatly reduces the risk of drug addicts contracting AIDS from using contaminated needles, thereby curbing the risk of AIDS infection to the whole society. She criticized Mayor Jiang for saying that he supported drug addiction and the drug-addicted government, which was extremely anti-intellectual and extremely shameful. He should be even more ashamed of it.

Hu Caiping emphasized that Taiwan is the most well-known country in the world for successfully fighting the epidemic. Taiwanese people's knowledge of diseases and medical treatment and their willingness to cooperate with public health policies are far beyond imagination. Taiwanese people should stand up and condemn such shameless election methods. This has really trampled on the bottom line of ordinary people's conscience. "Come on Taipei, come on Taiwan!"
