吳欣岱抨擊,各界在討論毒品政策時,勿將醫療、法律與公共衛生等不同概念混為一談。

毒品防制成為政治攻防,近期有醫療界人士表示「美沙冬就是二級毒品」,台北市衛生局反駁稱,美沙冬是口服管制藥品。對此,台北市第二選區(內湖、南港)台灣基進參選人吳欣岱也抨擊,各界在討論毒品政策時,勿將醫療、法律與公共衛生等不同概念混為一談。吳欣岱痛批,北市衛生局為了選舉與政治攻防,將這些專業概念混淆在一起,這不僅令人非常遺憾,更是政治攻防中最令人無法接受的底線。

吳欣岱指出,從醫療專業角度釐清,衛生局在官方新聞稿中指稱有醫師說「美沙冬是二級毒品」為不實謠言,甚至特地發布聲明來澄清,但事實上,美沙冬確實是二級管制的毒品,同時也是二級管制的藥品。她指出,連這麼簡單的基本概念都可以寫錯,目的只是為了配合政治攻防,這在這次的政治鬥爭中是最讓人無法接受的一點。

為了讓社會大眾清楚理解其中差異,吳欣岱以「刀子」為比喻,她說,一把刀若用來做菜,便是極佳的廚房工具,但若拿來砍人,則成為需要受法律管制的犯行凶器,物品的本質是相同的,關鍵的差別在於是否有合格的醫療人員去監管使用;美沙冬只要在醫療人員監管與合適的情境下使用,它可以是藥品,反之若沒有醫療人員監管而在外遭到濫用,它自然就是毒品。

吳欣岱指出,台北市衛生局作為具備公信力的政府機關,其核心職責是讓民眾信任其醫療與衛生的專業知識,絕對不是作為市長蔣萬安或其幕僚團隊出來發言的政治代言人。他嚴厲譴責,市府為了護航與攻擊政敵,把政治利益凌駕於醫療專業之上,透過官方公文書發布錯誤資訊,這將導致台北市政府的公共衛生進展大幅倒退。

Open Questions

  • 台北市衛生局後續是否會對美沙冬定義發表修正聲明?

Foreign Minister Lin Jialong went to the United States to open the Phoenix Office, witnessing the establishment of Taiwan's 14th mission in the United States.

Foreign Minister Lin Jialong arrived in Phoenix, Arizona, the United States, and attended the unveiling ceremony of the Taiwan Office in Phoenix, witnessing the official establishment of Taiwan's 14th mission in the United States. He pointed out that as TSMC invests in setting up factories and brings supply chains, partners and Taiwanese talents to Arizona, the connection between Taiwan and the United States will become increasingly closer, and two-way investment, business trips and exchanges will continue to increase. Lin Jialong revealed that after returning to the country at the end of last year, he held a meeting to discuss the establishment of the office. He thanked President Lai Qingde, the US State Department and Arizona Governor Hao Kaiti for their support. It took half a year of preparations to complete the opening. The ceremony included Lan Ying, executive director of the American Institute in Taiwan, Governor Hao Kaiti, Phoenix Mayor Gary, TSMC Arizona factory CEO Zhuang Ruiping and his team, as well as Taiwanese overseas Chinese who attended the ceremony. During this trip, Lin Jialong also led business representatives to understand the investment environment, witnessed the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the National Federation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Arizona Department of Commerce, and visited TSMC's Arizona factory. He emphasized that Phoenix City is the practice of "New Flying Geese Theory and International Joint Fleet", with leading companies leading the supply chain to the world, and government counterparts assisting in expanding business opportunities, global layout and resource connections. Looking to the future, China Airlines and STARLUX Airlines have opened direct flights from Taipei to Phoenix. We look forward to the new office serving Chinese people working, living, studying and traveling in the United States, accompanying more Taiwanese companies to take root in the country, and allowing more American friends to know Taiwan.

Taipei mayoral election postpones legalization of marijuana, fierce battle between blue and green camps

The Taipei mayoral election campaign has been dominated by drug attacks. The Kuomintang questioned DPP candidate Shen Boyang's 2014 article supporting the legalization of marijuana. President Shen Jing responded that researching policies does not mean advocating for promotion, emphasizing that he does not support the legalization of marijuana; President Jiang Wanan responded that the question was wrong and asked to directly explain their positions. Both parties will make it clear in the TV debate.
