2019年新型冠狀病毒肺炎肆虐全球，起初臺灣疫情相對和緩，造就防疫指揮官陳時中聲望高漲。不過，隨著2021年春開始三級警戒與疫苗不足，2022年春又從堅持清零急轉為共存，諸多政策爭議已使陳時中的聲望大為降低。然而，就在這個背景下，陳時中仍然投入了2022年的台北市長選舉，並引發後續一連串的爭議，成為在選民中愛恨兩極的候選人。對此，本文主張，從防疫政策與疫情發展的時間序列可以發現，所謂最初防疫的成功跟本與所採取的措施無關，對陳時中的好惡，與政治意識形態高度相關。對此，本文將透過網路問卷調查加以驗證。 In 2019, the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) ravaged the world. Initially, Taiwan's epidemic situation was relatively mild, which elevated the reputation of the epidemic command center's head, Chen Shih-chung. However, with the implementation of Level 3 alerts and insufficient vaccines starting in spring 2021, followed by a shift from pursuing zero cases to coexistence in spring 2022, the controversies surrounding various policies have greatly diminished Chen Shih-chung's reputation. Nevertheless, against this backdrop, Chen Shih-chung still participated in the 2022 Taipei mayoral election, sparking a series of subsequent controversies and becoming a polarizing candidate among voters. In this article, it is argued that from the time sequence of epidemic prevention policies and the development of the pandemic, it can be observed that the initial success of epidemic prevention was not directly related to the measures taken. Rather, people's favor or disfavor towards Chen Shih-chung is highly correlated with their political ideologies. The article aims to validate this through an online questionnaire survey.
