世界衛生組織（WHO）秘書長譚賽德8日在記者會上痛罵台灣長達三分鐘，指責台灣及台灣外交部對他人身攻擊、種族歧視。對此，總統蔡英文立刻在臉書發文反擊，更加碼貼文翻成英文PO上臉書、推特，邀請網友翻成各國語言，邀大家一起透過網路向世界說明台灣的立場。
不僅如此，為「台灣討公道」也開始在民間醞釀，一位正在英國念傳染病的台灣大學生，寫一封「致予譚德塞博士」中英公開信，並錄製YouTube影片，以全英文加配中英文字幕方式，描述台灣的抗疫努力與重視人權基本價值的民主社會精神，並直指譚德塞作為公衛專家、WHO秘書長，竟然帶頭以假新聞污衊台灣，企圖混淆WHO在防疫上的疏漏。她在影片中呼籲台灣人和所有世界上關注人權與防疫真相的國際朋友，「分享」，一起「 #Stand with Taiwan」。
蔡英文臉書反擊譚德賽，更加碼用「推特」籲網友翻譯成各國語言
8日世界衛生組織（WHO）日內瓦總部的例行記者會上，WHO秘書長譚德塞公開指責台灣及台灣外交部對他人身攻擊、種族歧視長達3分多鐘，且同一時間，好幾個非洲國家的官方推特貼出文章相挺譚德塞。
對此，我國外交部表示強烈遺憾與抗議，要求譚德塞應立即更正其毫無依據的指控，向台灣道歉！而中央流行疫情指揮中心指揮官陳時中也呼籲「與其有時間罵台灣，不如花時間向台灣學習」。
此外，總統蔡英文也在臉書上反擊，強調對相關指控表達強烈抗議，認為台灣長年被排除在國際組織之外，比誰都知道被歧視和孤立的滋味，並邀請譚德塞訪問台灣，感受一下台灣人民如何努力在遭受歧視和孤立之中，走向世界、貢獻國際社會。
除了在臉書為台灣發聲，蔡英文隨後更加碼將貼文翻成英文PO上臉書、推特，邀請網友翻成各國語言，邀大家一起透過網路向世界說明台灣的立場。

總統蔡英文聲明內容如下：
I strongly protest the accusations today that Taiwan is instigating racist attacks in the international community. Taiwan has always opposed all forms of discrimination. For years, we have been excluded from international organizations, and we know better than anyone else what it feels like to be discriminated against and isolated.
I want to take this opportunity to invite Director-General Tedros to visit Taiwan and experience for himself how committed the Taiwanese people are to engaging with and contributing to the world, even in the face of discrimination and isolation.
Taiwan’s selfless medical workers and volunteers can be found around the world. The Taiwanese people do not differentiate by skin color or language; all of us are brothers and sisters. We have never let our inability to join international organizations lessen our support for the international community.
Taiwan has poured all of its efforts into stopping the spread of COVID-19, and our achievements have received a great deal of attention from around the world. Despite being excluded from the WHO due to political manipulation, we have shouldered our responsibility as a member of the international community and taken the initiative to donate face masks and other supplies to medical workers in countries hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic.
#TaiwanCanHelp, and the spirit of Taiwan is Helping has never been influenced by nationality or race.
Taiwan is dedicated to the values of freedom, democracy, diversity, and tolerance. We do not condone the use of racist remarks to attack those with different opinions. If Director-General Tedros could withstand pressure from China and come to Taiwan to see Taiwan’s efforts to fight COVID-19 for himself, he would be able to see that the Taiwanese people are the true victims of unfair treatment. I believe that the WHO will only truly be complete if Taiwan is included.
對於今天台灣被指控在國際社會上發動種族歧視攻擊的言論，我要表達強烈的抗議。台灣向來反對任何形式的歧視，我們長年被排除在國際組織之外，比誰都知道被歧視和孤立是什麼滋味。
藉著今天這個機會，我想要邀請世界衛生組織譚德塞幹事長（Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus）訪問台灣，感受一下台灣人民如何努力在遭受歧視和孤立之中，堅持走向世界、貢獻國際社會。
在世界各地，包括譚德塞幹事長的家鄉在內，都可以看到台灣的醫療人員和志願工作者無私奉獻的身影，台灣人不會用膚色、語言去區分他人，所有人都是我們的兄弟姐妹。台灣，從來沒有因為無法加入國際組織，就減少對國際的支持。
疫情期間，台灣傾全國之力防疫，成績也受到世界矚目。即使世界衛生組織因為政治的操弄將台灣排除在門外，我們還是扛起國際社會成員的責任，主動援助口罩等防疫物資，給疫情嚴重國家的醫護人員。
#TaiwanCanHelp，而且Taiwan is helping，這一點，從來不會因為國度或種族而有差別。
自由、民主、多元、包容，是台灣人堅信的價值，我們不會接受利用種族歧視的言論，來攻擊不同意見的人。如果譚德塞幹事長能抵擋中國的壓力，踏上台灣的土地，就能了解到我們對防疫的努力，並且理解真正受到不公平待遇的，其實是台灣人民。我相信只有台灣的加入，世界衛生組織的拼圖才會完整。

民間齊為台灣發聲！寫英文公開信給譚德賽討公道
不只我國政府發公開信，連民間也站出來。一位正在英國念傳染病的台灣大學生，寫一封「致予譚德塞博士」中英公開信，並錄製影片，呼籲台灣人「分享」，一起「Stand with Taiwan」。
她在公開信裡舉出自身及台灣為非洲服務的例子，澄清台灣並沒有對非洲種族歧視，並對譚德賽的不實指控感到失望。她表示，因為自己身為在台灣及英國多個醫衛非政府組織服務的學生，她敢肯定「台灣從未對譚及非洲人民，做出任何種族、文化或膚色的負面評論」。此外，台灣甚至正在協助史瓦帝尼建立臨時醫院，也同時在安排許多醫療用品援助。
因此，她呼籲譚德賽，請不要忘記您作為一個公衛專家的信念，以及您接任幹事長時所立下的誓言——「全球人民的健康當為第一位，而非政治。」
最後，她再度澄清臺灣是一個相信進步價值、尊重多元的國家，並要求譚德賽對台灣的污名化指控，提出道歉。
影片一Po出雖然受到部分中國網友的謾罵，但卻有更多來自全世界的網友留言力挺，表態支持台灣。
【An open letter to Dr Tedros 一封致予譚德塞博士的公開信】
This is an open letter to Dr Tedros, the Director General of the WHO, in response to the accusations against Taiwan during the 8th of April WHO press conference.
這是一封致予世界衛生組織幹事長譚德塞博士的公開信，並針對其於4/8世衛記者會上對臺灣的公開指控，提出回應。
Dear Dr Tedros, I am Vivi Lin from Taiwan, a current undergraduate student studying Infectious Diseases in the UK.
親愛的譚德塞博士， 我是Vivi Lin，一位目前正在英國念傳染病的臺灣大學生。Upon hearing your response in the press conference today, I was utterly shocked and saddened that such misleading allegations could come from a supposedly respected health professional and the head of the world’s most influential international health organisation.
今天在聽聞您，作為現今世界上最具影響力的醫衛組織（WHO）的領導人，於世衛記者會上提出針對臺灣的不實指控，我深感錯愕及失望。
As a student who has been working closely with Taiwanese and British Medical and Health-related NGOs, I can affirm that there has never been any disrespectful comments from our government and our diplomats towards you and the African continent due to race, culture or skin colour.
身為一名在臺灣及英國的多個醫衛非政府組織服務的學生，我可以肯定地說，臺灣官方從未針對您及非洲人民，做出任何基於種族、文化或膚色的負面評論。
I am aware that there are various petitions online urging for your resignation from the WHO. However, none of the requests or criticisms were based on discriminations against your race or skin colour, nor people from the African continent.
我知道現在網路上有許多要求您辭去世衛幹事長職務的連署，但這些要求，都並非基於您的種族、膚色，或是針對非洲人民的歧視。
Taiwan has been striving to contribute as much as possible to the international community and to be a part of the global team in combating this pandemic. Although we have been excluded from the WHO, we have never given up. Our government has done an exemplary job in containing the virus, a feat that has been praised by officials and health professionals from all around the world. And now, as we have some spare capacity, we are sending aid to our allies and other countries, including those in America, Europe and in Africa who have been harshly impacted by the outbreak.
臺灣一直以來都非常努力地在為國際社會的醫衛做出貢獻，我們也始終希望能在這場全球傳染病戰役中，與世界站在一起。 即便我們被世衛排除在外，臺灣也從未放棄貢獻一己之力。 臺灣在這次COVID19防疫上的傑出成果，是世界有目共睹的。而現在，當我們有額外的資源時，也不吝於分享給我們在美洲、歐洲及非洲的友邦與其他正在受到疫情影響的國家。
According to our health professionals who used to work closely with various countries in Africa, a temporary hospital has been built by Taiwan in Eswatini at the moment, and some important medical supplies sent by Taiwan are finding their way to Africa as well.
根據我們曾在非洲駐點過的醫衛工作者指出，臺灣正在協助史瓦帝尼建立臨時醫院，也同時在安排許多醫療用品援助。
With all the aforementioned in mind, how can you, in a few sentences, attempt to smear Taiwan’s reputation with such irresponsible and false accusations?
而根據上述所有資訊，（譚德塞博士）您怎能用簡單幾句謬誤的指控，不負責任地污衊世界對臺灣的印象呢？
In the past two days, WHO hosted webinars in regards to how we, as individuals or as health professionals and officials, should confront the current info-demic. Ironically, just right after the webinar, Dr Tedros, as the DG of the WHO, was accusing Taiwan with misinformation.
在過去兩天當中，世衛舉辦了以「疫情假資訊」為題的線上研討會，提供個人、醫衛人士及官員一些面對疫情假資訊的建議。 然而，多麼諷刺的是，就在研討會剛結束的時候，世衛幹事長即帶頭用不實的資訊指控臺灣。
I firmly believe that health is a fundamental human right that should not be denied despite differences of any kind. Health for all, leave no one behind is also the core value that the WHO stands for. Please do not forget your dedication as a public health professional and the vows that you made when you ascended to the honorable position you are sitting at right now – health of people in the world comes first, not politics.
我一直相信，健康，是所有人皆擁有的基本人權。 全民健康，沒有人應被排除在外，也是世衛堅守的核心價值。 （譚德塞博士）請不要忘記您作為一個公衛專家的信念，以及您接任幹事長時所立下的誓言——「全球人民的健康當為第一位，而非政治。」
We are now facing the most challenging health crisis of our time. Taiwan cares about people’s health. We are willing to help, and we are helping now. Taiwan is a country that stands for progressive values, and we, as the Taiwanese people, are also known for our appreciation for diversity. We have never criticised you nor your actions based on your race, culture or skin colour.
全球現在正在面臨這個世代最嚴竣的健康危機，而臺灣不僅在乎所有人的健康，更願意幫忙、正在幫忙。 臺灣是一個相信進步價值的國家，臺灣人民，更是始終尊重多元、擁抱多元。我們從未因為基於您的種族、文化或膚色，而提出質疑。
I, on behalf of my beloved country and people, am now asking for an apology from you under the current circumstance.
現在，我與我熱愛的國家和臺灣人民，要求您針對4/8的不實指控，提出道歉！
Thank you for your time.
感謝。
Vivi Lin 2020.4.8
