Early on in the enterovirus crisis, then BCDC director Wang Li-hsin strenuously denied that there was a serious epidemic. He argued that his agency should wait until testing and surveys into the cause of illness had been completed before the agency went public, in order to avoid unnecessary panic and worry.
以此次腸病毒為例，當時防疫處長王立信極力否認疫情，認為應該要等實驗檢驗出病因後，再對外發佈，以減少民眾的恐慌和疑慮。
