The GPO had originally announced the plan to import Sars-CoV-2 Antigen and Leccurate Antibody Test products by Lepu Medical Technology before changing course and pausing the purchase after being publicly derided by the Rural Doctors Society for choosing the kits based on the cheapest price instead of the best quality and highest accuracy. Now it seems that the pressure to procure large quantities of the antigen test kits […] The post Cancelling delay, GPO will buy 8.5 million Chinese antigen test kits appeared first on Thaiger News.

Does Posted August 14, 2021 #34437 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Didn’t they learn anything from wasting money on Sinovac? Instead of buying cheaply made and questionable testing kits, they should be acquiring more mRNA vaccine. 2 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/3725-cancelling-delay-gpo-will-buy-85-million-chinese-antigen-test-kits/#findComment-34437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrStretch Posted August 14, 2021 #34465 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The fact that the US has pulled the use of these "kits" because of their false positive possibilities should have been enough for the Thai government to pause, but hell, no..."Let's risk it because we are Cheap Charlies and the populace doesn't deserve better." 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/3725-cancelling-delay-gpo-will-buy-85-million-chinese-antigen-test-kits/#findComment-34465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolie Posted August 14, 2021 #34470 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) The US isnt doing too well these days either. Certainly there's no reason why they should be seen as 'the standard to follow.'

After all America is hardly the only country to discard or return Chinese test kits because for lack of quality.
