Malc-Thai Posted November 10, 2021 #102898 Share Posted November 10, 2021 "But the product has already been certified by the Thai FDA so it is effective for use.” so 'effective' that they don't need to count the positive results in the official totals? 2 1 1 Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/7913-news-forum-thai-government-defends-sale-of-antigen-test-kits-banned-in-the-eu/#findComment-102898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
