"The report prompted the US embassy in Thailand and the Thai embassy in the US to state that the US had not sought any document from Thailand on the issue. (TNA)

I must have missed that important piece from the jigsaw of misinformation......

Did someone find the the paperwork surely it wasn't use to wipe their butts?????

It sounds like the health minister must have had a misunderstanding with someone on his end, when he denied it was his department's fault, and started to blame Senator Duckworth.

They are puzzled as to where to find the money for the brown envelopes for something that is given to them free.

we already sent a donation. I and other expats, front line medical workers have been received. This is an additional donation. Your issue with the US donations?

[robblok]

So no explanation about the missing paperwork. I guess the US was right and Thailand did not respond. Seems Don does not want to talk about that. He said before he would clear this up. Obviously he realized its better not to talk about it as the Thais were the ones that were in the wrong.

 

Otherwise we would have read it here.

Ah the missing paperwork !

[zzaa09]

Between the two, don't know which one is the biggest charlatan. 

[robblok]

I still find it amazing that the journalist don't ask why he has not cleared the "misunderstanding" up. Everyone in goverment was saying the US was at fault and that Don would check what was the problem and discuss it.

 

Obviously that was just a distraction to hope that it would fade away.

This story appears to have disappeared almost entirely? Where are the 1 million Pfizer shots? Did they ever get here?

I think that its true that the Thais were incompetent but now they are hiding that fact otherwise Anutin looks bad. The US is not pushing the issue and the Thai media is not trying to find it out. Probably warned not too.

 

If the Thai government was right im sure it would have been plastered over the news.

Given her record, seeing combat as a helicopter pilot, being shot down and seriously wounded before recovering, having a child and going on to serve ( elected) as a congresswoman and then a senator, to impune that she has acted corruptly in this business (HeijoshinCool) or to suggest that she is a charlatan comparable with a minister in this government (zzaa09) are both pretty rich!

 

Of course, were either of you to have suffered such wounds whilst serving in your countries armed forces, been decorated for gallantry as she has, and then come back to achieve elected office, ( and made possible a vaccine donation to her country of birth as she has); then your rather scurrilous comments might have some worth.

 

I have little time for politicians in general, but in this case I rather admire and respect Lieutenant Colonel Duckworth. Your comments are frankly disgraceful.

I checked the three Twitter accounts run by the US Embassy in Thailand. Nothing there, either. And they usually highlight and brag about anything from donated facemasks to cash giveaways. This all seems very odd. Like both sides are trying to hush it up.

Elsewhere I see the Germans made a donation that was accepted today. But still no news about the 1 million Pfizer shots from the US???
