No, we don't have a vaccine, bt there is a treatment. We don't stockpile that either. I think it might me manufactured abroad.

Tamiflu, by Roche in Switzerland. The president knows that and stated a few days ago that there barely enough doses to cover the government and military.

I hear him urgently requesting a possible military enforcement but I don't hear him, or anyone else, urgently pressing for more R&D or production of the drug. Odd.

Tamiflu has been considered the drug of choice, but apparently is now considered not effective against the Avian flu.

THe latest word on Tamiflu which worked initally on Bird flue is that it no longer works, there has been resistance developing. Symmetrel worked initially but is not wrking now.

Tamiflu was the last drug to work and now it is looking weak.
