Ooookay. Yet another substance that I will not allow to be injected into my children by government fiat.

I can take a large amount of preventive measure to protect my family from infection, and I'm not worried about a lethal virus transforming into the airborne vector.

Were such a thing to happen in a manner that was not limited by its own lethality (Ebola), the human race would have been long extinct, human intervention by antiviral or not.

However, viruses do not progress/mutate in that exact manner.

It's a pill. It's a treatment, not a mandated vaccine for prevention.

Tamiflu Pediatric Adverse Events: Questions and Answers

12 Japanese children out of 24 million total who were in Japan is equal to 1 dead, not necessarily from the Tamiflu but possibly from influenza itself, out of 2,000,000 courses of treatment.

Annual seasonal influenza mortality is 36,000 dead in a total population of aproximately 300,000,000 folks in this country is equal to 1 dead out of 8,333 potentially exposed.

It appears the odds are with Tamiflu.
