who in Congress brought stock in Tamiflu last week?..then sold yesterday
*grins*
Hmmmm.
A virus that combines human, swine, and avian genes, and just happens to be immune to the #1 antiviral.
What are the odds?
Isn’t that the drug that our new health idiot(ess) selected by the Obamaloon stated would work?
Nah, couldn’t be. We all know that the cabinet of Loon-O-Tics are intellects.............
Is this the same strain that we are facing now? If so, uh oh. Tamiflu is what they are sending all over the country.
But... but... the Magesterium knows best. Take it anyway.
Imagine, stockpiling an influenza vaccine, when you know the next influenza outbreak won’t be treatable with it.
I see on the news that a member of obamas delegation to me he co has flu like symptoms...
And here I thought we were past the normal flu season.
This pertains to SEASONAL flu, not the human-swine-avian h1n1 that is running around now.
Read World War Z by Max Brooks.
Tamiflu=Phalanx.
60,000 die of flu/pneumonia in the US every year. why is this different? just because of the affected age-groups?
What about this story yesterday....
Tamiflu called best remedy for swine flu
DALLAS, April 29 (UPI) — The drug Tamiflu, made and marketed by Roche Holding AG of Switzerland, is the best treatment for the new strain of swine flu, a U.S. medical expert says.
Dr. James Luby, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, said Tuesday that for certain patients who have come down the with disease, and for medical professionals who need to prevent contracting the virus, Tamiflu remains the gold standard, The Dallas Morning News reported.
“We don’t want the ordinary you or me to go out and start taking Tamiflu,” Luby said. “But if you got sick with a 101-degree temperature, and it’s within 48 hours of the onset of illness, you’d be a good candidate to receive it once you’ve had a spot-check for flu.”
Luby said another good candidate for Tamiflu would be a relative of an infected person living in the same house who is afflicted with diabetes. The Morning News said Tamiflu has also proven effective in preventing the swine flu among healthcare workers who take a full, five-day treatment course of the drug.
Oh great .. more good news.
I will not be taking Tamiflu or giving it to my family. It’s dangerous.
