"Antiviral drug treatment of swine flu may be wasted on the elderly and should be reserved for young people, suggest researchers who created a model of the effect of antiviral treatment on the spread of the H1N1 virus."

ObamaCare has already been started apparently
git em while they are young and pliant
I don’t want it. They’ll put it in little kids so their immune systems can suffer, just like with other shots. Who really knows what’s in them? If they can make more retarded children or sick children, there will be less of them to rise up against them later on. Yes, I DO believe that.
So, all you survivors of the greatest generation, Korean Police Action, and the Vietnam era...look at this America that you spent your lives defending, working for, and trusting in
When I came back in 76 after 8 years overseas, the 'swine' flu was also a big thing....like a dumbass I went down and got a shot...if screwed me up for years, never felt right....
I don't trust the government, CDC or local health officials anymore and I damn sure ain't gonna gamble with my grandchildren....
How bout we just save it for people who actually want the vaccination? The young can have mine.
1) Throw under bus
2) Place on Obamacare Iceberg, shove iceberg out to sea.
3) Congratulate Obama on his wisdom and empathy.

You are so right. This is an outrage.
eugenics.
The pandemic of 1918 killed the young and healthy in greater numbers than older persons. The reason was that the immune response of the young was stronger and flooded the lungs with fluid. This might be part of the reason, but I’m not suggesting we take it at face value.
All those elderly people who voted for “change” aren’t going to like this.
They’re not talking about a vaccine. It’s about anti-virals, like Tamiflu. The thought is the same, though.
You mean killing them in the womb just isn't enough? /sarc
Actually, I agree with you on this. I NEVER get the shots - after my first one decades ago, following which I got sick for 2 weeks.
And for decades, before retirement, I watched the younger folk, sheep-like, get the 'free' shots at work, chastise me for not getting them and then wondering why THEY got sick and I didn't.
I use natural preventive measures and haven't had any flu for decades...
What is disturbing, VERY, is the mindset of 'rationing' medicine...
I agree - see my post #15
Make sure your vitamin D levels are high enough to boost your immune system. This is one theory as to why the flu strikes in fall/winter not summer. I take 2000 i.u.s a day to maintain normal blood levels.
Also, Tamiflu’s key ingredient is the Chinese herb, Star Anise. It is skyrocketing in price due to heavy demand. It may be prudent to have some on hand just in case.
Don’t jump to conclusions. Flus like this cause a cytokine storm which is more deadly in younger people, those with healthy immune systems, which as the article link below states can be a liability, not an asset.

I am always being hassled by my doctors and dialysis nurses to get shots but I won’t do it. Neither does my husband and we haven’t ever gotten the flu. I wash my hands a lot during flu season and try not to kiss all my friends at church, LOL. This rationing medicine is very scary to me, too. I’m 70 and considered too old by some.
