I don’t think we want to be handing out Tamiflu like candy. Take it if you have the flu (however, many doctors are prescribing it prophylactically), but evidently flu can become resistent to it, just like bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics.

“I don’t think we want to be handing out Tamiflu like candy. Take it if you have the flu...”

So we just let children die? What I am telling you is that doctors are not even prescribing it to people who HAVE THE FLU unless they are sick enough to go to the hospital. That is what my doctor told me Wednesday. The CDC is rationing the stuff and advising doctors not to prescribe it. There is no reason for that when we have stockpiles of the stuff.
