4. UGH
Edited on Thu Dec-22-05 08:55 AM by Kagemusha
For Christ's sake, from the very beginning reputable scientists were saying this is NOT a fail-safe, NOT a panacea, just the only drug that MIGHT work. I don't know where people got this idea that someone can be critically ill and you can provide Tamiflu and it'll wipe the virus out. That's NOT the claim that was made at the start of this hysteria. Or put more bluntly, it's not a claim the manufacturer ever made.

That's why posts like yours just make me hit the roof... and I'm not saying it's your fault but, using any drug contrary to the manufacturer's recommendations ought not be taken as certain proof that it's a guaranteed failure if it IS used according to those recommendations.

And what other drug would be stockpiled instead by the way? Oh that's right.. there aren't any. Put your head between your knees then. That's the more cost effective solution.

Edit: And no way, no how, did the FDA certify this as a CURE.
