Tamiflu Approved for Flu Prevention in Children Under 12

[maygenta]

The UK has just announced Tamiflu is not to be given to kids as the risks far out weigh the benefits. They state that Tamiflu effects are worse than the actual flu virus.

Swiss drug dealers: Roche Holding AG (Hoffman-LaRoche Ltd), manufacturers of a FLU VACCINE OSELTAMIVIR (aka) TAMIFLU, appear to be willing to do us all a favour by revising warnings on their drugs label; the new label should read: Several patients have died from abnormal behaviors. There have been almost 600 psychiatric problems and, 5 deaths, attributed to the TAMIFLU - FLU SHOT.

Dr. Tom Jefferson says: There isn't enough proof that flu vaccine is effective to support public programs.

Its better not to take these drugs. BTW FLU IS NOT A COLD. You can only get flu if your immune system is dangerously impaired. Thats less than 1% of the population. Yes folks its a scam to sell drugs

The flu virus of 1918 was resurrected, reconstructed and brought back to life by the US Army Forces Institute of Pathology in Rockville, MD. under the direction of Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger in 1997. It was commissioned by the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases which performs biodefense reasearch. Attempts to recover the spanish flu virus date back to the 1950's.

From what I read, the government bought a large purchase of Tamiflu in October 2006. Isn't the shelf life around 36 months?

Vitamin C is the front line defense. Apparently enough vitamin C helps boost the immune system against influenza viruses.

Other natural anti-virals which are in your kitchen are:

Garlic - Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Fungal and Anti-viral (good for secondary infection caused by influenza).

Ginger - More anti-viral properties.

Onions - Rich in anti-viral, anti-bacterial sulphides.

Isn't it funny how Donald Rumsfield has huge shares in Tamiflu, and this is the Govt's No. 1 choice for YOUR vaccinations.

Your naturals will only strengthen natural immune system but this is a new virus so we have limited natural immunity. Plus it appears that stronger immune systems have a higher chance of death from swine flu as stronger immune systems will attack healthy tissue too much in an attempt to prevent a disease taking over. plus tamiflu is not a vaccine but a anti-viral. It doesn't stop someone getting flu but allows them to fight it off. plus it is proven to work so personally i dont care about shares

Several media outlets reported that the Mexican patients were being treated with a "vaccine," despite no vaccine available. Eventually, Tamiflu was reported as being the source of treatment.

It certainly has been a shaky start for the news surrounding this issue. The man who greeted Obama has now died of a heart attack, despite previous reports of flu-like symptoms. And with the recent emails to the BBC from Mexican doctors claiming the death toll is much higher than being reported, who knows..

It wasn't tamiflu being called a vaccine, as it is a H1N1 strain it was initially believed that ordinary flu vaccine would offer some protection although it is now been acknowleged that conventional vaccine offer very limited protection.

A vaccine is not a treatment anyway it only works if you get the vaccine before being exposed to the virus, vaccine stimulate immune systems but have no dangerous effects so that if the real virus infects some their stronger second response will kill the virus.
