- littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I believe Tamiflu is an antiviral drug that a person takes just after they get the flu.
Flu shots are vaccinations that prevent the flu.
I get a flu shot every year. I've never heard or read that they may be harmful in any way. - littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I beg to differ. I think it's a good starting point for people to continue to do research if they wish.

" The president's plan includes $1.4 billion for government purchases of anti-viral drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza, both of which have been in short supply as governments and private companies have scrambled to purchase stockpiles."

"SHAMIFLU: THE BUSH WHITE HOUSE AND THE WAR AGAINST BIRD FLU.
President Bush went to Congress early this month to ask for $7B to prepare the nation for a possible outbreak of Asian bird flu (WN 4 Nov 05) . The federal government has since become the world's biggest customer for Tamiflu, produced by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant, Roche. That was good news for Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, who doesn't have bird flu. He doesn't have stock in Roche either, but he does have millions of dollars worth of stock in a company named Gilead Sciences, having been Gilead's Chairman prior to joining the Bush administration. Low-profile Gilead Sciences owns the rights to Tamiflu, which it outsources to Roche. There is little evidence that the antiviral drug would help much in a flu pandemic."

"Rumsfeld's growing stake in Tamiflu
Defense Secretary, ex-chairman of flu treatment rights holder, sees portfolio value growing." - Keach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How come whenever there's Foul Play, Incompetence, or just plain Criminal Behavior, Donald Rumsfeld was part of it?
