Swine flu drugs not for adults, young children
(Sang Tan/AP)
Swine flu drugs Tamiflu and Relenza are not appropriate for healthy adults according to a report by British researchers in the highly respected medical journal Lancet Infectious Diseases. A separate report by Oxford University researchers found that these swine flu drugs should not be given to children under the age of 12.
The first report states, "Recommending the use of antiviral drugs for the treatment of people presenting with symptoms is unlikely to be the most appropriate course of action." A recent Reuters report on ABC News gives more detail.
"Their study, published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases, supports an advisory from the World Health Organization that says healthy patients who get H1N1 swine flu without suffering complications do not need to be treated with antivirals."
Another article in the U.K.'s popular The Guardian raises further questios about the effectiveness of these drugs for children.
"Children under the age of 12 should not be given Tamiflu or Relenza, the two antiviral drugs that form the cornerstone of the government's fight against swine flu, because their side-effects outweigh any benefits, Oxford University researchers said. A study by Dr Matthew Thompson, a clinical scientist, and Dr Carl Heneghan, a clinical lecturer, found that antivirals were no "magic bullet" and only led to a minor reduction in the length of time that a child with mild sickness was ill. The research, to be published in the British Medical Journal, said that Tamiflu caused vomiting in 5% of children, which could lead to dehydration and complications."
Be aware that pharmaceutical companies want to sell you their product, and often use fear to try to persuade you to do so. They also have tremendous power to influence politicians.

Could it be that President Ford and other government officials saw this as a wonderful opportunity to shunt millions of dollars of taxpayer money into the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies in which they had investments? Remember the $5 million Donald Rumsfeld made on his investments during the avian flu, as reported in one of the U.K.'s top newspapers? Could it be the fear makes for big profits for the power elite in our world?
