Just answer this, would you rather contract Ebola or the Flu?

BTW nobody puts on a full HAZMAT style suit to take care of patients with the flu...figure it out

LOL

To say there is no cure is absurd. If that were true there would be a LOT more than 15 dead

There is no cure for the flu.
Tamiflu does not cure the flu.

Yikes. I would NOT take Tamiflu. It's a terrible, terrible drug. The BBC did a story on how ineffective it is against the flu. Not only does it not work most of the time, the side affects are awful. Kids have had mental breakdowns after taking this drug. Hallucinations, etc.

Tamiflu is no different then the so called "cure" for Ebola. Both only work when given at the beginning stages of the infection.

So if tamiflu is not a cure then there is also no cure for the Ebola and a LOT more people should be dying

Nearly EVERYTHING we can take as medicine has side effects and severe ones on certain people.

The BBC did not do a study. Someone else did and the BBC reported on it.

Its UK medical director, Dr Daniel Thurley, told the BBC News website: "The definitive piece of research stands as the randomised control trials, which were shared with the regulators, which led to them in 100 countries around the world approving Tamiflu for treatment and prevention of flu."
He said the Cochrane group had used the wrong statistics, which "systematically underestimate the benefits" of the drug, and used "unorthodox" methods to analyse the side-effects.

He concluded: "One of the challenges we have here is actually knowing what they've done."


Prof Wendy Barclay, who researches the influenza virus at Imperial College London, said reducing symptoms in children by 29 hours would be "pretty beneficial".
She told the BBC: "Tamiflu works as well as any drug we have now or [that] is on the cards.
"Yes, I think they should replenish the stockpile. What else can you do if a pandemic strikes? We won't have a vaccine for the first six months."

She also questioned the validity of the research as it analysed the impact during seasonal flu: "If it works a little bit in season flu, the chances are they'll work quite a lot better in a pandemic situation and get more people back to school and work."

Right, I said the BBC did a "story."

And there's more than one study on the effects of the drug.

I wouldn't take a flu shot, either. Side effects of that are worse than me getting the flu itself. And the last time I looked at the packing insert, it stayed the vaccine hadn't been tested against the flu.

Duh. Sorry

BTW I take the flu shot every year. No side effects and no flu.

BTW as far as the packaging insert. The way the flu vaccine is made is predictive and prescriptive. They predict the next strain to come about and make a vaccine.

Thats why it's not tested. By the time it's tested, everyone would have already gotten it lol

Me too.

I'm not doing the flu shot this year. I'll take my chances. I probably won't get one next year either. And by the way, to make sure we are all on the same page, there really isn't a cure for the flu.
