Family Forum / Parenting / Children's Health / November 200512 Children Died After Taking Tamiflu
CBS) CHICAGO There are new concerns tonight about a drug used to fight the flu. As CBS 2 Medical Editor Mary Ann Childers reports, the Food and Drug Administration says it wants to know more about reports of deaths and abnormal behaviors in children who took the anti-viral Tamiflu in Japan. Since March 2004, 12 victims -- all under age 16 -- died of cardiac arrest, pneumonia, asphyxiation, acute pancreatitis, and in one case, a fatal fall. "We always worry about side effects of drugs," said Dr. Marc Weisbluth, a pediatrician at Northwestern Children’s Practice. http://cbs2chicago.com/health/local_story_321172129.html > CBS) CHICAGO There are new concerns tonight about a drug used to fight the > flu.

If you got the flu vaccine, you would not need Tamiflu (because you wouldn't get the flu)... and therefore you would not fall.

Right? Pharma Moron alert! Flu vaccine is just another hoax http://www.whale.to/vaccines/flu.html like Tamiflu and the whole pharma hoax "Medications are palliatives. They are not designed to cure the degenerative diseases of the body."----F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. "For every drug that benefits a patient, there is a natural substance that can achieve the same effect." - Pfeiffer's Law "My opinion, however, is that they (herbs) are superior 95% of the time to any pharmaceutical drug!"---Willner, M.D. "The pharmaceutical "business with disease" is the largest deception and fraud business in human history. The product "health" promised by drug companies is not delivered to millions of patients. Instead, the "products" most often delivered are the opposite: new diseases and frequently, death."--Dr Rath MD >> So would gettting a flu vaccine prevent falling? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Pharma Moron alert! ,,,, Actually, a look at the newspaper this morning showed that Tamiflu was being given to about 2/3 of the population of Japan. Basically the things that happened to these kids would have happened anyway, with or without any kind of prescription: http://www.boston.com/business/healthcare/articles/2005/11/18/officials_review_d eaths_of_kids_who_took_flu_drug/ It was given to over 11 MILLION children in Japan.

Hmmmm... I thought that is was Chinese poultry farmers giving their flocks antivirals. Something I heard on NPR. Pretty much making sure the avian flu would be resistent. I can't find it, though I did find this: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/gen-info/facts.htm I did not think that the influenza in Japan was avian... though it seems they are really pushing the Tamiflu, just because. > So would gettting a flu vaccine prevent falling? My understanding is that the Japs are worried that it wasn't so much a fall as a jump. |
