Saturday, November 12, 2005 at 17:44 JST TOKYO — Two teenage boys who took the antiviral drug Tamiflu exhibited abnormal behavior that led to their deaths, with one jumping in front of an oncoming truck last year and the other falling from the ninth floor of a building earlier this year, health ministry and other sources said Saturday.
The drug in Japan carries a note listing impaired consciousness, abnormal behaviors, hallucination and other psychological and neurological symptoms as possible serious side effects. The ministry is considering making a fresh warning about them, following its decision to increase the stockpile of the drug amid growing fears about a possible pandemic of a new type of influenza as bird flu deaths rise across Asia.

When the bird flu hits big time, will we all be having hallcinations and jumping to our deaths in order to avoid dying of the bird flu? Interesting trade off.

Tamiflu linked to deaths of 2 teens LentoMan Click here to see all messages by LentoMan Click here to see profile of: LentoMan (Nov 12 2005 - 21:54) First, a little history (from wikipedia): "In 1976, a military recruit in New Jersey died from a flu that experts speculated might be the "swine flu". At Rumsfeld's urging, the Ford administration quickly produced and distributed large number of doses of the vaccine. However, some batches were contaminated and 52 people died while 600 fell ill. The program was stopped and nobody got swine flu."
Guess what, Rumsfeld has also invested alot in the company behind tamiflu, he makes lots of profit from the birdflu scare. History repeating itself?
Incidentally also the same guy that brought you Aspartame, the dangerous sweetener formerly known as NutraSweet (just do a google on aspartame).
Mainstream-media is too busy keeping everyone scared and not reporting about the the possible dangerous effects of the drugs.

Two deaths? Out of how many that were tested? Neither death it seems can be linked to tamiflu without some sort of "leap" of faith. People commit suicide all the time. I'm not for or against tamiflu... I just think a little more evidence would be needed to make the conclusion that tamiflu kills people.
