Tamiflu Vaccine Linked With Convulsions, Delirium and Bizarre Deaths
by David Gutierrez

(NaturalNews) An FDA advisory panel has recommended stronger warnings on two
influenza drugs after reviewing evidence linking them to neurological and
psychiatric problems that have led to deaths in some cases.

The current warning on Roche Laboratories' Tamiflu (generic name
oseltamivir) urges close monitoring of flu patients, particularly children,
for "increased risk of self injury and confusion shortly after taking
Tamiflu." The panel recommended that this warning be strengthened to say
that "in some cases, these behaviors resulted in serious injuries, including
death, in adult and pediatric patients."

The label of Glaxo SmithKline's Relenza (generic name zanamivir), the panel
said, should be strengthened to mention "reports of hallucinations, delirium
and abnormal behavior." The panel said that both labels should mention that
some flu patients not taking the drugs have also experienced such symptoms.

There have been no reported deaths from Tamiflu in the United States, but in
Japan, where the drug is much more widely used, at least 14 deaths have been
reported. Five children under the age of 17 died after "falling from windows
or balconies or running into traffic," according to the FDA. According to
Roche, two people under the age of 21 died from a brain infection, and seven
deaths from neuropsychiatric symptoms have also been attributed to use of
the drug by adults.

Since Tamiflu's introduction in 1999, a total of 48 million prescriptions
have been written, 75 percent of them in Japan. According to Roche, 1,745 of
1,808 reports of side effects came from Japan.

The FDA has noted that people in Japan appear to be more likely to report
side effects than people in the United States.

In March, Japan issued a warning against prescribing Tamiflu to people
between the ages of 10 and 19, and South Korea followed suit a month later
with a warning against use by teenagers.

Since Tamiflu isn't a vaccine, we can dismiss the rest of this article
as BS.

Since Matrin isn't too sharp, we can dismiss all of his posts.

As Tamiflu is not a vaccine, there is no need to read this garbage any
further.

It's a tad frightening that someone who is unable to discern the
difference between a vaccine and a drug attempts to write with such
authority.  It certainly makes one wonder about the credentials of the
author of the article doesn't it!

Totally predictable.

Paraphrasing an old legal maxim, "If you have the facts
pound on the facts, if you have the science pound on the
science, and if you have neither the facts nor the science
pound on the table."

Or as expressed by Louis I. Quitt: "You can speak the most about that which you
know the least because you're not hindered by the facts."
