Swine Flu: TAMIFLU, the Danger Drug – dont take under any circumstances
Isn’t it funny how Donald Rumsfeld has huge shares in Tamiflu and this is the governments number one choice for YOUR vaccinations if need be due to a pandemic.Read the following article and be shocked. I would not go near this Tamiflu at all. sounds fishy to me.
What they have in common is that each victim took the influenza antiviral Tamiflu shortly before they died. According to the Japanese Health Ministry, 54 people have died after taking Tamiflu — the drug governments around the world have stockpiled for use against avian flu — since the drug was approved for use in Japan in 2000. Most suspiciously, in multiple cases people, including those cases above, acted erratically after taking Tamiflu. Though the Health Ministry has said there is no clear evidence linking Tamiflu to the deaths, there is growing concern among doctors and parents in Japan over the drug’s possible side effects. That is potential cause for concern in the rest of the world, because in the absence of a vaccine, Tamiflu will be the drug of first and last resort in the event of a pandemic.
The anti-Tamiflu forces in Japan are led by Dr. Rokuro Hama, an epidemiologist and internal medicine specialist who heads the Japan Institute of Pharmacovigilance, a medical industry watchdog. Hama believes that Tamiflu can directly cause temporary neurological disorders in a small percentage of users — especially young people. That can lead to abnormal behavior, such as a seemingly happy, healthy teenager suddenly deciding to leap off a high-rise apartment building. Hama also notes that the Tamiflu doses taken in Japan can be as much as 10 times greater than the normal amount taken in the U.S., which could aggravate the side effects. “There is no possibility whatsoever” that there could be another cause behind the Tamiflu deaths, says Hama. “Ultimately it should be taken off the market.”
But according to the Japanese Health Ministry — and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — the side effects that Hama has seen are more likely caused by influenza itself. In rare juvenile cases influenza can cause brain inflammation — encephalitis — that can lead to neuropsychiatric events. In fact, it was in Japan in the mid-1990s that pediatricians first began reporting such cases, which led to intense nationwide surveillance of pediatric influenza.
Hama notes, however, that it was around that same time that Tamiflu became widely used in the country. (Tamiflu is taken far more often here than in any other country; Japanese doctors prescribed the drug 24.5 million times between 2001 and 2005,compared to just 6.5 million prescriptions in the U.S.) Cases that included neurological side effects seemed to spike at the same time that Tamiflu prescriptions rose in Japan. Nevertheless, it is possible that the side effects accompanied the disease and that more such extreme cases were seen because doctors were looking harder.
That hypothesis was bolstered by a Ministry of Health study last year that investigated 2,800 influenza cases and found that virtually the same percentage of victims showed abnormal behavior whether or not they had taken Tamiflu. Still, the recent spate of suspicious deaths was enough for the ministry late last month to issue a general warning that influenza can cause psychiatric problems. For its part the FDA last autumn reviewed 103 cases of neuropsychiatric events associated with Tamiflu use — 95% of the cases came from Japan — and concluded that it could not conclude whether the events were due to the drug, to influenza or some combination of the two. But the FDA did point out that the sudden suicide attempts seen in Japan were quite unlike most cases of influenza-induced delirium, and registered concern that there could be a spike in neuropsychiatric events in the U.S. if American usage of Tamiflu eventually matched the levels seen in Japan.
The FDA has required Roche, the Swiss company that makes the drug, to put a caution on Tamiflu labels urging patients, doctors and parents to look out for strange behavior in anyone taking Tamiflu. Roche accepted the label change but, said a spokesperson, �these events are extremely rare in relation to the number of patients treated.� The company reiterates that none of the cases were linked to Tamiflu.
If Tamiflu were only needed for normal, seasonal influenza, this debate wouldn’t matter outside Japan. In most Western countries Tamiflu, which can speed up recovery from the flu by a day or so at most, has barely been used. It’s only been in prescription drug-happy Japan, where the government effectively made Tamiflu free, that the drug became popular before bird flu made it a household word. But because Tamiflu has been one of the few drugs to show effectiveness against H5N1 avian flu, it has become the key pharmacological component in international pandemic preparation plans. If a pandemic were to strike tomorrow, tens of millions of people could soon be given Tamiflu. So while it is unlikely that the drug will be withheld due to the nebulous concerns out of Japan, the uncertainty only adds to the long list of worries that scientists, bureaucrats and politicians must prepare for in case of catastrophe.

What ever floor one jumps from is not the issue here, its what happens to you if what the experts/doctors/specialists are saying is correct.
If one has to believe anyone surely its got to be the doctors and not those who think they know, IE governmental departments telling you what they are told to say, hey lets face it the church, not mentioning which said once, and pardon me for being so blunt, if you ever wore a condom you would go to hell, I LOL.
Ridicule is not a quality which befits one, but seeing what happens in the wake of such evidence is, please go do some homework and know that growning enough virus for a vaccine takes many months, I think around nine months at last count, and you will have one of your answers here.
There is a powerful media called Y tube and the internet, free for all to se both sides to this topic, I can see the thread line here, have you got any O’s and fork andles.
Heh.
Davy Stephenson,
remarkable and sincere analysis, I heard that
side effects can be long term, suicidal attempts from floors, lets say 3rd or fourth floor heights,
Tamyflue anti dots are doubtfull, any way
BTW,
Would somebody be kind enough to inform me
how many floors do we have in our
National Assembly building in Islamabad?
thanking you in anticipation
Ater studying the latest findings about swine flu and the treatment Tamiflu, I find a list of possibles that we might want to ask a few main questions upon.
It goes like this,
Did you know that the treatment has a disclaimer added where the companies and thus the governments using and making it cannot be held responsible for any serious side effects that might arrise from taking the treatment, if this was to arrise the governments and the populations using it will be left in the lurch if anything comes to pass, it is right and just that the ministry of health will simlpy let through a drug that cannot be policed and simply pass the buck to cover their own backs.
Secondly, there are those who also say that the drug might have long term health risks which actually helps the virus and other ilnesses wreak havock with your immune sustem, and in later years so your immune system is knocked back leaving you vunerable to other diseases.
This is why I won’t be taking the drug called Tamiflu, I would rather take my chances with the virus, than rather diying many years later because of the complcations from taking it.
This information has come to light because of the fear of an out of control population and all of our governments know fine well the crap is really going to hit the fan when the oil runs out, if this drug does actually make its use detrimental in the long term it will take many numbers out of the total world population, which is said they are already thinking of doing.
The latest information of legalised death has just said that they are now considering it to be allowed this alone will save the country billions keeping hundreds of people alive unecessarily, it will be interesting to see how many people are harmed because of what Tamiflu does to those who take it now, the months and years wil speak for us.
Our government is no different to any other, it runs on numbers, the least there are in any downgrading of a society, the less the impact will be, it will also be intresting to see how many of the people who make Tamiflu actually take it or give it to their families.
