Tamiflu may be nearly useless
According to the LA Times, the British Medical Journal is questioning the efficacy of Tamiflu for treating any kind of flu (H1N1 included). The article closes with this conclusion:
"It probably doesn't hurt to treat patients with severe flu complications with Tamiflu, and it may help. But the drug should not be used in an effort to prevent infection among people who have been exposed to the virus or in those who have only very mild infections."
The Atlantic also ran a story on this topic and pointed out that there is some evidence that Roche, the manufacturer, may have misled governments and scientists about the drug. They also mention that there are potential fatal side effects to taking the medication, though these are likely rare.
Natural News has a similar story on Tamiflu, which references the British Medical Journal's findings and the article in The Atlantic, but is a bit more sensational.
