Like MickeM I have a notified COPD (I'm alpha 1 -ATD). So two possible reasons for healthy people to take Tamiflu:
1 - Flu viruses mutate in the wild. If only those with a major COPD and thus particularly susceptible to them took Tamiflu then it would serve little purpose due to the mutation. Others would contract and spread it and the virus would mutate leaving those with a COPD who took Tamiflu back at square one. (TBH we'll be back at square one soon anyway as another strain of flu will rear up and start of some new pandemic anyway. All we're doing is dealing with one strain here...) 2 - Just taking the Tamiflu will leave me out of it for several weeks whilst my immune system tries to recover. Just taking Tamiflu will actually reduce my life expectancy because of how it affects my COPD. For those with normal health that isn't the case. You take it, maybe feel a bit off colour for a day or so then you're back to normal. Having said all that I do agree that there is a degree of hype surrounding Swine Flu and the makers of Tamiflu will make quite a lot of money. Also as said elsewhere on this thread there are lots of strains of flu which also result in major issues that haven't received anything like as much attention - perhaps because they haven't been given such a media friendly and emotive pseudonym as 'swine flu'. Will I take Tamiflu? Not yet. I live in a small rural community and as such there is little exposure risk. If the risk increases I may change my mind but it isn't there yet. Am I being selfish and or naive - see reason 2: at the moment there is more risk to my health and long term consequence in taking it then not doing so. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
