Interesting also to point out the the American Consulate has recently
sent out messages to overseas residents about the influenza prospects.
These official messages indicate that the American Consulates have all
stocked up on Tamiflu, but can not provide the drug to ordinary
Americans not connected to the government. The implication, it seems
to me, is that we had better get our own supply if we want to protect
ourselves. But other sources indicate this idea is just plain wrong.
It would seem that our public servants have had the wool pulled over
their eyes, or at least may have been somewhat misled. But the claims
about Rummy's alleged stock profits from Tamiflu sales seem to be going
mainstream rather rapidly. That is a change, I think.

My wife and I were to our Dr. last week [I am in my 80s,she is 79] and
we discussed this tamiflu vaccine.He said", It is a useless vaccine as
the flu strain that is coming is not the one for which Tamiflu will do
any good." He did not recommend it.He also said all this scare
talk about a flu pandemic coming was mostly media hype.Consequently,
we went away with out flu shots.
