Tami-foolery: Misled panic for placebo as H1N1 Tamiflu drug ‘useless’


Governments around the world may have wasted billions of dollars stockpiling a flu drug that doesn’t work. A study published in the British Medical Journal found NO evidence that the drug- Tamilflu-lowers the risk of flu complications. Doctor Fiona Godlee, editor in chief of the BMJ , says this case shows that the entire system of evaluating drugs needs radical reform. And also, rt’s Aleksey Yaroshevsky reports from Ukraine’s capital Kiev where Tamiflu has already been at the centre of a scandal.

    FUCK rUSSIA !
    WE rUSSIANS ARE MONGOLS !

  5. im taking tami-flu & z-pak atm
    none of them are working on me
    i still feel like utter shit -_-

  6. a second wave of the virus?

    what….do they have a countdown of when they are gonna release more virus into the air?

  7. Tamiflu is useless, the Swine Vaccine is useless=the corrupt US govt is spending billions on useless drugs making corporations richer with taxpayers dollars. Sucks to live in a democracy.

  8. marxists= moral monsters that believe in a primitive ideology that has and continues to do tremendous harm to society.

  9. Rumsfeld should hang just as all of the administrations from the past thirty years should.All you morons blaming “capitalism” for all that ails us, should do a little research.We in the Republic..not Democracy…are supposed to have “FREE MARKET CAPITALISM”.That means when you fail you fail.If people don’t believe in your product, they don’t buy it, you fail. With the FedGov involved in bailouts and subsidies, who in their right mind can call this a free market?Welcome to the USSA, jackasses.

  10. who owns the phamaceutical company making tamiful?
    rumsfeld, nothing good comes out from evil man, only poisons, haha

    Figures, yeah covered it as well, but cheers for this, all about the money, money, money.
    They don’t care so long as they get the money and on to creating the next crisis, or allowing it to happen to further the cause for the one world government, Daniel and rev chapter 13.

  12. Hell, the human race is scary, so I do my best to stay away from it. (grin)

  13. @wiskawind haha very good. I say full blown because some people will identify with communists just because they are looking for a powerful identity to give themselves. Any Marxist who tells you they’re a fan of Stalin or Mao are uneducated and usually just say these things to seem “scary”

  14. “I’m a full blown Marxist”

    I used to be a proud American and a Christian before Bush, now I am neither! Ah, but I dont suffer from sheepleitis anymore. (wink)

  15. @bartingman you are pandemic fearmongering with this comment. there’s no conspiracy theories my friend, they fuck you out in the open where everyone can see

  16. @wiskawind ohohoho, you’ve wrested my guilt from me. I’m a full blown Marxist, working in Canada printing newsletters and organizing student groups in Ottawa

  17. “capitalism rushed in too fast, and now people starve and die completely forgotten in the rural areas”

    As if people don’t starve and die completely forgotten here in the US, where greedy capitalism reins supreme? (grin)

  18. … you, too!

  19. russia-vs-usa . ucoz . com

  20. Too late.. The crooks within the government have already profited from the sales of Tamiflu through their shares! They don’t care if it worked or not as they already have their takings & they fooled you sheeple..

  21. tamiflu does work it only lowers your fever

  22. @RussianDefender100 how are they not? the largest foreign investor of funds and infrastructure into russia just pulled out because, in his own words, “there is far too much corruption and theft going on in the government for this to be a safe place to invest” which sends a sign to all others interested in helping out that it’s just going to go to criminals. it’s a faux democracy, capitalism rushed in too fast, and now people starve and die completely forgotten in the rural areas

  23. just like paracetemol or tylenol

  24. tamiflu only reduces fever, thats why it seems only to help those who are infected.
