Becky, Why would you say tamiflu is ineffective against BF and that "Tamiflu is for a totally unrelated flu"? I cannot think of the reason for believing that to be the case. On what basis are you making those claims, and can you provide evidence/a link to the research? I also don't understand the connection in these statements: "I believe Tamiflu IS ineffective against BF. That's Y there's no vaccine at this time." ?? I did a search to find the mechanism of action of tamiflu, and got to this link, for anyone interested: rocheusa.com
