Millions of dollars are being flushed on Tamiflu as governments battle
to show constituents their concern for a bird flu pandemic.

Perhaps as an overkill response to the recent hurricane fiasco yet
somehow the marketers at Roche have succeeded in creating a viral (sic)
spread of Lemming-like thinking and separating hard earned cash in the
hope of staving off a human pandemic.

Let's clear our heads and have a look at this.

Have Roche ever claimed to have a cure for the mutation expected from
H5N1 - Nope, check the web site for yourself. Get a grip, how could
this possibly work when the mutated virus in a virulent form for humans
has not developed yet.
