July 30, 2009
In a recent study, 85 children in London, England were given Tamiflu for prevention after a classmate was diagnosed with the H1N1 swine flu. More than half experienced side-effects, including nausea, stomach pain and insomnia. Almost 20% of them had a 'neuropsychiatric side-effect' such as thinking problems, strange behaviour or nightmares. Media coverage of this subject has been irresponsible; the risk of dying of swine flu is less than the risk of dying of the common cold.
