The paper read like an Op-ed piece and lost credibility for me when it advised governments stockpiling Tamiflu, the effectiveness of which has been called into question.
I have to agree somewhat…… I wasn’t sure if it was because I already knew pretty well everything in the paper, but I found it a bit boring, and as far as the tamiflu goes, stockpiling ANYTHING is hardly a solution, you WILL eventually run out……
