hot off the radio

9.30am 9/6/09 3AW with Neil Mitchell

Swine Flu interview with Dr. Rosemary Lester, acting chief health minister

Highlights from the interview with Dr. Lester
- Victoria has stopped counting cases,
- there is currenyly likely to be at least twice as many cases as the 1000 recorded
- everyone who is showing signs of flu – fever, fatigue, runny nose, sore throat will NOT be tested for Swine Flu and will be give TAMIFLU for both them and anyone they are reside with.

And then good old John calls and says that he is very concerned that everyone will be prescribed TAMIFLU even if they have the CthrOMMON Flu, and that it would build resistance to tamiflu and, I quote from John “WHAT OTHER DRUG ARE YOU GOING TO RUN TO…. NONE."

And Neil Mitchell then professed that he could not answer this question. How could Neil Mitchell not know about RELENZA, a Melbourne developed drug. Come on, Neil lift your game, and come on Biota management, why aren’t you talking to Neil and other influential people who talk to the masses
