"Tamiflu, or oseltamivir phosphate, and vaccine do not defend you"

Private pharmaceutical watchdog "YAKUGAI Ombudsperson gMedwatcher Japan"" that aimed at the extermination of the drug induced suffering and the medical treatment damage held the meeting with the influenza countermeasure as the theme in Tokyo on February 5, and reviewed the problem of the vaccine and the Tamiflu, or oseltamivir phosphate.

In the meeting, doctors pointed out, "The influenza was an infectious disease that recovered naturally", and they showed data that neither the vaccine nor the Tamiflu worked".

The side effect case with the Tamiflu, or oseltamivir phosphate, was reported on that day.

The Rokuro Hama MD, President of Non-Profit Organization Japan "Institute of Pharmacovigilance for Evidence-Based Healthcare, a member of gMedwatcher Japan", reviewed the effectiveness and the safety of the Tamiflu and cleared up the misunderstanding when reporting on the keynote of entitling "Tamiflu and antifebrile that was much scarier than the influenza".

A related article is scheduled to be published in the issue (Japanese version) on the Japan Consumer Press (JC-Press) February 15.
