This article said: "Tamiflu resistance has not been seen in nearly 200 swine flu samples tested in the United States, Bridges said. But the resistance has been seen in other types of flu. Late last year, CDC officials reported that the most common flu bug circulating at the time was overwhelmingly resistant to Tamiflu. Health officials have believed it was probably a matter of time before a swine flu sample tested resistant, too"************* I actually read on an MD website that in December 2008, the strains of H1N1 flu viruses going around were mostly resistant to the drug that is the brand Tamiflu, so I'm actually surprised to read in this article that the so-called "swine flu", which IS ALSO a H1N1 virus, hasn't shown resistance until now. I was skeptical when Obama had reserves of Tamiflu released a couple of months back, thinking the authorities were just trying to make the public feel "at ease". I'm STILL skeptical now...
