This year's mutated flu strain is resistant to Tamiflu

No skin of Rumsfeld's nose I'd think. It's those organisations,

including governments who have stocked up for the promised

onslaught who will be stuck with the vaccines for which they all paid

Mutated Flu Strain Shows Resistance To

Meds

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- This year's flu strain is

resistant to

Tamiflu.

Doctors say Tamiflu is usually the leading treatment, but this year, it's

not working.

Health experts say it did work against the

strain that spread last year, but now 99% of Flu cases they see, are not

responding to it.

" This is unnerving. It's not as though

we overused Tamiflu, but there was a mutation and all of a sudden this

strain became the dominant strain all over the country, " said Dr.

William Schaffner of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

There's no shortage of Flu vaccine, and the

other common treatment for the Flu, called Ralenza, is still available,

but only as an inhaler.
