Ten Canadians die after taking bird flu vaccine

World Poultry | December 1, 2006

Following reports that patients taking Tamiflu can exhibit dangerous behaviour, news has surfaced that ten Canadians have died and at least 74 had adverse reactions after taking the flu drug.

Health Canada has been criticised for not issuing a public update about the drug sooner.

Reportedly, the public update eventually came more than two weeks after international warnings were posted of adverse reactions to the medication among children and youth.

The product?s prescribing guidelines now indicate that taking the drug can lead to strange behaviours, including hallucinations, delirium and self-injury.
Among those taking the drug who have exhibited dangerous behaviour, there have been 25 reported deaths around the world in the most recent one-year period.

Health Canada said it has "not received any such reports" of abnormal behaviour among young people in Canada.

But it has asked Tamiflu?s producer, Roche , to include updated information about possible adverse reactions on its Canadian labels.

The US Food and Drug Administration and Roche issued a warning about the drug on November 13.

Auditor-General Sheila Fraser's report released Tuesday included criticism that Health Canada doesn't issue timely and accurate health warnings to the public on a variety of issues.

Health Canada representatives said mismanagement and insufficient funds in a variety of areas, including drug programmes, could jeopardise public health and safety.

bump for discussions on recent world events :thumbsup

Holy shit balls. What about other countries, have other people died? Or does this deadly death from vaccination only affect Canadians. And what if you're part Canadian but not full Canadian?

Canada Health is always doing that.. suppressing reports just so they can keep offering the cheapest drug possible.

Arg.

How would the labelling help, though? The consumers never see the container, only the person who gives the shot.

hmmmmm....

Man that sucks. I wont be getting that one anytime soon.

You take vaccination - you die, you don't - you die.
Life is sucks.

This is the first that I heard this happened.

Tamiflu is the cheapest drug possible? :1orglaugh
It's the only one in that market, and it's a big name brand.
