No, you miss my point. It does not seem to be nearly as effective as you believe. It should be prescribed within 2 days of symptoms. Plenty of side effects. A higher risk compared to reward than initially thought. It might cut one day from how long you have the flu. It might lower the chance of hospitalizations in severe cases. It took decades for pharma to develop Tamiflu as a help for the flu. Covid has been around for about a year.
Tamiflu is not a substitute for the flu vaccine. I would take it if prescribed.
