Amantadine and rimantadine have been so overused that a number of flu strains are RESISTANT to it.
Conserving antivirals and developing new vaccines and chasing the rainbows by developing new antivirals are the only ways to continue to protect people.
Annual flu shots are one of the best ways to avoid resistance, and I'm not going to listen to lectures on thiomersal.
Guillain-Barré, yes it is a problem, but at least as many people die of the flu as car incidents in the US.
