New reports out of Merry Olde England are showing that half of all children taking the anti-swine flu drug Tamiflu are experiencing side effects such as nausea, insomnia, and nightmares.
The kids were given the drug to prevent them from getting infected after other kids in their kids had been diagnosed with swine flu (H1N1). The people in white coats who conducted the study note that although some of the reported side effects could be due to other illnesses, they were "unlikely to account for all the symptoms experienced".
The full story is here.

Nightmares is a new symptom that I haven't seen on a list for any drug before. Scary stuff.
Great, and just when they are getting bad press on the vacine, this happens. Bring on the pigs...
Looks like they are now recommending against kids getting this vaccine, at least in England. Turns out it only reduces the duration of the flu by a day at most--not worth the risk of the side effects.
