H5N1 News: Bogus Bird Flu Drugs Flooding the Internet
Steve Johnson writes in The Mercury News:
In a trend federal authorities call scary, the Internet suddenly is awash with bogus drugs to counter a possible bird-flu pandemic, including counterfeit Tamiflu -- the highly sought-after antiviral agent developed by Gilead Sciences of Foster City.
Hundreds of fake Tamiflu pills sold to U.S. consumers by Asian online entrepreneurs have been seized in South San Francisco over the past month, most recently on Wednesday. They are the first such counterfeits detected in this country.
