| Back around the 2nd of May, 2009 when Twitter had | | | | obtained the data collected from 7 previous studies |

| What I found was astonishing! | | | | of people, Caucasians and Japanese, and that they |

| Tamiflu or Relenza or any alternative methods to the | | | | of 18 with no known infirmities or diseases. So if you |

| mush and you just dismiss them because we've | | | | under 18?" is a negative proof, just because we don't |
