Swine flu fatal? Or Tamiflu fatal?

Dear Sir,

A question needing an answer by Dr Claire McLintoch's study of pregnant
women with swine flu, is whether or not Tamiflu is safe in pregnant women.
In Australia
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-...-wife-and-son/
Claire Perkins was given became ill and was given Tamiflu. Tests later found
she did not have Swine Flu. Two days into the course of Tamiflu, she was
having sudden headaches, double vision and stomach cramps and a blotchy red
rash, and was rushed to hospital. Her still born baby was later delivered
by caesarian and six days afterwards the mother died.

Is "the" flu killing mothers and babies, or "Tami"flu?

Tamiflu has not been tested in pregnant women with swine flu before, because
real life 2009 is that "test". Since women are immunosuppressed in
pregnancy, and because swine flu is a "new" virus, Tamiflu's safety,
concurrent with swine flu infection, would seem a fundamental question
needing an answer.
