London : Mr Burnham agreed to take part in the show to discuss the alleged merits of Tamiflu (how it sticks in my craw even to write those words) he was doubtless looking forward to putting across the Government's point of view in the gentlest of surroundings.

It's a new substance entering the body. It's going to happen sometimes.

However, given the comments on the Jobbing Doctor and NHS Blog Doctor, there is some question as to how many people are actually completing the prescribed Tamiflu doses, given the side effects being reported.
