The one thing that actually I did get out of that article that I found interesting is I know that there's some data out there that suggests that the Tamiflu is useful against bird flu, which again is why we advocate for it with the wellness company. Oh, I found the article. I found it. The problem is I don't know

Oh, no, this is another article. I have a tendency to do this. I copy these articles and try this one. Oh, here it is. Let me see if this is it. One second. Hold on a second. The article is entitled, this is it. Hang on. Oh, it is the December 31st one. I take it back. Why was it being published now? Hold on, guys.

Well, that's the one I was looking at. And in that article, so, okay, so we're talking about the same thing. In that article, one thing that did interest me was the fact that Tam Flu, as a therapeutic agent, was discussed.

In this article, it's pediatricians we're talking about. It says, in this one, physicians can charge with a vaccine appointment an administrative fee for each vaccine, which is usually like $10, an office visit fee, which they would normally get that, and cost for non-vaccine services during a vaccination appointment.
