Hey, random HN poster. I too went to the kindergarten and know what statistical significance is. Surprise. So thanks a bunch, but no need for lecturing on the basics of scientific method. I am also a part of a rational part of the society, which you appear to be trying to exclude me from if I'm reading your comment correctly. > I’d bet that ... You can bet whatever you want. I had numerous flu's in my lifespan of almost 50 years. All but one were the same, and the exception ended in less than a week. It was lab-tested to confirm that it was in fact a flu virus. It was the only one when I was taking an antiviral med.

Hey, random HN anecdote teller. (Aren’t we all a bit random around here?) You may have learned about statistical significance in kindergarten (props for the kindergarten for great education, I didn’t get there till high school) Still you’re displaying coincidence in a single case as correlation. Neither did I question whether you had flu or not, you’re attacking a straw man there. I question that tamiflu was a strong factor in your speedy recovery.
