His blog is completely focused on public health so it seems reasonable that he frames his response in those terms (i.e. what serves the public purpose and public health). He made several points about the study: that it didn't say anything that wasn't known (i.e. Tamiflu is of limited value); their methodology was murky; and the way it was handled by the BMJ contributed to sensationalizing the story in a way that might make Tamiflu not used in situations where it would have some value. Seems like a valid point to say that there's an impact on public health.
