Biocryst seeks U.S. aid on bird flu drug

So this company wants $10 million from the federal government to develop this drug to treat bird flu sufferers. Seems like a small price to pay, really, but they're not getting it. However, I wonder if the Feds don't know what they're doing. The drug was originally intended to treat ordinary flu sufferers but was ineffective. They're moving to a megadose for bird flu but you can see why the government would be skeptical.
