re: Does tamiflu work as a preventative?

It doesn't work after 48 hours of showing symptoms. So the start of the window you have to take it in is cloudy.

Few studies out there proving that tamiflu does not work. Can any OT docs validate or debunk these findings?

Link the study/studies you're mentioning if you want a critical analysis of them. I've never seen one that proved Tamiflu didn't work. Most of the studies that showed efficacy showed a reduction in duration of symptoms by ~12 hours with no significant difference in hospital admissions or ICU admissions between the two groups. I forget all the measured surrogate markers of efficacy/outcomes in that specific study.
