The flu season is off to an alarming start. Hospitalizations from influenza are at their highest levels in the last decade, and case counts are rising across the country. Meanwhile, vaccination rates have fallen well below historical trends. This, plus a surge of other respiratory viruses, has contributed to what some are calling a pediatric care crisis in many parts of the country.
Thankfully, some members of Congress are taking long-overdue action to improve the way our country prepares for and responds to seasonal and pandemic flu.
Public health experts typically look to the Southern Hemisphere for a signal of what America’s influenza season will entail. This past summer, Australia’s season was both early and severe: Between May and July, weekly flu cases exceeded the country’s five-year average and sick leave rose 50 percent. Young children were most at risk, with the highest case rates among those ages five through nine, followed by children ages four and younger.
Unfortunately, we are seeing the same patterns play out in the U.S. Official estimates show that in the early months of the 2022-23 flu season, there have been at least 15 million illnesses, 150,000 hospitalizations and 9,300 deaths from flu. Tragically, this includes 30 pediatric deaths.

The AMA must act !
Let’s just shut everything down for 2 weeks...or months...that will fix EVERYTHING! /s
Wash your hands.
Give me a freaking break. There's nothing those arseholes cannot make much worse.
Congress doesn’t act in a flu emergency. The local DPH does.
“As the flu surges, Congress must act”
they should start by outlawing influenza ...
Congress should make the flu illegal.
Tommy just can’t stand that they are losing their COVID control.
One might wonder if immune systems have been suppressed.
Just the flu, bro
TOM DASCHLE???
Who turned over that rock?
The AMA? The same AMA that instituted "woke" policies for medical students and all that ridiculous stuff? Yeah, like I'm really gonna believe anything the politically motivated AMA says.
And exactly what will Congress do about the Flu? Are they all Medical Doctors? Get Bent, Federal Government.
Gah!!!!
Tom Daschle? I thought he was dead.
Channel money to whoever he is lobbying for.
Well men of his stature are in short supply.
You are correct.
“Congress must act” is code for spending billions or even trillions and then having whatever agency, nation, or NGO siphon a large fraction of it back to the DNC or favorite democrat
Before the truth started leaking out, back when the talking heads were still saying it was a 'pandemic of the unvaccinated', a doctor posted online that the Covid-19 'vaccines' were safe because illness was not made more severe. He was wrong of course, but here's the post from July 2021:
https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/antibody-dependent-enhancement-in-vaccines
This is false information, it was never the unvaccinated experiencing excessive impacts of Covid or any other respiratory illness. By now too much information has made it to the public sphere to continue this 'big lie', unless you're the head of the CDC, or the deposed Fauci, in which case they just keep saying the same false statements.
Those who do experience the ADE side-effect now, as a result of the Covid 'vaccine,' are expected to experience more severe disease and it will be clinically indistinguishable from Covid or influenza - same symptoms only more severe.
With significant numbers of people experiencing this known side-effect of Coronavirus vaccines, ADE, will be hidden as it is diagnosed as influenza and/or Covid (the media is also calling it a tri-demic) and this will be used to push vaccines on people. They will claim the ADE side-effects are actually some virulent strain of either Covid or Influenza and try to force the public to receive yet another 'vaccine' and likely tell the public the unvaccinated are again driving the pandemic.
Note: There's no test that accurately diagnoses Covid because they based the test on the influenza vaccine, even the CDC admitted to that. Also, the PCR test is not a diagnostic tool according to its inventor. So why use an invalid test, and why use it to test for Covid anymore?
