Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital at a press conference said they fear this year’s deadly flu season will explode into a full-blown pandemic because of the huge escalation of influenza cases they are seeing in only one week. Other states are reporting large upswings as well.
U.S. Sen. Edward J. Markey called on Congress to commit $1 billion toward the development of a universal flu vaccine to help wipe away the terrifying surge.
“We still fall so short in our response to this annual menace,” Markey said. “Flu season shouldn’t be Groundhog’s Day for our universal health community.”
A universal vaccine — which would cost taxpayers $200 million a year — would be able to treat multiple mutating strains of virus, doctors said.
And Markey said he expects Republicans in the House and Senate will recognize the dire need for a universal vaccine. “I feel very confident that I can reach across the aisle, find Republican support, and begin to find a dedicated way to give support to these researchers,” he said.
Dr. David Hooper, Mass General’s chief of infection control, said, “This is the worst flu season I’ve seen in a number of years.” Hooper also pointed out the surge in influenza cases is taking place well before the peak of the traditional flu season, saying, “We’re only partway there yet.”
It’s now been 100 years since a global pandemic of “the Spanish Flu” claimed the lives of more than 50 million people around the world, and there are concerns a pandemic is due to happen again.
