Senator Markey defends public health prerogatives, citing fall 2022 tripledemic of COVID, flu, RSV

Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey says objecting to a consent request to passing the Freedom to Breathe Act that in 2022, the convergence of flu, RSV, and COVID 19 pushed healthcare centers to their limits, with emergency departments overwhelmed by patients of all ages, creating ongoing concerns for healthcare providers, health centers, public health departments, transportation workers, and schools preparing to protect students, seniors, the disabled, and immunocompromised individuals, prompting millions of Americans to take measures such as vaccination and mask wearing in contrast with Republican opposition to making healthcare more affordable, as they had fought against Medicaid expansion, affordable medications for seniors, and legislation safeguarding individuals' healthcare decision making with their doctors.
