The pandemic is at its worst, globally, and expert eyes are trained on the role of new variants. Catastrophic surges are tearing across places where some thought the darkest days were already over. In India, where hospitals are running out of oxygen and COVID-19 cases are increasing exponentially, officials are concerned about a “double mutant” version of SARS-CoV-2 called B.1.167. In Brazil, where more than 2,500 people are dying every day, the government is urging people not to get pregnant for fear of variants like P.1. And such variants are giving rise to further variants, as mutations layer on mutations.
Op-ed: Preventing disease by addressing climate change, understanding immunity
To reduce the threat of major global diseases such as COVID-19, governments must make greater investments in climate-change solutions and in understanding how the human immune system works, says Wayne Koff, adjunct professor of epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Climate change–driven weather extremes have led to human migration that has brought people into closer contact with animals harboring dangerous pathogens, according to an April 22, 2021, opinion piece in STAT co-authored by Koff. Climate change has also led to increased air pollution from wildfires, death and malnutrition from extreme heat, and water-borne illnesses associated with more frequent and intense hurricanes.

After I got my second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, a wave of euphoria infused me along with the modified messenger RNA. Many friends describe the same feeling. This is the end of the pandemic for me. Life returns to normal.
But then my usual, pessimistic view of life returned along with an examination of the evidence. There is no question the development of the vaccines is a monumental achievement of science. Nor can anyone doubt that I and the rest of the 14 percent of adult Americans who are fully vaccinated are far better off than if the vaccines came later or not at all. But for now, here is what I can say for sure: It is unlikely that for the next six months I will get severely sick or die from the disease
