I’m glad this exists, but I’m sad that as the world becomes more globalized and as the world heats up, we’re going to need a hell of a lot more vaccines developed and a lot of people are going to die of diseases those vaccines could prevent before they’re developed.

This is great news. I don’t know that it’s a huge threat in the majority of the US. Great news for tropical climates though.

Mosquitos might be present, but the virus doesn’t appear to be. www.cdc.gov/…/chikungunya-in-the-us.html

You’re right. Probably most important to Americans who travel to those climates. I doubt they’ll widely administer it to Americans who don’t travel.

More and more of the US is going to be a tropical climate and will have to deal with tropical diseases in the coming decades. We'll need to stop pretending the Gulf is substantially different than Central America in ecology pretty soon, including for diseases.

The best time to get serious about fighting back against these diseases was generations ago. Of course, capitalist systems didn't care about suffering and death that didn't effect the bottom line, but as the threats loom closer they finally get off their haunches. Any progress on it is good.

theres a growing concern that climate change will allow mosquitoes with dengue would hit the states at some point, and its just a matter of time for other ones.
