Melissa in the Morning: More Heat, More Disease?

PBS News Hour published an article this week titled “Warming planet may have overwhelming impact on infectious diseases.” It discussed the changes in climate impacting things like bug populations, fungi, bacteria and algae. There are a lot of reasons human illnesses could be on the rise. Dr. Browne shared his voice of reason on the matter. He also spoke about the new FDA approved RSV vaccine and a new covid study suggesting certain genes protect people from contracting covid.
