   Here’s another way climate change will kill us: the expansion of mosquitoes and the deadly diseases they carry.

   In Paris, the invasive Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), an aggressive, day-biting nuisance, is now everywhere. So excited to get Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika in Paris.

     Don't we have a Zika vaccine by now? I kinda stopped following Moderna, Pfizer, and BioNTech research pipeline by now. But they did have something that was quite promising at least.

     From a quick search mRNA-1893 may have made it? Can't find at the moment if it is through phase 3 and available though.

     I think the viruses we can manage. All of the rest at the same time? Well...
