Redaktørens hjørne #12: Vaksineskjevfordeling, Gamma-varianten, klimakrisen

Skjevfordeling av vaksinedoser globalt blir enda tydeligere nå som flere land begynner å gi sin befolkning en tredje dose for å bekjempe covid-19-pandemien. Og er profitt fra vaksineskjevfordeling en forbrytelse mot menneskeheten? ACT-A-samarbeidet evalueres dessuten nå – men mange mener analysen ikke går langt nok. Hvordan utvikler kunnskapen seg om behandling av nye dødelige sykdommer? Og visste du at det hittil har blitt identifisert 8 forskjellige SARS-CoV-2-varianter? Hvordan vil klimakrisen påvirke helsevesenet? Sjefredaktør Are Brean deler siste nytt fra andre medisinske tidsskrifter.
