A person's immune response to variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on their previous exposure – and differences in the focus of immune responses will help scientists understand how to optimise vaccines in the future to provide broad protection. A new study has found that people differ in how vulnerable they are to different mutations in emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2. This is because the variant of SARS-CoV-2 a person was first exposed to determines how well their immune system responds to different parts of the virus, and how protected they are against other variants.

One hundred years ago, a pioneering group of women proposed the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) which would definitively enshrine the principle of gender equality in the Constitution. Now, a century later, our fight continues to finish the job and codify women's rights and gender equality once and for all. I have long supported the ERA since I first ran for public office - and it is long past time that we heed the will of the American people and make this Amendment the law of the land. No one should be discriminated against based on their sex-and we, as a nation, must affirm and protect women's full equality.
