I'm fascinated at how much more we (at least the public) are discovering of the effects of climate change. Basic level was: hotter years, and then we discover new mechanics that comes with this change
insects populations exploding spreading blood borne disease is going to be a way bigger factor that fungus.
but there isn't a TV show/video game about that.
Where are you that insect populations are exploding? All the reports for some time say that populations are declining globally.
The good news there is that we have a 77% effective malaria vaccine and a number of promising candidate Lyme vaccines - it may turn out that a great many insect-borne diseases can be prevented with vaccination once they start affecting people in rich countries.

Hm. It's a start I guess.
Thankfully the braindeads refusing the vaccines on these diseases won't affect anyone else but themselves.
They have kids, hopefully we can get CPS on them if they refuse
And even more good news: vaccines have never been the subject of controversy!
There isn't a TV show about that yet.
