The author reflects on the origin of the pandemic, the causes of its global expansion and how we can eradicate other zoonotic pandemics caused by viruses, relying on the theses of scientists and experts, concludes that in the dialectic of the Anthropocene, nature returns man with greater he forces the violence that he has exercised against her. On the other hand, it analyzes the relationship of the pandemic with gender and power, since women are the most affected by its consequences, physical, economic and political, giving itself the paradox that having intervened in the fight against it, they are exposed to greater poverty and a setback in the process towards citizenship equality. It highlights women who have had great leadership in their countries and in science to stop its spread, as well as in the discovery of modern modified RNA vaccines. As a solution to another possible world, radical environmental humanism is pointed out, which contrasts the old theories of fierce competition with the theories of Endosymbiosis and the mutual support of living beings, highlighting the scientific advances of Lynn Margulis, on the evolution of the life, Gaia theory and Elinor Ostrom’s “The Government of the Commons”. The text raises a new vital paradigm, a model of human relationship without exploitation, free and inclusive.
