Its hard to fathom that in 5 years nearly half as many people (14million) will die as a result of USAID’s closure than were saved (25million) in over 20 years of the US funding AIDS relief. That’s a shocking reversal. I wonder what US policy choice has ever had such impact?
"USAID funding was associated with a 65% reduction in mortality from HIV/AIDS, 51% from malaria, and 50% tropical diseases. Models predicted that the current funding cuts could result in more than 14m additional deaths, including 4.5m in kids >5 by 2030."https://t.co/tynTDLyySJ
