• Projections by the researchers show that if USAID cuts continue, more than 14 million additional deaths could occur by 2030, including over 4.5 million among children under 5, or about 700,000 extra child deaths per year.
  • The figures reflect the projected consequences of halting funding not only for health services but also for critical sectors such as nutrition, education, water and sanitation and humanitarian relief.
  • The study warns that the impact of USAID cuts could extend beyond the agency’s own programs: international donors may also reduce their commitments, further weakening service delivery in countries already dependent on external support.

      Would you stop with that? That’s not what lost. Eos

      You sound like Trump’s barbie mouthpiece blaming everything on Biden. The guy who isn’t president and didn’t create the issues that we face

      Grow up and face the current issue. Not the one that doesn’t matter at all right now

      Personally, I blame the murderous fascists.

      If we were a democracy then maybe it would make sense to blame the public. But our elections are a cesspit of corruption, vote buying, gerrymandering and rampant open illegality.

      The public have had little to no relevant say in who forms a government for a few decades at least, probably since the 70s. It makes no sense to blame the public.

          You’re not informing anyone. You’re pointing fingers and not even at the people who are actually carrying out these policies. What you’re really doing is trying to do a barely-disguised smug “I told ya so”. Those protest non-voters told democrats that they need to clean their act up or they would lose and would you look at that, they were right, so I guess they’re the champions of “I told ya so” but I don’t see them try to rub it in people’s faces like you.

          There is no data to suggest that protest non voters swung the results and some recent data from Pew that they did not.

          If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Dems for choosing policies they knew in advance would supress turnout.

          But again, this election was neither free nor fair. Only those who engineered this coup are responsible for it.

            I’m not mad either. I’m informing protest non voters what they actually voted for. Something tells me you’ll strawman again so ciao.

              That wasn’t a strawman, it was a direct challenge to your claim that non-voters decided the election.

                The strawman were 1) that I was blaming 2) that I was mad. I think you know this. I’ll say it once more: I am informing protest non voters what they voted for. I’m out.

    So we can take that $44 Billion and have public healthcare in the US now? Right? Right republicans? You’re moving that to help US residents? No, you’re just killing people worldwide.

      Right. Republicans cut spending in USAID. But won’t use that money for public health in USA.

      Even better, we’re taking that money, and taking money from people on Medicaid in the US and then funneling all of it to the ultra rich via tax cuts!

        Gilded Age 2 electric boogaloo. All we need now is some child labor laws to get repealed and then we will have our first trillionaire by the end of the decade.

    That’s more deaths than the Holocaust at a much early stage of fascism too. Of course that doesn’t account for inflation - 6m dead is closer to 20m with today’s total population.

    But have no fear, this republican regime will do everything in their power to surpass their idols.
