Tell me this is not all at the direction of #putin. The #Trump administration has terminated more than 5,300 #grants and #contracts managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development #USAID worth more than $27 billion, according to a document obtained by POLITICO. https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000195-d4ba-dc7d-add5-f6fe93e40000 #foreign #aid #statedepartment #budget #vaccines #food #healthcare #HIV #AIDS
This breaks my heart.
The Trump/Musk regime want to take us back to the days of HIV/AIDS "killing all the right people" with MAGA Republicans cheering on the virus.
"Nach Kürzung von US-Hilfen: UN-#Aids-programm befürchtet 6,3 Millionen zusätzliche Todesfälle."
So sieht sie aus: die Rache der #Arschlochgesellschaft.

this is what you get when you put a man who doesn't believe that HIV causes AIDS (which is the main point of #RFK's book "The Real Anthony Fauci") in charge of american health policy.
Let's learn from the #activism that peaked at the height of the #aids epidemic. This post is from @theaidsmemorial on Instagram. #joy as #resistance. Keep on putting your oxygen mask on to help others.

Peter Donde was a 10-year-old infected with H.I.V. from his mother during childbirth. But American aid kept Peter strong even as his parents died from #AIDS. A program started by President George W. Bush called #PEPFAR saved 26 million lives from AIDS, and one was Peter’s.[...]
Without the help of the community health worker, Peter was unable to get his medicines, so he became sick and died in late February, according to Moses Okeny Labani, a health outreach worker who helped manage care for Peter and 144 other vulnerable children.[...]
“If #USAID would be here, Peter Donde would not have died,” Labani said.[...]
Achol Deng, an 8-year-old girl, was also infected with #HIV at birth and likewise remained alive because of American assistance. Then in January, Achol lost her ID card, and there was no longer a case worker to help get her a new card and medicines; she too became sick and died, said Labani.(
15,000 people have already died due to Trump's cuts to USAID.
SINCE 2003, AIDS relief through USAID had already saved >25 million lives. Trump's cuts to the agency could lead to hundreds of thousands, or even millions, more deaths in the next few years.
Measles has a mortality rate in poor countries of 3-5%. Without USAID, vaccinations in those countries will likely decline, increasing deaths, as well.

USAID Was Promised Emergency Waivers for Ebola & AIDS. They’re Not Working
#ElonMusk claims he mistakenly fired Ebola prevention workers, then quickly fixed the error. But #Ebola programs are still in tatters, along w/other livesaving efforts like #AIDS treatments for #children.

"In the next five years, we could have 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths" due to US cuts to supply medications to manage HIV.
Mark Pocan, Robin Kelly, and 109 Add’l House Democrats Urge Immediate Restoration of #PEPFAR
We urge that essential #HIV and #AIDS services continue uninterrupted;
A halt in these services threatens millions of lives, undermines decades of progress, and diminishes U.S. leadership in global health security and diplomacy
