- 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.
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.
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 All we need now is some child labor laws to get repealed and then we will have our first trillionaire by the end of the decade.
They’ve already been doing that in several states.
Right. Republicans cut spending in USAID. But won’t use that money for public health in USA.
