USAID does so much in supplying food and in global disease control. I am acquainted with several people who spent years working with USAID. I asked one of them today about whether PEPFARS and the TB treatment programs have really been resumed, and word on the ground is, they haven't--because the Musk minions fired all the contractors and intermediaries who get the medicines to the clinics and patients. Even if they don't care about what happens to people in "sh**hole countries", they are ignoring what is delicately called "enlightened self interest". The resurgence of partially treated HIV, TB and other infections is a recipe for evolving more drug resistant strains of all these infections. And they won''t stay 'over there'--they'll be over here in no time spreading across North America.
