Screenshot of a research article titled β€œThe Effects of Reductions in United States Foreign Assistance on Global Health,” posted April 8, 2025. Authors are John Stover and Emily Sonneveldt from Avenir Health. The abstract notes that in January 2025, the U.S. halted nearly all foreign health aid to low- and middle-income countries, creating uncertainty and making it difficult for national programs to adapt. The study estimates the impact on outcomes in four key areas: HIV, tuberculosis (TB), family planning (FP), and maternal and child health (MCH).

If you're wondering what the projected mortality and morbidity rates might look like in a future defunded of US investment in science and health, here's a preprint article of some very sobering findings.

The truth is heavy. That’s why it matters. ⬇️

Before voting them out, please read why they voted to approve the budget. There is a good interview in The NY Times Sunday with Schumer.

$18 million spent on golf course SO FAR - that’s roughly 6 big research grants from NIH - giving employment to 6 research teams (approx. 18 people total), resources and research reagents, for 5 YEARS! Plus priceless research + discoveries that SAVE HEALTH AND LIVES!
