Killing Children: Now A Republican Thang
Halting PEPFAR -- which provided about 20 million people with HIV antiretroviral drugs at a microscopic cost -- has already killed an estimated 54,500 adults and 5,800 children. Roughly 1,500 babies have been born HIV-positive every day since January 21, because Musk cut off their mothers’ medication.
And by shuttering USAID, warehouses are full of rotting food that American taxpayers already paid for but that can’t be handed out. Millions of people are seeing their cases of HIV, tuberculosis, and other diseases rage out of control.
Republicans are passing a budget that will explode the nation's debt and withdrawing funding for low cost drug treatments, a move that is literally killing children.
Like Joni Ernst said: "Well, we are all going to die." Republicans simply want to speed that process along.
