"Americans may not agree about much, but it’s clear they are angry about the degree to which corporations constrain our choices about our health and our bodies...But just when we should be demanding more public accountability and reliability, we seem to be turning away from the idea that health is a collective endeavor, a public good at all, and retreating into the rhetoric of personal responsibility. "

But the result has been that, in little more than a month, America has transformed itself from a preeminent #GlobalHealth leader into an untrustworthy has-been. Undermining even one of these institutions would have posed a serious threat; gutting them all at once is an invitation for future outbreaks.

…#DOGE’s slash-&-burn campaign has hit everything from the #NIH to the National #Weather Service. The cuts to #GlobalHealth, however, are especially alarming. It’s unclear what #Musk thought would happen when he fed the #USAID “into the wood chipper,” as he proclaimed w/gleeful indifference on X, the social-media megaphone he owns. Ditto what #Trump thought when he withdrew the #US from the #WHO & effectively muzzled the #CDC.

The Diseases Are Coming

#ElonMusk’s slash-&-burn govt tear will have lasting effects on #GlobalHealth.

At #Trump’s 1st Cabinet meeting, last month, #Musk …admitted that #DOGE had “accidentally canceled very briefly” #Ebola-prevention programs. After a…chuckle, he claimed that the oversight had been swiftly corrected. But it wasn’t. The truth is far more disturbing—this admin…has actively dismantled the infrastructure…to detect & confront deadly pathogens.

"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is closely monitoring an unknown disease that has killed dozens in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the agency said in a statement on Monday....At least 1,096 people have been sickened and 60 people have died from the disease, the World Health Organization said Thursday in its most recent update."

A snr #USAID official was placed on leave Sunday after he wrote a memo blowing the whistle on the #Trump admin’s failure to provide lifesaving #humanitarian assistance, contradicting claims by Secy of #State #MarcoRubio that it was exempt from the freeze on #ForeignAid.

Shortly after receiving notice that he’d been placed on leave, Nicholas Enrich, USAID’s acting asst administrator for #GlobalHealth, released a series of memos he’d written.

Elisha Dunn-Georgiou, president & CEO of the #GlobalHealth Council, said the situation is "horrible." She said that even some of the programs that had received waivers for being "life saving humanitarian assistance”–including ones that provided #HIV medications–have now received termination notices.

"This is a global health #massacre," said one #humanitarian ofcl, who isn't authorized to speak on behalf of their org.

The announcement came just hours before [what was]… a court deadline for the #Trump admin to restart payments on those grants. The govt still owes >$1B for work done BEFORE Trump's foreign #aid freeze. But late Wed the admin asked #SCOTUS to vacate the lower court order to start funding those programs again, saying that it could not make the payments on the deadline set by the judge.
