This Is What Happened When Trump Abandoned the World's Poorest Children

[Coventina]

***snip***

The administration is now withholding aid for vaccines for poor countries in ways that may cost the lives of vast numbers of children. Trump slashed funding for an international vaccine alliance called Gavi, and now the administration is also refusing to release $600 million for Gavi that Congress has already appropriated and that must be spent by September.

Gavi is one of the most cost-effective aid programs in history. One study found that each dollar spent on vaccines in poor countries brings a return of $54 in reduced health costs and other benefits. I was once hospitalized with a serious case of malaria that I caught in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and I think it’s a miracle that a few doses of a $3 malaria vaccine can now save a Congolese child’s life — and a scandal that administration officials are willing to let such children die because of ideological hostility toward vaccines.

Gavi also pays for HPV vaccines that prevent cervical cancer, which kills more than 900 women every day worldwide. Cervical cancer is an excruciating, humiliating way to die — it is sometimes diagnosed partly by the odor of rotting flesh — yet a $4 vaccine can prevent it. Gavi’s vaccinations have already averted almost one million of these horrific deaths from cervical cancer.

Trump’s cuts have created a budget crisis for Gavi and other aid agencies. It has been magnified because European countries followed America’s lead with cuts to their own aid budgets. Gavi estimates that 600,000 lives will be unnecessarily lost by 2030 as a result. Think of your mother, wife, daughter; multiply by 600,000, and you glimpse the cost of Trump’s destruction of just the Gavi element of American aid.

1. Trump sports a tremendous woodie...

... at the thought of people – especially unwhite people – dying a result of his despicable actions. Dead children are an added bonus.
His own demise can't happen soon enough.

2. "The administration is now withholding aid for vaccines for poor countries..."

Well, if they won't allow the 'pedo cabal' to plunder their kids, they will just let them all perish.

Sounds about right for the GOP. Typical 'my way or no way' mentality.

11. Just an FYI. The HPV virus causes multiple types of cancers of the head in men. I had tonsil cancer.

Radiation and kemo took care of it. I was lucky to have caught it early.

The point is that young boys should get the HPV vaccine to protect them in later life.
