Making the World Unhealthy Again

[JLW]

Lifesaving health initiatives and medical research projects have shut down around the world in response to the Trump administration’s 90-day pause on foreign aid and stop-work orders…..

Dozens of clinical trials in South Asia, Africa and Latin America have been suspended. Thousands of people enrolled in the studies have drugs, vaccines and medical devices in their bodies but no longer have access to continuing treatment or to the researchers who were supervising their care.

This makes perfect sense to Trumpers because as we all know diseases and viruses respect borders.

It is over the news.Do some research, Bozo.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Maybe their own countries can contribute, or the UN can step up and pay for it all. Every country in the world demands we give them more and more.
Sorry, we are in the process of healing our own country for a while.

The Federal Funding Freeze has been RESCINDED. Days ago in fact. Now don't you feel stupid?

The Federal Funding Freeze has been RESCINDED. Days ago in fact. Now don't you feel stupid?

You really need to do your homework. From my source above:

“…..federal judge blocked the freeze until Feb. 3. But in practice, most U.S.A.I.D. country offices and programs are proceeding as if the freeze remains in place.

They have been unable to obtain clarification on whether and when their work can continue because their assigned contacts at U.S.A.I.D. have either been fired or furloughed, or are under strict instructions to not talk to anyone.

Despite the court order, thousands of people have already lost their jobs as a result of the freeze. About 500 U.S.-based employees of U.S.A.I.D. were fired. In countries from India to Zimbabwe, staff members for health projects were immediately fired. An organization called the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, which does research on a top killer of children, laid off more than 1,000 employees this week.”

This is what Trumpists voted for. Wait till the next Ebola-like outbreak somewhere in the world, and it’s spreads like wildfire because of Trump and his policies.

Now don’t you feel like an idiot?

It is rescinded. Furthermore, the ORIGINAL MEMO stated clearly that the funded agencies had until Feb. 10th to report who they were, what they were doing, and how the funds were being used. Thanks for playing. Run along sonny.

Cant those countries pay for their own research? I remember back in the day when Liberals hated it when Government got involved in other countries business.

Why aren’ you man enough to admit you are fine with Trump’s policies of gutting foreign aid for disease control instead of acting like the proverbial ostrich.

But it appears you may not be fine with the freeze afterall. You are throwing a tantrum defending the judge’s decision to halt Trump’s federal freeze.

Oh course, I am glad you admit that the judge was right to halt Trump’s “federal freeze.” Maybe there is hope for you after all.

Most these countries cannot pay for their own research. That is the point of the aid. What viruses and diseases develop in Africa, Asia and South America does not stay in Africa, Asia or South America.

Yes they should. Furthermore, foreign countries have a habit of misusing or stealing our funding because we have ZERO OVERSIGHT. That is what Trump's memo was addressing.

You are one contradictory poster on this issue.

 

[Donald H]

The rest of the world will take measures to insulate themselves from US influence. If Trump survives, America will become the hated fascist regime within the year.

It's all good! America has nothing that the rest of the world can't provide to their people. All the overpriced US pharmaceuticals will be quickly replaced by much more affordable copies.

What could Trump have been thinking?

There's no pharnaceutical that can't be copied. If Trump's America won't play fair then there goes his patent protection.

He's shooting his toes off but doesn't understand why!

You don't understand the subject at all. As usual.

Countries that renegade against established world order, will be treated like criminal empires.

This isn't the past when America could do what it pleased. The rest of the world has alternative choices to turn to for free and fair trade relations.

Some countries will feel America's sting but if Trump doesn't fold then America's chickens will be coming home within the year.

It can't end better than that!
