So many organizations I’ve had the privilege of working with received termination letters from USAID this week. Here’s an estimate of how many lives may be lost as a result, in South Africa alone: >500k additional deaths, >500k new infections doi.org/10.7326/ANNA...

Earlier this year, Phil Singer, @bradwrightphd.bsky.social, and I published a piece in JHPPL in which we looked at 1332 waiver activity from 2019 to 2023. We examined how the Trump administration used waivers to try to accomplish some of their #healthpolicy priorities, and how Biden reversed course.
