“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I think most people have a hard time believing that the USAID/PEPFAR cuts are as bad as they are bc it's impossible to stomach that policymakers would knowingly kill millions. But this is what is happening. PEPFAR supported antiretroviral therapy for 20.6 million people. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
