This will cause irreparable harm to worldclass US research which is essential for innovation and growth. It is simply impossible to see how this could be in the best interest of America.

But my quote continues to state that -““Under this particular administration … they’re going to give a much more narrow interpretation of how aid should be used, and this kind of soft power or getting goodwill from countries to help you in the future will be diminished….”
“All government assistance, development and humanitarian, it’s there to further a government’s interests,” said @pbspiegel, director of @Humanit_Health in @theintercept. Read more here:

Scandalous- In less than two weeks, the Trump administration largely dismantled the work of USAID, a 10,000-person, $40 billion foreign-assistance agency. How?

Simply scandalous. Administrative leave for all USAID staff and thanking them for their service. They deserve better. The millions of people who benefited from USAID deserve better. Americans deserve better. This is so plainly wrong.

The situation is so chaotic and confused - perhaps deliberately so - but there is no confusion regarding the negative effects on vulnerable populations around the globe.
The decision to defund USAID is short-sighted & dangerous. Millions depend on U.S. humanitarian assistance. Dr @pbspiegel dir @Humanit_Health warns this decision will hurt the world’s most vulnerable & America’s global leadership. Watch the full interview:

Stopping funding to WHO will hurt millions of vulnerable people around the world, reduce America’s influence, and provide an opening for China to fill the vacuum. @DrTedros @WHO

Furthermore, the USG is leaving a leadership vacuum that other governments will fill. Finally, besides harming the health of millions of people around the globe, it makes Americans more vulnerable to epidemics.
“@WHO can be improved...” says @pbspiegel, professor & director of @Humanit_Health at @JohnsHopkinsSPH. “But by pulling out, & removing the huge amount of money that the U.S. gives, you’re not allowing the #WHO to make reforms. You’re hobbling it.”
