Evaluating the impact of two decades of USAID interventions and projecting the effects of defunding on mortality up to 2030: a retrospective impact evaluation and forecasting analysis

Findings
Higher levels of USAID funding—primarily directed toward LMICs, particularly African countries—were associated with a 15% reduction in age-standardised all-cause mortality (risk ratio [RR] 0·85, 95% CI 0·78–0·93) and a 32% reduction in under-five mortality (RR 0·68, 0·57–0·80). This finding indicates that 91 839 663 (95% CI 85 690 135–98 291 626) all-age deaths, including 30 391 980 (26 023 132–35 482 636) in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. USAID funding was associated with a 65% reduction (RR 0·35, 0·29-0·42) in mortality from HIV/AIDS (representing 25·5 million deaths), 51% (RR 0·49, 0·39–0·61) from malaria (8·0 million deaths), and 50% (RR 0·50, 0·40–0·62) from neglected tropical diseases (8·9 million deaths). Significant decreases were also observed in mortality from tuberculosis, nutritional deficiencies, diarrhoeal diseases, lower respiratory infections, and maternal and perinatal conditions. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14 051 750 (uncertainty interval 8 475 990–19 662 191) additional all-age deaths, including 4 537 157 (3 124 796–5 910 791) in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030.

Interpretation
USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades. Our estimates show that, unless the abrupt funding cuts announced and implemented in the first half of 2025 are reversed, a staggering number of avoidable deaths could occur by 2030.

Common sense says that the USAid cuts will result in more deaths in the near future. Anyone arguing differently (or asking for definitive proof of something theoretical but obvious) is high on trumpetamine.

You can't disprove it. You've got nothing.

Deep down you know it's true and you don't care. Maybe because most of those people have darker skin, slanty eyes, etc. and their lives don't matter as much to you.

Humanitarian issues aside, it’s strategically important from a foreign policy perspective.

Trump and Musk were too dumb and lacked the foresight to see it.

But hey! We’ll bail out one of Trump and Musk’s besties.

Where’s that chainsaw? Libertarianism FTW!

And you can’t prove it either. So you have nothing but hypocritical.

Wrong. Because they‘re not Americans, and we beyond broke, and we are not the world‘s policeman, ATM, food bank, health clinic, etc. America First.

I can't prove it definitively but the articles/studies I linked to show that millions of deaths are the likely outcome. You resort to FAKE NEWS because you can't disprove those studies.

Does anyone see the irony of cutting the aid that improves living conditions in third world countries and also closing the borders to immigration from those countries?

And the spreading of infectious diseases.

And making China the go to financial assistance.

Look who's grasping at straws now ...

It’s true that the Lancet study’s figures aren’t definitive—no credible research on public health ever claims absolute certainty. But that’s not a flaw, it’s how social science works. What matters is that the study used peer-reviewed methods, compared multiple data sources, and found consistent evidence that cuts to USAID would increase preventable deaths.

In policy, the standard isn’t perfect prediction—it’s the best available evidence. If the weight of peer-reviewed research points to serious risks, then dismissing those findings because they’re not exact overlooks the responsibility to make decisions with the information we do have. Ignoring the evidence entirely just because it’s not 100% certain is riskier than acting on strong, though probabilistic, evidence.

Trump Admin’s $20 Billion ‘Bail Out’ for Argentina’s Milei Raises Eyebrows

The Trump administration says it is working to provide tens of billions of dollars to Argentina's President Javier Milei, in a financial bailout that many critics say clashes with President Donald Trump's “America First” platform.
...
On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the United States is in talks to provide $20 billion to Milei. The announcement comes months after the Trump administration dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in an effort to instead support programs aligned with Trump's "America First" agenda.
...
Many critics have called out the move as Trump showing favor to an ally who is up against a midterm election in October. Trump endorsed him on Tuesday, saying, "I'm doing something I don't often do...I'm giving my full endorsement to him," the president said during their meeting on the sidelines of UNGA, highlighting Milei's economic reforms.

WTF! - I thought we were cutting foreign aid?

And to attempt to influence (i.e. interfere with) an election on top of it all!

Have any facts to back that up?

Speaking of fools and money and international aid. Trump supporters and government spending hawks…You OK with this?

Yes, I lived in Puerto Rico over 20 years….

I saw it with my own eyes

It = corruption with free money (aid) like you would never believe

Especially when he's essentially stating that 100% of the money is not going to what it was intended for.

Let's see real proof not anecdotal stories that are less reliable than the stories of the 26+ women who have accused trump of rape/sexual assault.

Sweet! You should use that to subscribe to a few actual news outlets. Or perhaps purchase a history book. Or to help with payment for a political science class at your local community college. Or cover the rising Trump inflation costs.

I’m just trying to say, I’m happy for you.

Good call. The war zone that is downtown Spokane is lovely in the fall.

Does Junior know about all this fraud?

Hassan Defrauded Autism Program of $14M, Carried Out Feeding Our Future Fraud, Bought Real Estate in Kenya with Taxpayer Money

To run their fraud scheme, Hassan and her partners needed children who had an autism diagnosis and an individual treatment plan. Hassan and her partners approached parents in the Somali community to recruit their children into Smart Therapy. Where a child did not have an autism diagnosis and an individual treatment plan, HASSAN and her partners worked with a QSP to get the recruited child qualified for autism services. There was no child that Smart Therapy was not able to get qualified for autism services
