One, you edited your post to add after I started to respond.

Two, thank you for confirming that you don't GAF about saving lives. You aren't a hypocrite as long as you don't support anti-abortion efforts as a way to save lives.

Three, until proven otherwise, the data stands as presented.
Nope. This figure originates from a speculative model created by Brooke Nichols, a mathematical health modeler at Boston University. Nichols's model projects what COULD HAPPEN as a result of USAID cuts, ESTIMATING that could lead to 300k deaths.

Until proven as recorded deaths, the data is worthless as titties on a bull. :nod:
When you’re using Elon and Rogan to make your point, you’ve clearly won the argument. :lol:

Are you claiming that it’s not a predictive model but actual recorded deaths?

No. It, it sounds predictive but predictive models can be accurate. It’s pretty dumb to ridicule it at this point. But yeah…Musk and Rogan….

Bush teams up with notorious Trump foes to trash 'colossal mistake' shuttering USAID
Former President George W. Bush joined up with former President Barack Obama and U2 singer Bono to comfort United States Agency for International Development employees Monday, while also taking shots at President Donald Trump and his administration for shuttering the agency plagued by accusations of fraud and abuse.
...
Bush, who overwhelmingly has shied away from publicly criticizing Trump, lamented in his recorded message to the staffers that the end of USAID marks an end to his administration's work rolling out an AIDS and HIV program that is credited with saving 25 million people nationwide.

"You’ve showed the great strength of America through your work — and that is your good heart,’’ Bush told USAID staffers, according to The Associated Press. "Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you."
USAID saved 25 million lives and would have saved millions more. Millions will die as a result of these cuts. The "party of life" strikes once again.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

“At USAID, 12 cents of every dollar was reaching the recipient. That means that in order for us to get aid to somebody, we had to spend all this other money supporting this foreign aid industrial complex,” Rubio said."

It will be hundreds of thousands and likely millions.

The "Party of Life" only cares about American lives? That's not very Christian.

Then tell the hypocritical Republicans to stop referring to the party as the "party of life" or "party of vamily values". Calling the Republican Party that is a HOAX.
