🚨 This analysis piece in @bmj.com is absolutely 🔥 (disclosure: I was a peer reviewer)

Title: "The United States is Driving a Public Heath Emergency of International Concern"
www.bmj.com/content/392/...
We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
New analysis published in @bmj.com where @roojinhabibi.org Fatima Hassan, Andy Hill & I argue the US -- through its actions -- creating a 'public health emergency of international concern'.
Multiple epidemics are expected, so we call upon @who.int to act decisively.
