This is accurate & not hyperbole from @jfallows.bsky.social
With support from USAID, the DRC had built an outbreak preparedness & response system “ready to go,” e.g., surveillance, labs, health workers, & stockpiles of personal protective equipment
When Musk killed USAID, that system collapsed 😢

Honestly, this is just the beginning. As we get closer to the election stuff like this will ramp up. And on November 3rd, and the days following, it's going to be bad

Future historian department:
-Front page of today's NYT reports creation of world's first trillionaire.
-Lead op-ed of same NYT is about worst-ever Ebola outbreak, which *this VERY SAME trillionaire* enabled, with his "chainsaw" destruction of US public health in the world.
The book writes itself
A Congolese aid veteran on the Ebola response: “like hyenas on a dead body.” $1B last time, big salaries for outsiders, almost no local hires—so people started calling it a business.

The MAHA Administration's hypocrisy, yet AGAIN:
It urges families to eat healthy food but then cuts $141 million from "the part of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children that lets low-income families buy fruits & vegetables"
