The impact extends to adults and includes over 9.5 million additional malaria cases. #ForeignAid #HealthCrisis Dr. Nichols' data highlights disruptions in vaccination, food distribution, and medical care access. The Lancet predicted these cuts could cause 14 million more deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under 5. The cuts were led by Elon Musk's DOGE initiative and supported by Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. -- The human impact of cuts to U.S. foreign aid is coming into focus: 518,428 children have died from preventable causes. That’s an estimate from Boston University epidemiologist Dr. Brooke Nichols, who tracks the data in real time. Her dashboard also estimates there have been 262,915 adult deaths, as well as more than 9.5 million additional cases of malaria. Many of these deaths are associated with disruptions to vaccination efforts, food distribution, and access to basic medical care. One study from the Lancet last year predicted that the cuts could lead to 14 million additional deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under the age of 5. The cuts to USAID programs were led by Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative and backed by President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Follow @therecount for more.
