I have a bachelor's degree in history and worked as a docent for a library exhibit on the eugenics movement in medical school. This is eugenics cosplaying as "efficiency."
By eliminating USAID and gutting global humanitarian aid, the eugenics freaks who hide behind the veil of “long-termism” and “utilitarianism” are getting exactly what they want: the mass death of people they view as unnecessary.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

Cronobacter sakazakii thrives in dry environments. Contaminated powdered infant formula is responsible for most Cronobacter outbreaks. It causes sepsis & brain abscesses in infants. The association is so common that it’s a pediatric ID boards question. These committees lead such investigations.
USDA has eliminated two food safety advisory committees for microbiological contamination and meat inspection. Most recently, they had been reviewing regulatory approaches in response to the fatal Listeria outbreak from Boar’s Head meats and fatal Cronobacter contamination in powdered infant formula
USDA eliminates two food safety advisory committees
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has eliminated two committees that advise it on food safety, the agency said on Friday, raising concerns about government oversight of the food supply as the Trump administration seeks to downsize the federal bureaucracy and slash costs.

Please, please vaccinate your children. Measles is not harmless. And it’s almost entirely vaccine-preventable. 😔
