I think @stephanienolen.bsky.social has just made the most impassioned, objective, and important defense of USAID health investments I've yet to hear. I do challenge Michael Crowley's assumption that "most Americans don't support foreign aid" what do others think? podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/t...

Hi everyone! Its amazing to connect with so many #globalhealth advocates . I'm curious what y'all think about this (good) article from @nytimes.com. It felt off to talk about ebola, dengue as just "strange viruses" that don't have a "big effect" in the US? Are we forgetting other countries here?
