Great op-ed @usatoday.com from longtime TB Fighter Quinn Yates: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
11,000 more TB patients died after Trump's USAID cuts. That number will rise. | Opinion
The potential for thousands of new deaths from TB is not worth the less than 1% in federal savings that came from cutting USAID.

Experts estimate USAID cuts are leading to 88 deaths PER HOUR. A UN office called these “the deepest funding cuts ever to hit the international humanitarian sector.” If funding isn't resumed, they estimate an additional 10 million cases & 2 million preventable deaths by 2030: tb.impactcounter.com

The US led the way in fighting malnutrition, and USAID provided a miracle peanut paste that brings kids back from the brink -- until now. Starvation is a problem that we can actually solve, but we're now retreating from the fight. Here's what I found in West Africa: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

The chest x-ray use pioneered by Alan Hart continues to be extremely important in screening for tuberculosis. Although no one accomplishes anything in isolation, I'd argue that Hart has helped saved MILLIONS of lives because chest x-rays have been so essential in driving down rates of TB globally.
Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be.
