This is inhumane & irresponsible: Kul Gautam

If proof of the Trump/Musk administration's mean & malevolent intentions were needed, this is it.

"The US terminating funding for polio, HIV/AIDS, malaria and nutrition programs around the world".

Most of these projects were run by highly respected INGOs, UN agencies, governments and private contractors with a track record of success and efficiency. And many of them had received a waiver from the freeze because the State Department previously identified their work as essential and lifesaving.

Here is a case of throwing the baby with the bathwater - millions of children and women cruelly condemned to become sick, malnourished and dying to satisfy the ego and hubris of the world's richest man and a would-be Master of the Universe.

There goes the mirage of "waiver" for essential and lifesaving projects, and the credibility of Trump/Rubio's reasonable-sounding assurances.
