    Do you have an actual rebuttal to the data?

        Do you have any evidence or analysis of this beyond your comment calling it fake? Do you honestly believe getting rid of disease prevention and treatment for children will not result in a single death? Do you have any evidence it was a "slush fund" and not actually being used for disease prevention and treatment? Do you honestly believe that people upset over children dying are lying, and instead are all upset that they are no longer able to access a supposed "slush fund"?

        I've started donating to TB-aid organizations. But more than just money is gone. US-led organizations formed logistical backbones of these systems. Wads of cash won't replace the networks of people and things that are able to productively bring TB meds to people who need it.

    Saying something is false does not magically make it so.

        Data analysis is not a "random prediction". Calling it that does not make it so.
