I had to look it up— Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance helps vaccinate more than half the world’s children against deadly and debilitating infectious diseases.
AS PART OF ITS MISSION TO SAVE LIVES AND PROTECT PEOPLE’S HEALTH BY INCREASING EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF VACCINES, GAVI HAS HELPED VACCINATE MORE THAN 1.1 BILLION CHILDREN IN 78 LOWER-INCOME COUNTRIES, PREVENTING MORE THAN 18.8 MILLION FUTURE DEATHS.
I’m interested in hearing more details but it’s apparently part of USAID. Trump’s administration has decided to continue just 898 USAID awards and to end 5,341, the letter says, with the remaining programs totaling $78bn in worth.
It’s stunning how fast and loose the government has been with our checkbook! 6,000+ monetary awards that most of have never heard of. What a humongous job the admin has had in determining what is and isn’t valid.
Ok but you can’t compare 2020 to 2025 without acknowledging that USAID has over 6,000 programs, of which GAVI was one. All needed to be reviewed carefully and I know there is no way that was done in 60 days or less. It has taken years to ensure that they could pull funding legally and ethically. I’m not even going to mention that he made that statement during COVID where he would have been destroyed had he not given money at that time. It had to take time to investigate and ensure it was done properly and not pulled on here say.
The money that was given to GAVI was redirected from the WHO, it was not a new USAID program that he initiated - DJT just had to do nothing in fact and would not have been 'destroyed'

DJT funneled funding directly to GAVI in 2020

Ok why do you think he did that?
