"Haven't heard of any children dying since the cuts."
Just because YOU haven't heard of any children dying since the cuts" does not mean that a lot of children are not dying.
Estimated Deaths: A November 2025 report cited modelling by Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, indicating that the dismantling of USAID had already caused the deaths of approximately 600,000 people, with two-thirds of them children (approximately 400,000).
ImpactCounter Data: Another tracker, ImpactCounter, reported by January 2026 that 757,314 people had died due to the funding cuts, with the majority being children.
Cause of Deaths: The cuts caused widespread suspension of service, resulting in increased child deaths from diarrhea, pneumonia, and malnutrition. Specific cuts to nutrition, food programs, and HIV/AIDS supplies (PEPFAR) were significant drivers of this mortality.
Long-term Projections: Research published in The Lancet in July 2025 projected that if the funding cuts continued, more than 4.5 million children under the age of 5 could die by 2030.
GFY with your hateful self imposed ignorance.
