Why do you support DOGE cutting HIV programs?

The dismantling of USAID by DOGE in early 2025 caused immediate and severe disruptions to HIV/AIDS care in Africa, halting antiretroviral treatment, prevention programs, and testing. Modeling estimates suggest 159,000 adult deaths in sub-Saharan Africa resulted from the initial 90-day aid suspension, while a Lancet study projects over 4.5 million child deaths by 2030 if cuts continue.
Key impacts include:
Treatment Collapse: Clinics in countries like Nigeria, Mozambique, and South Africa ran out of medication, forcing patients to ration drugs or abandon treatment. In Mozambique, antiretroviral treatment access dropped by a quarter.
Prevention Failure: Programs for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and condom distribution were largely halted, with PrEP users in Botswana dropping by 50% and in Mozambique falling from 30,000 to 19,000.
Displacement Crisis: In northeastern Nigeria, aid cuts left displaced populations without screening or care, contributing to new HIV infections and deaths among vulnerable groups, including children.
While Elon Musk and the administration have claimed "zero" deaths resulted from the cuts, public health officials, researchers, and on-the-ground reports from organizations like MSF and PEPFAR partners document widespread mortality, service interruptions, and the collapse of health infrastructure that previously relied on U.S. funding for up to 80% of HIV and malaria responses

This is actually quite the tell.
Republicans don't believe in the Meritocracy.
Republicans believe in Nepotism.
