"There was also not enough time for scientists to properly shut down the laboratories before they were locked out from their email systems and the building, two CDC officials said, with equipment still running and hazardous materials left unattended."

A decline in funding for #HIV response could result in millions of preventable new infections and deaths, with up to 120 000 of these deaths affecting children according to World Health Organization #OMS #WHO
International cooperation is essential to sustain the advances we’ve made in HIV prevention, testing and treatment.

"Last week the U.S. government terminated at least 68 grants to 46 institutions totaling nearly $40 million when awarded, according to a government website. Some of the grant money has already been spent, but at least $1.36 million in future support was yanked as a result of the cuts, a significant undercount because estimates were available for less than a third of grants."

AP News · Trump administration cancels at least 68 grants focused on LGBTQ health questionsBy Carla Johnson

The deletions began shortly after #Trump took office. #CDC web pages on #vaccines, #HIV prevention, & #ReproductiveHealth went missing. Findings on #BirdFlu transmission vanished minutes after they appeared. The #Census Bureau’s public repository went offline, then returned w/o certain directories of geographic info. The #DOJ expunged the #Jan6th #insurrection from its site, & whitehouse.gov took down an explainer page about the #Constitution.

The New Yorker · The Volunteer Data Hoarders Resisting Trump’s PurgeBy Julian Lucas
Continued thread

In the weeks since #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder dismantling the #USAID, Andrea Minaj Casablanca’s phone has been inundated w/desperate pleas for help.

A counselor who works w/nonprofits catering to members of #Uganda’s embattled #LGBTQ population, she has fielded urgent requests from people seeking #HIV #medications, #therapy sessions & #shelter in the wake of Trump’s EO. Casablanca responded to these calls while grappling w/her own crisis: being fired from a job that was funded by USAID.

Elisha Dunn-Georgiou, president & CEO of the #GlobalHealth Council, said the situation is "horrible." She said that even some of the programs that had received waivers for being "life saving humanitarian assistance”–including ones that provided #HIV medications–have now received termination notices.

"This is a global health #massacre," said one #humanitarian ofcl, who isn't authorized to speak on behalf of their org.
