The Diseases Are Coming
#ElonMusk’s slash-&-burn govt tear will have lasting effects on #GlobalHealth.
At #Trump’s 1st Cabinet meeting, last month, #Musk …admitted that #DOGE had “accidentally canceled very briefly” #Ebola-prevention programs. After a…chuckle, he claimed that the oversight had been swiftly corrected. But it wasn’t. The truth is far more disturbing—this admin…has actively dismantled the infrastructure…to detect & confront deadly pathogens.

Clinical Update on measles and more 07/08. March 2025, TWiV 1198
Fins ara 14 casos (són més, segur) i 2 morts (jo comptaria com a poc 4) en el brot de #Ebola a #Uganda. Clarament hi ha cadenes de transmissió no controlades. Dos focus de casos però mateixes seqüències víriques. O doble salt zoonotic (mooolt improbable) o casos humans encoberts, no traçats, que han fet de nexe d'unió entre ambdós clusters. Lluny d'acabar-se, encara.

The #Ebola outbreak in #Uganda has worsened significantly, & the country’s ability to contain the spread has been severely weakened by #Trump’s freeze on #ForeignAid, American ofcls said this week.
The ofcls, representing a variety of #health & #security agencies, made the assessment during a meeting w/ #US Embassy staff in #Kampala, the Ugandan capital, on Wed. An audio recording of the session was obtained by The NYT.

The New York Times · As Ebola Spreads in Uganda, Trump Aid Freeze Hinders Effort to Contain It, U.S. Officials Fear
"A 4-year-old child became the second person to die of Ebola in Uganda, the World Health Organization said Saturday
The WHO has given Uganda at least $3 million to support its Ebola response, but there have been concerns about adequate funding in the wake of the U.S. administration’s decision to terminate 60% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts."

AP News · A child dies of Ebola in Uganda, raising concern over disease surveillance in outbreak
#USAID memo details impact of its dismantling:
up to 18 million additional cases of #malaria per year, and as many as 166,000 additional deaths;
200,000 children paralyzed with #polio annually, and hundreds of millions of infections;
one million children not treated for severe acute #malnutrition which is often fatal, each year;
more than 28,000 new cases of such infectious diseases as #ebola and Marburg every year.
The New York Times · Read the Memo
A senior official with the U.S. Agency for International Development warned in an email that Trump's dismantling of the agency will result in unnecessary deaths, only to write soon after saying he'd been placed on leave. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/03/world/politics/usaid-official-deaths-trump-aid/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #ebola #doge #usaid #elonmusk

USAID Was Promised Emergency Waivers for Ebola & AIDS. They’re Not Working
#ElonMusk claims he mistakenly fired Ebola prevention workers, then quickly fixed the error. But #Ebola programs are still in tatters, along w/other livesaving efforts like #AIDS treatments for #children.

Claims that Uganda's #Ebola outbreak was under control appear to have been premature. This child's family sought care in 3 hospitals before he died. So more cases will likely follow. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/health/ebola-elon-musk-doge.html?partner=slack&smid=sl-share

Elon Musk Called Out for Glaring Lie in His Weak DOGE Defense

“Bottom line: Elon’s vendetta against #USAID and the federal workforce is shredding all of the systems that the #USG has built up to protect the #US homeland against global #outbreak risks,” Konyndyk added. “Scrambling to recall a few staff & issue some belated funding is just window dressing”

Musk said Ebola prevention funding was restored. USAID officials reportedly say otherwise.

Are Musk's many missteps the result of rampant #incompetence, or is #Musk engaged in mis- & #disinformation campaigns intended to deceive the public?"
