What public health experts say about Trump is true or false?

Public health experts have warned that the Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) could have dire impacts on the spread of disease around the world.

The organization (USAID) had an estimated $35.4 billion in obligations, with most of the funding ($12.3 billion) dedicated to Sub-Saharan Africa.

Since when has the US Government been tasked by the American people to implement a liberal progressive agenda to wipe out diseases in Africa?

Since when? Since at least 1966 when USAID joined the effort to eradicate smallpox.

to wipe out diseases in Africa?

Did you really think "African" diseases stayed in Africa?

Didn't you know that we're all a 24-36 hour trip from the most remote villages in Africa? Didn't you know that we've fought multiple Ebola outbreaks in Africa? Didn't you realize that fighting hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola (80% to 90% fatality rate) in Africa is far better for Americans than fighting them here?

Didn't you know that SARS and MERS (10% to 35% fatality rate) spread even more easily than Ebola? Would you really rather wait for diseases like those to reach US shores before we begin to fight them??

Have you never realized that this system has been protecting you from pandemics FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE???

There are eight candidates for the next likely pandemic. Don't you think we should be studying them as we help contain them OFFSHORE???
