Bringing IRS into xenophobic fold is another bone-headed USG move. It guarantees immigrants will contribute less to our shrinking tax base. While corporations get massive tax breaks, fewer U.S. residents will foot the bill for dwindling services & massive military spending.

Thx, @SpotlightNSP , for explaining the global impact of 1️⃣example of USG’s pettiness & short-sightedness. Every advance in TB & HIV care relies on research in S. Africa. Cutting foreign aid funds kills people today. Cutting research funds kills people for generations.
MUST READ | The sudden and severe US cuts to grants from the world’s largest health research funder threaten to unravel the medical research landscape in SA. Will the government turn this crisis into an opportunity for renewal? @marcuslowx.

Every single innovation in TB treatment, diagnosis, prevention over the last few decades has relied on research in S. Africa. If your neighbor in KS, TX, WY, etc gets TB, you are at risk bcuz of this latest petty move. It makes America less, not #MoreSecure.
The threat hanging over South African HIV/AIDS researchers for the past week has become a reality: The Trump administration has begun terminating or putting on hold their grants from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Wait, what? Republican leadership advises.not meeting w/constituents to avoid embarrassment? Better advice to achieve the desired outcome: don’t abdicate responsibility for governing in their constituents best interest & don’t capitulate to a bully!

USAID’s “tagline was “From the American people,” and perhaps the American people didn’t understand that it was also for them.” This will be a fatal misunderstanding.
“Deadly diseases don’t bother with borders; no wall will keep them out. If America stays the course, 'Something went wrong' will become the epitaph of a great country, one that once led the world in global health preparedness,” @Craig_A_Spencer writes:

Thanks to those.dedicated to protecting the US & the world from the deadliest infectious disease, TB. W/the destruction sowed by the White House, we will need many more such champions. Support them to do their work.

In others, TB lurks for decades & lunges later to kill its unsuspecting hosts. Nearly all research done to prevent, treat, & diagnose TB in the last 20 years has been conducted in S. Africa. These advances are also threatened today.

like food, housing, safety, education, & fruits of scientific.advancement. Reversals in all these services are also assured by the broligarchy, blazing new deadly paths for.the “perfect predator”.now & later. In some, TB bacteria attack & kill immediately after infection. 🧵2/3.

In @TheAtlantic John Green lays bare how decimation of foreign aid assures us of a world w/more TB. It assures us of more “stupid deaths”, deaths per @PIH ’s late Paul.Farmer that can be averted w/equity in access to medical care & basic rights:🧵1/3.

A supercharge of empathy—& funding—can make enormous strides in the fight against TB. @johngreen says it best in the @nytimes :
No major progress in tackling #tuberculosis, as highlighted in the @WHO Global TB Report released today. #TB emerges again as the #1 infectious disease killer. 🧵👇.
