Thank you for writing this very much needed thread, @d_krugman! @TheLancet should not have published this article in this form. Or should at least have published an editorial at the same time, to reframe it in a way that takes seriously the agency of people in the global South.
I know nuance breaks our brains these days but we need to be serious about this "forecast." Africa will not simply roll over and die without USAID. All this shock-inducing statistical narrative does is reinforce the very American-centrism that led to this mess in the first place
