Simple maths demonstrates that Trump’s USAID cuts will lead to more deaths than the Holocaust. I wish I could find the blog post that ran the numbers but I can’t.

Nice one.
Estimates vary but USAID saved roughly 90 million lives over the last 2 decades so going without that money over the next decade could mean 45 million die. Or ’only’ 22.5 million if USAID funding is restored to normal levels in 5 years.
Whatever the exact numbers, it’s pretty easy to blow past the 6 million mark…
