The life-saving drugs and contraceptives have been sitting in warehouses since January
Roughly $12 million worth of HIV-prevention drugs and contraceptives purchased by the U.S. Agency for International Development will likely be destroyed after President Donald Trump dismantled the organization, according to a report.
These drugs have been sitting in distribution centers in Belgium and the UAE since January, when Trump ended the agency’s spending, The Washington Post reported. Now, negotiators have been instructed to sell the drugs or else they’ll be thrown out, according to the outlet.
“The mandate that [the USAID negotiator] has been given is ‘get us money for it, and if you can’t do that, we’re just going to trash it,’” someone with knowledge of the situation told the Post.
You think calling out people suffering this first hand makes you brave? Grow the hell up. The fact you can sit on your cushy chair and lecture persecuted people for “not doing enough” is the ultimate statement of arrogant privilege. Do you want to do something meaningful about this situation? Stop beating down the people just trying to survive another day. Get a clue. What have YOU done for the cause besides bitch and moan? Your literally aiding Fascism by beating down the ones trying to organize and fight it.
