Trump administration to end funding for child vaccines in poorest nations
The administration also plans to scale back efforts to combat malaria, according to documents, but would continue grants for drugs that treat HIV and tuberculosis.
The Trump administration intends to terminate the United States’ financial support for #Gavi,
the organization that has helped purchase critical #vaccines for children in developing countries, saving millions of lives over the past quarter century,
and to significantly scale back support for efforts to combat #malaria, one of the biggest killers globally.
The administration has decided to continue some key grants for medications to treat H.I.V. and tuberculosis, and food aid to countries facing civil wars and natural disasters.
Those decisions are included in a 281-page spreadsheet that the United States Agency for International Development sent to Congress Monday night, listing the foreign aid projects it plans to continue and to terminate.

Abrupt cessation of US aid funding has plunged programs to fight #malaria, #TB, & #HIV into a crisis, #WHO said Monday. Director-General Tedros said while the US has the right to decide how to spend its money, if it is to withdraw it should do so in a planned way. https://www.statnews.com/2025/03/17/world-health-organization-director-says-us-must-manage-usaid-cuts-responsibly/

From the article: "The Washington-based Malaria No More says new modeling shows that just a year of disruption in the malaria-control supply chain would lead to nearly 15 million additional cases and 107,000 additional deaths globally. It has urged the Trump administration to “restart these life-saving programs before outbreaks get out of hand.”"

If you were hoping to get resources on #malaria, unfortunately, PMI.gov is offline now:
Scientists are developing a "toxic male technique" to control disease-carrying insects and agricultural pests. Genetically engineered male insects would produce venomous semen, killing females after they mate.

One should never believe a press release, but if you believe this press release there may be some really good news in the future. Even if this has no mention of costs or prices of any kind
