15,000 people have already died due to Trump's cuts to USAID.
SINCE 2003, AIDS relief through USAID had already saved >25 million lives. Trump's cuts to the agency could lead to hundreds of thousands, or even millions, more deaths in the next few years.
Measles has a mortality rate in poor countries of 3-5%. Without USAID, vaccinations in those countries will likely decline, increasing deaths, as well.
