Brian Mast's claim about "extremely expensive #HIV medication" is false, first line regimens are typically less than $45 per year. Pete Marocco's claims about advocacy funding just as inaccurate. Politico could've fact-checked both, but didn't.

βabout a million additional people will die terrible deaths every single year for the foreseeable future if PEPFAR doesnβt get reversedβ

99% of new medicines developed by the pharmaceutical industry depend on NIH research jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
βWhatβs transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.β Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action.

NEW: USAID's acting asst administrator, Nick Enrich, has been placed on leave after sharing a memo detailing how political appointees have "wholly prevented" staff from continuing life saving aid.
"Eliminating PEPFAR would lead to 601,000 HIV-related deaths and 565,000 new HIV infections in South Africa alone over 10 years. It would also increase population-level health care expenditure by $1.7 billion..." @linda-gailb.bsky.social writes in @statnews.com.
