US to cut PEPFAR HIV funding to South Africa, cites Afrikaner protection claims

this will get a hundredth as much attention as a reflecting pool or a squabble with Meloni, but hundreds of thousands will die, because of Trump and Rubio’s racism www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is obviously terrible on a humanitarian level but it's also yet another example of our shooting ourselves in the foot over and over again. This is how you get new global epidemics and new strains of disease. Here's a snippet from hiv.gov, which I suspect will not be up for much longer.

"Donald Trump’s administration plans to permanently end funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, in South Africa." The Death Cult continues.

Obv want a better source than Daily Caller, but according to this the U.S. is pulling PEPFAR from South Africa b/c the country isn’t doing enough to counter the mythical race war dailycaller.com/2026/06/18/e...

This regime doesn't care if people die of AIDS. PEPFAR is hugely important in preventing HIV transmission. I cannot believe the utter cruelty - this is so much worse than the Reagan era when HIV first appeared.

"The United States has decided to initiate a phased drawdown of PEPFAR programming in South Africa following South Africa’s failure to make demonstrable progress on policy requests by the administration,” the State Department official told Semafor." Translation: 1/2

PEPFAR is a legitimate bright spot in the otherwise disastrous Bush 43 presidency. So of course Trump destroys it, no doubt at the behest of the Nazi trillionaire not content with the death toll his destruction of USAID will cause.

The end of PEPFAR does not come as a surprise, Mr. Mohale said. South Africa has been working on plan to pay for its H.I.V. program with its own money since the cancellation of U.S.A.I.D. grants last year, he said. While PEPFAR was a big contributor to South Africa’s H.I.V. program, (cont.)
