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.
These supplies include more than 26 million condoms, 2 million doses of injectable birth control, millions of packages of oral birth control, hundreds of thousands of implantable contraceptive devices, and over 50,000 vials of a drug that prevents HIV contraction, the Post reports.
wow. Given what I hear about the US I expected 12 million $ worth of medecine to be like, five or six pills. That’s going to cause a lot of avoidable suffering
the amount of efficiency is quite impressive if the idea is to just destroy everything as quickly as possible

If you think this orange fuck is doing anything with our consent, you’ve not been paying attention.
You know any MAGA trash? Have you silenced them? Are they afraid to leave their homes?
No? Then you’ve fucking failed. You consent.
I bet you ask rape survivors why they were dressed like that, too. Go fuck yourself, you victim-blaming piece of shit.
Coward.
What a shit comment. Blaming a rape victim shifts guilt onto someone with zero control over the crime. Examining how a privileged poplulation enables fascism is about collective choices and the failure of those who have held power for decades- not shifting the blame to the powerless. Conflating the two is lazy and self-serving.
Gotta love keyboard warriors calling everyone else cowards for not doing enough violence. No real theory of change, just “hurt them until they’re scared of you” like conservatives don’t already believe that we’re killing them for dumb, made-up reasons.
It doesn’t matter what they believe.
I’ve gotten chased out of my profession and have no social life because I’m a queer man surrounded by MAGA. There are certain parts of my state that I can’t travel to any more, because if the wrong cop pulled me over I’d be another dead removed in a ditch.
I’m sorry I’m not fighting hard enough for you.
Your country, not mine. You’re not fighting hard enough for you.
Fox News has already spent decades convincing MAGA that we’re out for their blood, and made them terrified of everything outside their home. What were you hoping to do that wouldn’t lead conservative media coverage as examples of what they’ve been telling their audience to be scared of?
