Abandoned in the Middle of Clinical Trials, Because of a Trump Order
The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.
- brutal. What a fucking shitshowIanbolton
- How long before America feels the pain of this train wreck?_niko
- Yes, it's awful USAID is dead. What will we do without $1.5 million spent to advance DEI in Serbia workplaces, $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland...MondoMorphic
- ...or hundreds of millions of dollars ultimately funding heroin production in Afghanistan. What will the world do?MondoMorphic
- The previous administration was corrupt to the core and corrupt BS like USAID is now over.MondoMorphic
- Hundreds of millions funding heroin production? Source?yuekit
- The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) works with USAID on promoting conflict resolution and peace-building efforts in Afghanistan.IRNlun6

- Just heard the term "hostage puppy." Fitting for these programs. You’d be a monster to stop conflict resolution and peace-build. Good cover for doing dirty shitIRNlun6
- You're willfully ignorant, Mondo.colab
- And from that you got "hundreds of millions funding heroin production" IRNlun6?yuekit
- This is my #1 issue with Trump supporters before you get to any policy disagreement...you guys seem to have lost the ability to think straight.yuekit
- Does an organization that US AID sometimes worked with writing that article mean US AID was engaged in drug trafficking?yuekit
- https://pbs.twimg.co…IRNlun6
- It’s public information: https://www.usip.org…IRNlun6
- Do you want them to spell out their corruption for you?IRNlun6
- Just over $111 million in a two year span and lobby for heroin production in Afghanistan.IRNlun6
- Did you read the article?
https://www.usip.org…yuekit - It's just an opinion column from one person talking about how the Taliban's drug policy could have unintended consequences.yuekit
- Absolutely wild mental leap you're making there to say therefore they are involved in the drug trade themselves and also USAID is.yuekit
- Here’s the CIAs involvement in Afghan heroin production in 1979 https://www.ojp.gov/…IRNlun6
- For peace keeper, USIP sure writes a lot about heroin production. https://www.usip.org…IRNlun6
- Don’t make it illegal like the Taliban does, it will hurt the Afghans. Don’t make it legal in a regulatory framework, it’s hurts the Afghans.IRNlun6
- Meanwhile you can find dozens and dozens of articles on growing heroin use in Afghanistan. https://www.reuters.…IRNlun6
- Thats from 2007. It’s common knowledge heroin production exploded in that country when the US invaded.IRNlun6
- Again, you think they’re just going to spell out the corruption for you? These aid organizations are front groups. And I’m called naive.IRNlun6
- https://search.usa.g…IRNlun6
- You could spend months on the above link reading about failed US projects that facilitated heroin production.IRNlun6
- What does the Government Accountability Office know anyway. Haven’t they read the NYTimes? https://pbs.twimg.co…IRNlun6
- OK great but why do you think finding vaguely related stuff means this one specific thing is true?yuekit
- Correlation is not causation. Heroin production probably increased after the US invasion simply because the Taliban wasn't in power anymore,yuekit
- The USA seems to have turned a blind eye to it because their goal was fighting terrorism. That doesn't mean the USA itself is involved in drug trafficking.yuekit
- And you haven't come up with any evidence at all that USAID or the Institute of Peace are involved. It's not even clear how many people these groups have in theyuekit
- country anyway. It's also strange that you aren't willing to consider the possibility that the author genuinely thinks the Taliban's policy is a bad idea.yuekit
