re: #281 Aceofwhat?

Would you have called it a “screw the poor” move?

Sure, if the effect was to reduce immunization and treatment for the poor. You realize the ISDA is not talking about this particular program, right? It’s talking about a different budget than the one for immunization and respiratory diseases? It’s talking about a 100 million cut to the whole Infectious Diseases program, and doesn’t break that number down further than that.

There are other things that are directly objectionable,

Like this:

a 21 percent reduction in grants for the Section 317 immunization program compared to the current fiscal year, in light of the end of additional funding provided though the stimulus bill; these cuts will reduce access to immunizations, which save lives and millions of dollars in preventable medical spending

This a stupid fuck the poor moment.
