The Boston Business Journal reports that John Snow, Inc., which runs public-health programs in both the US and around the world, has laid off roughly 1,100 employees because the Musk administration has ended USAID funding, including money it had been getting.

At the very least, explain your credentials in public health that lead you to this determination.
But you can't because you aren't a human ... or you don't have any cognitive function.
Just showing a propublica citation that the place exists and gets money to do stuff is not enough. It looks like around 1% goes to things other than expenses, even from your own citation.

Another couple of underreported entries in the cavalcade of health care & health support deterioration in this country (besides the Trump/Musk attacks on programs like this, besides hospital closures (or threats of closure) like Carney) are the prospective closing of two state-run specialty facilities, partially as a cost-cutting measure.
Has anyone here been following these?
Pappas Hospital in Canton (rehab & other services for children & young adults) might get folded into Western Massachusetts Hospital.
Pocasset Mental Health is the only state-run mental health facility on the Cape. Outpatient & inpatient services. It only has 16 inpatient beds, but that is over a third of the total available on the Cape.
In addition to lost or relocated services, these moves could put half of the staffs out of work.
It sounds like the news has only been out for 2-3 weeks. As word spreads, people are taking interest and pushback is starting to happen. It sounds as if the Governor is listening to the feedback, but time will tell.

There's still facts, data and reports on the Web that they haven't scrubbed. I found a USAID Inspector Gen Report of 10/27/23 where an independent auditor found:
"Tichenor concluded that JSI prepared its FYs 2018 and 2019 ICSs in accordance with applicable Government acquisition regulations of the FAR, the AIDAR, and the DSSR regarding accuracy, allowability, allocability, and reasonableness of incurred costs and are appropriate for the contracting officer’s use in executing the finalization of allowable costs and indirect rates for the fiscal year with the JSI. Tichenor did not identify any questioned costs."
But trolls be trollin'. Download stuff while you still can, were about to get a lot of "alternative facts". Especially about public health!
