Estimated number of people who could die within a year without American foreign aid for:

H.I.V. prevention and treatment: 1,650,000

Vaccines: 500,000

Food aid: 550,000

Malaria prevention: 290,000

Tuberculosis prevention: 310,000
Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)

Aust Assoc University Professors says
-traditionally the title of Professor indicated academic scholarship i.e, PhD, teaching & research excellence & international stature
-Now title is misleading because non-academics bestowed titles as Prof & positioned as academic experts
