""It would be irresponsible, almost jarring, for us to take off and not acknowledge the traumatic rise in political violence that we've seen in our country," Clinton said about the shooting deaths of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. "We're pulling further and further away from one another.""
"The conference's biggest announcement on Wednesday was a partnership between the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Unitaid, and Wits RHI that will provide Gilead Sciences' HIV prevention drug lenacapavir in 120 low- and middle-income countries for $40 a person each year, starting in 2027. The Gates Foundation announced a similar agreement with the Indian manufacturer Hetero Labs. Clinton said the move was partially in response to foreign aid cuts from President Donald Trump's administration, which he said could lead to more than 6 million more HIV cases and potentially 4 million more deaths in Africa."
Political violence has risen, including shootings of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Domestic and foreign assistance programs face dismantling, alongside a war on science and public health, cuts to education, trade wars, and threats to freedom of speech. A partnership among the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Unitaid, and Wits RHI will provide Gilead Sciences' HIV prevention drug lenacapavir in 120 low- and middle-income countries for $40 per person annually beginning in 2027. The Gates Foundation arranged a similar deal with Hetero Labs. The agreements aim to offset foreign aid cuts that could cause millions more HIV cases and deaths in Africa. Working groups were formed to address the outlined issues.
