The Trump administration has delayed and may cancel roughly $140 million in grants to fund fentanyl overdose response efforts, according to four staff members with close knowledge of the process at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The staffers shared detailed information with NPR about the funding disruption and potential cuts on the condition of anonymity, saying they don’t have permission to speak publicly about their concerns and feared retribution from the Trump administration if identified.
If the fentanyl users die by overdose due to lack of funding to properly respond to the overdoses then the US saves money and reduces the number of fentanyl users. It’s all win-win! /s
There are so many people who actually think that way.
