Bush, who will be accompanied by former first lady Laura Bush, will be joined on stage Feb. 24 by his former secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, and the former president of Tanzania, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, for a conversation at a Bush Institute event, PEPFAR at 20, commemorating the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. 2008. The current secretary of state, Antony Blinken, will speak virtually to honor PEPFAR's anniversary.
PEPFAR, which is overseen by the State Department, represents the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in the world. To date, PEPFAR funding has totaled over $100 billion. The says that PEPFAR has saved 25 million lives by providing antiretroviral treatment to some 20 million people, enabling 5.5 million babies to be born HIV-free and providing HIV testing and prevention services.
In his State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Joe Biden hailed Bush for his work on PEPFAR. "He undertook a bipartisan effort through PEPFAR to transform the global fight against H.I.V./AIDS," Mr. Biden said."It's been a huge success. He thought big, he thought large. He moved." He went on to express the hope that that what worked for PEPFAR could be replicated:"I believe we can do the same thing with cancer."
One of first lady Jill Biden's guests for the address was U2 lead singer Bono, a longtime AIDS activist who is credited with helping build support for PEPFAR, working with Democrats and Republicans in Congress and famously winning over religious conservative. The bill first passed with broad bipartisan support in 2003 and has been reauthorized three times.
Witness, CBS News, once again, complicit in the perpetuation of ignorance, to push a government narrative that does nothing to further the freedoms of American people, & helps further consolidate government power & oppression upon us birds of a feather flock together
I’ll watch Democrats who are willing to take a shot no matter what because the government said so act like they didn’t hate this dude the entire time he was in office & make 100,000 excuses in this comment section on his behalf as if he didn’t accentuate government overreach
Not being a democrat or republican, but still being interested in American politics is an awkward perch to sit upon because I watch this comment section and see Republicans who previously love this guy talk about how they lost their legs in Iraq
Does anybody else think that whatever it is he wrote about aids while he was president will give government overwhelming power to lock us down and force us to take some kind of aids 💉or worse & the news but 110% back it in the CDC will pretend it’s authorization was in question
Anything during the Bush administration is most likely not helping your average American citizen, & probably going directly against the constitution & check out msm praise for George W. Bush opposed to bring up his lie about weapons of mass destruction go figure Propaganda
...not to point fingers here, but any Republican who supported the Biden campaign should be expelled from the Republican Party forever!
Yea because everyone has AIDS now
Bush was probably fearful that he might go down on the Hard Bone at any minute.
Good to know!
I want this sick Son-A-Bitch put in prison!!!!! Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would be like having icing on the cake !!!!!!
