I had once argued that former-president George W. Bush should get some credit for his commitment to fighting AIDS in Africa.
Here is a proof of his accomplishment. Former President George W. Bush’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has saved 1.1 million lives in Africa, according to the Washington Times.
The study by two Stanford University doctors showed the treatment part of PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which involves making drug treatment available to about 2 million people, has shown solid success while the prevention efforts under the program have not yet produced the same concrete results. The study results were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine………Presidential scholars have said PEPFAR is one of the best chances Mr. Bush has to rehabilitate his legacy, and the study’s results are a strong showing for the still-young program.
Interestingly, this news was highlighted only in the Washington Times among traditional media although some on-line media dealt with the story.
Indeed, the Washington Times was very favorable toward this story
with a VERY NICE photo of Bush. The image indeed reinforces the message.
