You can find articles[1][2] with direct reporting on the deaths. I don't know what the actual numbers are, but it's a verifiable fact that many people have died because previously-available health care, medicine, food, etc. were suddenly (and illegally) cut off by DOGE. There's a correct way to taper a life-saving program instead of yanking out the IV and washing your hands of the consequences, but that imbecile Musk either didn't care to learn or simply didn't care. Minimizing human suffering was not even a consideration.
