      The 600,000 estimate is how many actual recorded deaths THIS YEAR can be attributed to reduction in USAID.

      So more than 600,000 people have died, only 600,000 can be blamed on MAGA.

      The other estimates are forecasts, but the 600,000 number is to date. Says so in both the headline and the article.
