All of the important programs have temporary restraining orders. That's actually the standard the judge applies, "is there a possibility of irreparable harm?" (e.g. lives lost). It's not perfect but no system is.

Hundreds of people now have HIV which could have been prevented from USAID. This number is increasing.
These people also can't afford AIDS medications.
This is just one of many examples.
Your standard given here already isn't being held to in the most basic, obvious ways.

USAID saved thousands and thousands of lives every year. And that is a massive understatement of the suffering and misery USAID prevented.
It’s gone. People are dying because it’s gone.

Having a temporary restraining order isn't the same as complying with it. Multiple judges have ruled that they are not.
It's a very strong claim to say no lives depend on any federal funding.
