Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.
This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.

3. How bad this #flu season will be in the US is still anyone's guess. But if #H3N2 viruses play a big role the season could be tough; the H3 component in flu shots may not protect well against subclade K viruses.
Currently H3 is the major player & subclade K makes up more than 1/2 of H3 viruses.

1988 is also the first year the government marked World AIDS Day. They have done so every year until now.
This refusal is not just symbolic. The admin is unraveling our country's global HIV response, on top of the heavy damage already done to our foreign aid and all public health programs.
