Is the coming HIV pandemic inevitable?

RFK Jr.'s cutbacks may leave us near-defenseless against HIV spread, but moments in the past show how we can stop the seemingly inevitable.

Any minute now #Putin is going to quietly, (via backchannel) tell bigmouth #Trump that Russia will start openly and actively help, supply arms/missiles and send "advisors" to #Iran.
UNLESS... UNLESS...

Reality is going to hit Trump soon...
