CDC Purge of Health Information and Data
Today the CDC has removed several pages related to health and disease prevention. I have the PDFs of what was removed, here they are.
MedPage Today just broke the story today (January 31st, 2025) that the CDC is removing webpages with data and health information.
The webpages removed so far contain information about:
which food is healthy to eat while pregnant
MPOX vaccines
HIV/AIDS prevention and safe sex
Health Disparities Among LGBTQ Youth
… among others.
Considering we have another Clade 1b (more deadly and more contagious MPOX) outbreak in Africa right now, a case was just found in Europe, and the MPOX vaccine was recently show to loose efficacy, we now have an unprotected population now with less information.
The CDC’s web resource library is absolutely massive and serves as resource for nearly every scientist and physician in the United States and beyond. I have checked with pages I typically use for SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory virus infection information are still online but have not been updated since mid-January.
Here is a link to the MedPage Today story, you can see that they have obtained snapshots of the old pages using the “Wayback” machine.
Below are images of each page that was removed and the information they contained.
It’s a digital book burning.
WTF?!?! They should not be purging data and resources. Those were researched and websites created with US Citizens tax dollars and should be publicly accessible to us as that’s valuable information for women. Ugh. I hate the timeline we’re on watching the country go backwards and fascism take over.
