It’s terrifying that data US taxpayers paid for, collected and analyzed in the name of public health, can be removed on a whim. While there are a lot of efforts to archive said data, it would still make it unavailable to Americans who are not tech savvy. Unfortunately, that seems to be the idea, I think.

This is part of a broader rolling catastrophe. Musk is evidently seizing control of the Office of Personnel Management

Nasa took down their applied sciences page and is evidently scrubbing the data

Lots of other data sets are disappearing too:

There is active discussion of this at https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/

This does not only affect the obvious ideological targets of purging any mention of DEI or gender. One section that is missing seems to be the official vaccine recommendations.

Go to the ACIP page (https://www.cdc.gov/acip/) and click on the "Vaccine-specific recommendations".

Other affected topics are HIV prevention, birth control/contraception, domestic violence and probably many more.
