#12The target isn't the people, the target is science. It is becoming clear that the intent is to govern through fear.
They're targeting every institution or source of authority that isn't overtly aligned with the party. Academia, science, media, etc.
So far it seems to be working, unfortunately.

#13What's more depressing is this was completely predictable, totally avoidable, but half the country welcomed this wave of oppression with open arms.

#14This 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.
Maybe it was unintentional but the Long COVID pulse survey page disappeared: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/pulse/long-covid.htm (but explanations about long COVID are still available)
The page I used to look for mask efficiency disappeared too (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7106e1.htm ) but the CDC website still discusses masks so it does not seem to be intentional: https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/prevention/masks.htm...

#16I recall several heads of the CDC auditioning, their answers to representatives would indicate it is/was (mis) information that undoubtedly the new administration would make sure to "purge".
It is becoming very difficult to distinguish justice from crooks in the U.S.
The CDC had lost all credibility anyway, dismantling it wouldn't be a bad idea, maybe not all of it, so that's what we are (not) seeing there.

Nope, but you've just made it clear you're susceptible to propaganda.

#19If people really cared they would have stored copies of this data, not just relied on a single source.

#20This is part of a broader rolling catastrophe. Musk is evidently seizing control of the Office of Personnel Management https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2025-01-31/exclus... Nasa took down their applied sciences page and is evidently scrubbing the data https://www.reddit.com/r/gis/comments/1icqchv/why_is_the_nas... ( https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/ ) Lots of other data sets are disappearing too: https://ma…

Suddenly I feel out of the loop when it comes to US politics, how come Musk is suddenly seemingly seizing control of parts of the US government? I don't recall him being on any ballots or anything?
