… content from the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which includes data from a national survey, has disappeared; so have parts of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s Social Vulnerability Index and the Environmental Justice Index. The CDC’s landing page for HIV data has also vanished. And the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis, is down.

      I view myself as pretty level headed and skeptical of conspiratorial thinking, but I’m beginning to wonder the same thing.

        Project 2025 was no conspiracy theory, it’s their literal playbook.

          I’m specifically talking about the DoS/hacks/lawsuits against the Internet Archive, not anything about Project 2025.

    First the Jan. 6 Database, now CDC content… They’re just going to try to erase any and all information they don’t like, hmm? I hope every agency has everything quadruple backed-up at the very least.

      It’s deeper than that. Trump literally thinks disease, illness, deformities are “weakness” and that they must be eradicated.

      Like Hitler, he doesn’t understand genetics and that two healthy people can produce offspring that has issues. Genetics isn’t perfect, “mistakes” get made.

      Further, two healthy intelligent adults does not automatically beget a child who is a healthy and intelligent. Nor do two unintelligent parents automatically beget unintelligent children. (Ask me how I know the second one)

      He will kill millions to “prove it.”

      “They were weak, if they weren’t they wouldn’t have died when we put them in conditions that would kill anybody” or some dumb shit is probably his thought process.

        Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing. I remember he secretly got the Covid vaccine while denying it even existed

    Trump was definitely the kind of kid that hid his trash behind his built into the wall shelves, and never got busted for it… He seriously thinks if we simply don’t know about a virus, we won’t be concerned with it, forget all the people dying, forget the over flowing ER’s, there is no new virus threatening the world… Dudes seriously worse than just dim. He should have learned his lesson and made sure disease control was in tip top shape… After all, wet markets still exist around the globe… Covid part 2 ain’t some pie in the sky impossibility. He dumb. People might die because of it.

    What was once up can return, and I don’t think a blackout of information over 4 years will matter that much long term (people have other sources for correct HIV prevention information, for instance).

    It is more concerning how unequipped we’ll be during the next pandemic since our agencies are cutting ties to international allies to help track illnesses. If it’s like the first time, it’ll suck although at least it’ll kill off his followers in higher numbers than innocent people.
