Purging federal health agency websites of vital information is disrupting health care and medical research

\By Will Collette

Here's a partial list of forbidden terms

Here are two interesting articles covering the impact of the Trump regime to strip federal websites of content that might somehow annoy Trump or the MAGA people. 

In some instances, whole reports are being pulled to review them and censor out any references to transgender, LGBT health issues and a host of other subjects that Trump wants to ignore. See the list at left.

These two articles describe what information is being removed and what medical researchers are doing to try to cope with this sledgehammer censorship assault.

The first article is from the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP; "SID-wrap") 

The second article is from the activist site Truthout and describes active measures underway to mitigate the dangers to public health and safety created by this blackout. 

Here's the first article. I recommend you read both.

Removal of pages from CDC website brings confusion, dismay

Chris Dall, MA

Several pages on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website remain offline amid a move by the Trump administration to remove all language related to gender identity and LGBTQ issues from government communications.

According to social media posts from researchers and journalists, pages on the CDC website started to disappear late last week, with searches producing the message "The page you're looking for was not found." Among the many pages that remain down are Health Disparities Among LQBTQ Youth, Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of Vaccine for Mpox Prevention, and Fast Facts: HIV and Transgender People.

Pages containing data from the CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System are also unavailable, as is the Health Equity Guiding Principles for Inclusive Communication page. A page containing vaccine recommendations and guidelines from the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was also unavailable for a time late last week but is now back online.

The moves are linked to an executive order issued by the Trump administration that stated the federal government will only recognize an individual's "immutable biological classification" as either male or female and that gender identity cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex. The order calls for all agencies to "remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications or other messages."

A subsequent memo from the Office of Personnel Management called on the heads and acting heads of departments and agencies to "Take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) that inculcate or promote gender ideology" by 5 pm, January 31.

Over the weekend, a note was added to the CDC website that states, "CDC's website is being modified to comply with President Trump's Executive Orders."
