The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

… 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.

    Now the attempt to kill the web archive makes sense.

        An archive of all CDC datasets uploaded to https://data.cdc.gov/browse before January 28th, 2025. Excludes corrupt datasets and data not publicly accessible.

        Most datasets are accompanied by an additional file ending in -meta that includes the metadata associated with the data. Attachments referenced in these files can be found in the attachments/ folder.

        If you would like to seed this data to improve its redundancy please do not use the auto generated torrent, as it is incomplete. Instead use the torrent file labeled “full-20250128-cdc-datasets-USETHIS.torrent”

      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.
