With #CDC still director-less, Sec. Kennedy has signed off on #ACIP recommendations to require all #flu vaccine for the US market to be #thimerosal free.
He did not, however, sign off on the ACIP recommendation that everyone get a flu shot. That recommendation is "under review." Ditto a recommendation for use of Merck's new monoclonal to protect babies from #RSV.

"Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump #CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe."
https://www.404media.co/archivists-recreate-pre-trump-cdc-website-are-hosting-it-in-europe/

"A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website exactly as it was the day Donald Trump was inaugurated. The site, called RestoredCDC.org, went live Tuesday and is currently being hosted in Europe…Restored CDC isn’t going to have continuous updates on this type of healthcare and disease guidance, but it has brought back all of the critical data that was purged in an easy to use, easy to navigate, and fast website."

Here's the site itself.

Data manipulation within the US Federal Government [1]

👉Government datasets modified without notice.

▪️We gathered metadata from the US Department of Health and Human Services, CDC, and Veterans Affairs database harvest sources [... ] that were modified between Jan 20 and March 25, 2025.

▪️We found that 114 (49%) of the 232 included datasets were substantially altered.

⭐SOME CHANGES⭐

- “Social determinants of health” to “non
medical factors”
- “Gender” to “sex”
- “female details” column deleted

▪️The agencies involved have not issued any statements confirming or explaining these changes [...]

▪️Despite Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's (Department of Health and Humana Services) calls for “radical transparency”, unlogged data manipulation moves away from meaningful transparency.

▪️Only 15 (13%) of the 114 altered datasets logged or otherwise indicated that the change had occurred.

The report, called "Thimerosal as a Vaccine Preservative" published on the #CDC website on Tues, is to be presented by Lyn Redwood, a fmr leader of the #AntiVaccine group Children's Health Defense.

It makes reference to a study called "Low-level neonatal thimerosal exposure: Long-term consequences in the brain," published in the journal Neurotoxicology in 2008, & co-authored by UC Davis Professor Emeritus Robert Berman.

What is being lost by the slashing of programs at the #CDC? This story from @STAT's Eric Boodman is a clear example of what America is losing — and risking — by dismantling its public health citadel. https://www.statnews.com/2025/05/23/cdc-journal-mmwr-publishing-research-from-fired-scientists-reveals-lost-capabilities/
